Bitcoin mining Bitcoin Mining v Gold Mining Use computers and programs to calculate Hashes Hashes = Attempts to create a successful Block Block = A record in the Blockchain Block Rewards = A set amount of new coin / block + any network fees during the block Mining Pools = Shared work = Shared Risk / Reward 6 Confirmations = 6 Sigma Event More miners = Safer network = Prevent Double-Spend *NOTE* Mining is NOT required to use crypto-currencies and very few users are miners due to high barriers to entry on a medium/large scale

FinCEN 2013 Ruling Ruled Bitcoin did NOT constitute a “Money Service Business” “…is a medium of exchange that operates like a currency in some environments, but does not all have all the attributes of a real currency” BIG WIN FOR CRYPTO Signals Bitcoin is “its own money” No physical form = no illegal act (ie: Liberty Reserve) Solidifies the legality of BTC and starts the price increase

Investment in production Miners as a way to convert the product (coins) into a production asset The production asset will deliver the product over a certain time frame Scaling Barriers to entry Network Difficulty Profit in coin versus USD
Challenges and risks Scalability – Very difficult to scale Power Hardware Cooling Ventilation Currency risk Network Difficulty Delivery Risk
Not for everyone *Insert Burnt Power Cord Pic* Blown fuses Electricity Capital Intensive Only Crypto Payments Complex Difficult to operate Many purchase hash power instead of owning equipment
Created 2 products Coins Hash Power These are not necessarily mutually exclusive Hash Power can be sold, at times, >100% of what the production is! Illustrates imbalances between coins Solo versus Pool mining Network difficulty not a 1:1 ratio for decline in profitability (in coin)
Where are we headed? BTC vs Gold In this above historical chart of gold, we find a clue to the future value of BTC. We believe that Bitcoin is trading similar to a commodity (such as gold) and given a market's tendency to rhyme, we believe this to be a solid target for the end of this Major wave 3. That gives us a price target of 696 which is exactly 261.8% the amount of the prior high of 266 for BTC/USD. The 261.8% is a result of Fibonacci numbers - an analysis commonly used for stock and commodity trading. Further more, the October 24th decline stopped at the 61.8% retracement level, a level that is considered major support by stock/commodity/FOREX traders.
Price of bitcoin = gold Ounces vs tonnes => BTC vs mBTC Published in 2013 – Figures Updated for Today’s Values Bitcoin Supply = 16.463 M BTC As a long-long term prospect, we believe Bitcoin could replace gold as the standard for "inflation hedging" . Here is our math: The total value (in USD) of all the gold in the world estimated at $7,800,000,000,000! Taking that amount and dividing it by the total supply of Bitcoins (16.463 Million BTC) => 7,800,000,000,000 / 16,463,000 = => $473,789 per Bitcoin The maximum supply of Bitcoin will reach 21 million in the year 2140, so using the same math, but over 21 million Bitcoins = =>$371,428 per Bitcoin
Ethereum, litecoin, & others Gold Silver [Ratio] Platinum Back to mining => as the cost of production increases, miners will sell at higher prices, moving the commodity value increasingly higher. Known rate of supply Quantifiable cash flow streams Developing applications
