Slightly concerned about the break even time when considering if it’s worth expanding the farm, it must be 3 or 4yrs at the moment just accounting for the disks alone (excluding power). It’s not like the cost of hard drives is going to fall by half or double in size in a year or two.
Why design something where the investment return is going to reduce? Will people want to pay twice as much for chia overnight well I don’t know. If some farmers give up then the time to win may go down I guess.
Anyone else worried, what are your plans?
I’m half in it just to enjoy playing around with the hardware. I don’t trust it enough to buy Chia like many do say.
I think that halving will discourage people from continuing. Anyone on the fence, considering getting into Chia farming, will be discouraged from getting started.
The more popular Chia becomes, the more mainstream Chia will become, and the more long-term staying power it will have. I do not see how halving will accomplish that. It seems counter intuitive.

I am no financial expert.
Maybe there is some benefit to halving?
Without a benefit, why do so?
Not at all! You’re looking at it completely wrong. The halvings are a good thing! They’ll drive the price up. Look at bitcoins history. Every halving, caused a bull run. Granted, chia is not bitcoin, but same principles apply. I am excited for the halving. I’m interested to see what it’ll do for Chia’s price!
It may be enough to offset the pre-mine when they unlock it (for loans, the project, coin burns, whatever they decide on).
Honestly I’m more curious about the break even point, where even if you have either free power or free drives, it’s no longer profitable to expand the farm (kind of where ASICs, GPUs, and CPU mining are at right now).
No. Depends on where your pulling your numbers. BTC’s 2017 run produced something like 17-20x gains IIRC. As I said though… That’s Bitcoins lol. The grandfather. I’d expect to see at least 5-10x in the next run up. It’s generally what most alts do. Some go much much higher than that. Depends on the hype around a given project. Ultimately though, what causes the bull cycles is BTCs halving.
The runs on BTC usually peak around a year after the halving iirc. I’d have to pull a chart up and get all the dates to check specifically.
Definitely. You should’ve started scaling into any cryptos that you want around q3 of 2022. That’s what I started doing anyways. Bought a lump sum around Thanksgiving and then started putting $100/week into projects that I wanted to accumulate. Strategy has been doing well for me so far! Portfolio has pretty much doubled.
The next BTC halving is a much smaller impact in terms of % issuance compared to the first. The first halving of XCH will cut farmer sell pressure on the market in half while demand remains the same. Currently farmer sell pressure is a large % of the total XCH out there. I’d be pretty bullish on that, I don’t expect the price to double, but a 10-20% increase wouldn’t be out of the question.
Sounds like a reasonable estimate. As usual, things could be more but it’s better to be pessimistic in planning than optimistic. Pessimistic people have tornado shelters when tornados come
If the gain is just 20%, that could mean the end of Chia, as farms would not be sustainable anymore (for most folks ROI would be way longer than drive lifespans).
Hear me out people. You guys need to understand that… Chia is going to 3k usd dollar in the next 24 months.
I believe in what Chia network is trying to do. Of course is not easy, the FUD about the hardrives and the profitable of the mining are justify but once up a time Bitcoin suffer the same, with your own “problems”…
The price action of the last 12 months is absolutely amazing. I expected one last scary extremely brutal, sending us to about ~20 bucks or a little less. After that all of you must to tie your cintbelt because, for sure, WE ARE GOING TO THE F* MOON!!!
Legitimate? Are you a kid? What I say is what I personaly think will gonna happen, is legit to me., certainly not for you, sell all the Chia that you have right now.
