I'm a career programmer too, that's actually looked at some of the recent Core releases, and I can tell you that there's been maybe only a handful of lines of code added to Core in the last year or two.
A. Handful. Of. Lines. In. Over. A. Years. Time.
So let's don't over-glorify these so called developers and put them up on some sort of pedestal. If they had only coded that much in a business world white collar desk job setting, they'd be fired by now for being over-paid slackers. [ ... ]
after 6 years of development, Bitcoin Core is pretty much complete and solid at this point. With the exception of increasing block size, and maybe a few other little things, there's very little left for the Core developers to actually do. So they're basically just downshifted into long term maintenance mode at this point, which anyone can do on the side for a few hours a week.
For one thing, development has been stalled over the last year by the feud between Gavin and the small-blockians. Gavin has coded and tested BIP101 (the only one of those BIPs that has been implemented, AFAIK) several months ago, but has not been allowed to put it into the core.
But, apart from that, a good software developer is not one who makes lots of changes. The best way to increase the block size was coded by Satoshi in 2010, and it is a one-line patch. Blockchain voting is a significant but pointless complication, with many things that could go wrong (in the code and its operation). Too bad that Gavin had to add it for BIP101 in order to appease the ideologues.
The problem with Greg is that he does not really like Satoshi's design, and has his own strong ideas on how bitcoin should be. He has been pushing for that vision for a couple of years at least; and now that he has the power, he is bent in implementing it.
The Core devs certainly are not in "maintenance" mode. Just the SW proposal is a major redesign of a data structure that iis shared by tens of thousands of users and hundreds pf independent applications. One should not be adding all those new features to a production system whose users and app developers are still struggling to cope with. In fact, with their plans for the "fee market" and the off-chain processing, they are in full "retargeting" mode One should not try to do a major redesign of the
functionality, like the fee market, without knowing whether it will work or not.
Greg may be a good cryptographer and programmer, but he is not a good software developer. In fact, it seems that he does not know what that means, and does not want to know ...
Stop whining, Stolfi. Bitcoin is the future of money. Get over it!
Maybe they are trying to slow down the process? You know, just to buy themselves some more time.

The main advantages of Ethereum over Bitcoin is that people in control are qualified and expected to not screw everything, unlike Core people.
You must be oblivious to the development crisis's and mistakes in Ethereum and the flight of developers from that project.
I think its main advantage could be that the founder of the project is still there and functions as a "natural consensus".
Also its good that his identity is known.Apart from that ETH could get the same problems and civilwars that Bitcoin is experiencing.
Good point.
All this cultist crap around Satoshi is not healthy.
Have to admit sometimes it's a bit worrying...
"Hey what if we do that"
"Satoshi didn't invent bitcoin for that"
"Yeah but that would be cool no?"
"It's not what Satoshi wanted"
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeh...
Who cares who the inventor of the protocol is. The fact that we've gotten this far without him is proof that we can go even further. You don't see Étienne Lenoir improving the gasoline engine nowadays and pulling the strings what could and could not be implemented.

Let's see what the status of the apparatus is:
Mining is concentrated in a country known to nationalize businesses, be hostile towards Bitcoin and to manipulate currency.
Blocks are full and getting more fullerer.
Core is divided on scaling solutions, but won't do anything without near unanimity.
Etherium is threatening to overtake our firstmover advantage.
MtGox bankruptcy coins are going on the auction block probably in a few months.
Classic growth seems to have slowed or stopped.
So of course the market is going up. Makes sense.
at least satoshi is not selling!
Don't jinx it!

polo coins getting dumped and btc going up... makes you wonder how far this will go and if it was planned before halving.
Well, people are waking up. That the hype is about bitcoin block halving, not about altcoins. There is still money to be made with alts. When bitcoin rockets, most alts will most likely follow.

Sry. Didn't mean to spoil your "one or more entities ... accumulating all in one go" fantasy. Of course they're accumulating, Sweetness! They want your Beanies so hard, why, they don't even care about slippage
Still showing your less than stellar brain capacity and leading with your ignorance. You still haven't discovered the underlying theme behind such a purposeful buy. But you should probably go back to your other threads you seem to mindlessly attack.
And the dozen or more threads she OP'd the last 7ish days that were pure Fart, I mean FUD, that got axed by mods for the degenerative content (or the same spiel each time) and laid to rest. When you post to get that many threads over time, deleted, you know you must have a life full of shit. Time to get a life you would think.
Stop picking on my favorite fudder! His soul may be full of fud but his heart is in the right place, besides bitcoin needs some fud, else everyone would be hodling and price would skyrocket. But then again, I'm no expert on this.

