Does the mining time per bitcoin fluctuate with it's value?

No, the block time for the Bitcoin network is always targeted to be 10 minutes (it's usually something closer to 9.5 minutes). Since bitcoin mining is such a large scale task these days, the hash rate doesn't respond very quickly to price changes.

What's your favorite crime to pay for with Bitcoin? Please be specific and includes as many dates, times, and locations as possible.

"China bans bitcoin!" ... for the tenth time. Amazing that this still works after all these years. Give me your cheap coins, losers, better hurry, China really means it this time!

For those who are unaware, the Chinese government is large and complex (obviously being the largest country in the world isn't easy). The regulatory environment in each province can be tough to handle and so Chinese miners end up having to dump their stash at various times (it almost always gets timed to a bullrun, imagine that). They're usually just chasing the taxes.

This works time and time again because Bitcoin is still a fledgling thing and during bullruns the majority of investors are always lemmings who have no idea that this has happened before. The only time you should have taken China seriously was in 2012. Any time after that is just an obvious ploy to get you to dump your coins. Don't fall for it...

China flexing their scope on the world is just their playbook in everything these days.

If I never sell then what's the difference between buying crypto and simply lighting my money on fire? Lighting it on fire at least provided me warmth.

My response wasn’t about you specifically. It’s about how you can generate wealth from unrealized gains. Borrow against the position and invest in something you plan to liquidate for a gain.

Ah, I see the confusion, I said "If I never sell..." but you thought I said, "If a theoretical individual with the potential to have vast sums of wealth tied up in crypto never sells..."

Easy mistake.

Not strictly a mistake, but k. Stop being a poor pleb is my advice to you specifically. Seems like a dumb move.

Bitcoin CRASHES to only $21,335 each!

In order to match the previous power of Bitcoin crashes (which it obviously recovered from). The price should be approximately 90% of the all-time-high (which is about $68k). I suspect Bitcoin will go back down to about $10k. This is unthinkable for the people who bought in within the past year or so, but they'll get over it. They'll sell and kick themselves when it's at $1 million each by 2030.

1 bitcoin is worth over 210,000 NOK (around 21,560 USD) and it increases in price because of interest if you keep it in the bank or whatever.
Gold increases in price too but 1 ounce is worth less than a bitcoin.
It would be better to buy 1 bitcoin instead of gold in my opinion.
Professional procrastinator.
