Atulya Sarin : Bitcoin key players : MarketWatch

Professor of Finance Atulya Sarin published an article in MarketWatch discussing the value drop of bitcoin and how bitcoin mining seeks to recover some of these losses.

However, if the price were to drop below mining cost, miners would not receive a compensation for their losses in cost of capital and would find it best not to be involved in the bitcoin blockchain. Regulatory interference and uncertainties about a technology in its infancy are two of the main concerns that Professor Sarin talks about in his article as key players that are affecting bitcoin.