MAKE IT SOYou could get 10k zombies for your botnet at the cost of 2 bitcoins at hackforums. If you set the cryptolocker unlock price at around 1bitcoin, you'd need 3 people out of 10k to care enough of their data to be in profit. It's pretty basic math, right?
Might note that ransomware software costs about 1.5 btc itself.
Someone smarter than me please tell me why it cannot be done on a larger or smaller scale?

Adams, could we have this poll please.
Bitcoin price at September would be ?
September is a long time away my old friend, let's predict more short term, maybe end of June - 500 USD?
My dear brother, I know it's a long time, but I asked for september exactly because it will be post-halving and most probably we will have fireworks
Oh ok I see. Well yes I'd like to see a few fireworks in September then
I'm 95% sure about this
I checked the charts for the last halving, it went up a bit then flatlined for a month or two afterwards. A few months later was when it started going up in price, then mooning. If history repeats itself then September sounds good for fireworks.
I find the idea of going to mars a bit better. I mean even elon musk is aiming there. We can't be worse guys.

i need more cheap bitcoins
We had most of 2015 to stock up on cheap coins. Even as late as last August the price was below $200.
Anyone with more fiat than Bitcoin has only him/herself to blame.
That said, I'd love to acquire more coins but I'd rather see the value of my amassed coins skyrocket.
2014 was the aberration, the only calendar year that saw the price of bitcoins actually fall. Now it's time for Bitcoin to resume its natural organic growth.
I was thrown out of a train, because I didn't have enough money to buy a ticket. I'm such a bum, but for some reason I feel rich.

I was always worried about some type of financial collapse and the population not being technologically capable of adapating to things like payment channels for scaling. You could circulate massive amounts of "opendime" slips in a short amount of time for people to do things like grocery shopping. Then you get the benefits of both gold and digital money at once.

Each of us have different BTC accumulation starting points... and even different expectations regarding how we accumulate or when we are going to sell, if ever.
I find that keeping my value within a network that is secured by exponential amounts of hashing power is safer than a banks central database. We couldn't recreate this, even if we wanted to. The current state of the network is made way too easy to use, a lot of applications make converting into fiat a breeze. My local exchange has 0 deposit fees and 1 cent withdraw fees. The volumes are low, but that doesn't really concern me. Also bitcoin debit cards, who knows what's next.
Personally, I like upwards movement, but I don't mind stagnating a little while in order to accumulate a few more coins........ but yeah, up is definitely better for me... because I feel like I am in a fairly decent accumulated position.... in other words, I profit much more from upwards rather than downwards.... At this moment, my BTC investment portfolio is a little more than 92% in .... hahahaha
I have 2 silver denarium rounds, it's my only value not related to bitcoin. I used to own some local stocks, but that shit was way too boring for me. I sold all of my stocks for bitcoin last year. In bitcoin you can see action going on 24/7, there isn't a moment where nothing is going on, the network is way too huge for that. I find that it's inevitable that bitcoin will "succeed"(because it already has). First it'll be the under serviced, then rest of the fuckers. I also like that I can interact with my money- Something that you can't do with stocks and bonds.
I don't even know if bitcoin is money or an investment for me.

Sure... that is true. There are quite a few aspects to bitcoin, and bitcoin has been criticized fairly extensively (and some truth to it) regarding lack of user-friendly apps. Furthermore, frequently, people only want to spend so much time on any new activity... whether that be bitcoin or something else... So, maybe we may blame people for being dumb, and not mass adopting bitcoin - yet these time management and prioritizing are real issues whenever bitcoin is introduced to anybody.. and they make choices regarding the level of their introduction - what aspects are interesting to them and how they plan to use the technology, if at all.
It's like early days of the internet, and many people only ventured as far as their AOL account would easily take them... .remember dialing into an AOL account... hahahaha.. approximately mid-90s.. that kind of internet experience even lasted until 2006s.. and I believe is still provided some dial up version.
I remember telling a friend that Internet is a pyramid scheme. People who adopt now, will get the benefits that earlier users have already built.

Well, yeah... any system that is built upon networks take a while to flesh out (whether internet, banks, telephone systems, fax systems or many other potentially analogous systems), yet probably a lot of us realize that the passed several years, and possibly a decade or longer have resulted in a lot of corrupting influences in banking (although there likely have been such corrupting influences building and building in the banking system for longer periods, including the past few hundred years that banking has become more and more sophisticated with the passage of time).
Bitcoin has a long way to go to become mass adopted as banking systems - and maybe we can hope that various decentralized mechanisms are going to remain in bitcoin for sometime in order to make it more difficult to corrupt in similar directions, like banking has seemed to become a kind of con job... Maybe also it will take a while for bitcoin to be taken over by narrow interests, at least during our life times.. - nonetheless, some corrupting influences are likely just unavoidable..
In bitcoin, we should realize that there are quite a few creative people working on various bitcoin applications and in other cryptos - and some of the creativity will likely result in new and improved user-friendliness, if that was kind of the original point regarding how people actually may be attempting to incorporate bitcoin into their experiences.
so buy more coins for better future?

I wouldn't call this boring at all compared with flat periods that we have had in the past.
We've had periods of several weeks of flat... and at the moment, there just seems to be some volatility in the midst... o.k.... maybe I am going to be wrong, and we will stay in this $446 to $456 price range for the next week...? But I am getting the sense that there is some underlying anxiety at this particular price point, we are too close to $467... so it seems that in the coming days we gotta go either up or down in order to relieve some of that anxiety. No?
It has been fairly exciting for me, even though I had not seen any explosions in the past couple of days.... For example, I am kind of still recovering from our nearly 8% correction from a few days ago (down from $470 to $435), and our recovery of over half of that..., too..
Exciting!
Most of last year was floating around $250, it wasn't until winter when we had some serious movement upwards. But like you say there is definitely some anxiety in the air.
The recent correction to $435 was seen days beforehand, you could see that there was just no way we were going to breach $470. The pump just came in way too fast for it to be sustainable.
Don't forget guys 9.2% per year is our target. Anything above that is unrealistic.

If retards managed to turn just 10% of that $121.05M into actual folding money, without running afoul of arbitrary bullshit laws created by government shills to shackle the invisible hand and add needless friction to the otherwise frictionless free market price discovery, that's 12 frikin' million dollars worth of freedom.

Their 21Inc computers mine bitcoins, 40% goes to the user, 60% goes to 21inc.
"Why would anyone run this?" You ask. Their response is the vast software network that the computers connect to.
I would not doubt it if they take a percentage of every microtransaction.
The microtransactions work by going to the 21inc server and then they get combined into one transaction. There they can easily pull bitcoins from that transaction.
They initially promised that they had a chip that could mine 10 times faster than what was on the market. This helped to get them the investments. They did not quite deliver on that promise.
So they're trying to do something like lightning network, only by mining? Last I've heard they weren't getting any blocks.

I checked out of curiosity, seems like their block explorer is full of mining and poloniex txs... so I don't think they are taking any load from BTC. Actually it wouldn't make any sense to do so as LTC, DASH and DOGE have more widespread adoption than ETH - they are the primary candidates for taking more txs.
Speculation and mining are the main economic activity of all coins, including BTC. A growth-capped BTC is good for all alts, I'm sure your DASH will have its day in the sun too. No need for concern, just keep supporting Blockstream, it'll happen.
But in bitcoin you can invest in a ponzi of every kind. You know, fun money.

from 450 to 650 is quite a big jump, will take much more than 1 or 2(or some dozens) of barriers to be broken until 600+ is reached, if it ever reaches such level any time soon

You can't even buy drugs or alpaca socks with that. I bet DAO will fail because there is literally no business on ether network. It'll take a couple of months before the poisonous bagholders show up.

You've clearly not done your research. Slock.it and Mobotiq compete with airbnb and UBER...both of these companies (and plenty of others) will be funded via the DAO and Ethereum. The network effects at play here are massive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49wHQoJxYPoYou've clearly turned ETH shill from a look at your recent posts.
Whatever you want to call it dude, im adapting. Ethereum has more full nodes and more daily trading volume than BTC. Don't be butthurt if ETH goes to 0.1 BTC and youre still holding BTC
Yea, but you're literally saying that DAO has already succeeded, as the killer app. But you're far from the truth.

I believe that Funky meant that Litecoin went to $1billion ($50) on nothing because largely Litecoin adds little value to what bitcoin was then providing.
The same cannot be said about bitcoin - because not only was bitcoin the first, but it plowed the way for a lot of this other copy cat (and even possible improvements upon) its base model and solving a (double spend coupled with decentralization) problem that had previously NOT been resolved (and evasive to many who had previously attempted to figure out a solution).
So bitcoin was adding value, even in the bubble to $1,200 - even though it was then (and subsequently discovered) not able to then sustain a $1,200 value.
Oh so, ethereum is riding on this nothing wave as well? Does this nothing we speak of ever run out?
Bitcoin has darknet markets and alpaca socks.

Besides, the only thing to do with eth is invest it in DAO. I've yet to see a good DAO project, hell I've even yet to see a good sustainable bitcoin project.
Everything is a scam until proven otherwise.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in ethereum every node needs to execute the smart contract. Imo that's really a big waste of resources, when you have a much lighter version of the same system on the bitcoin network via rootstock, you can also use counterparty. Vitalik fucked this one up big time. How is he going to explain to his investors that he made a useless shitcoin.

If you weren't buying ETH at $7.11, you probably shouldn't be buying it at $14.30... ? IDK.
I don't think anyone knows how much capital Blockstream will scare out of BTC before they capitulate. My impression is that Gregory's planetary sized ego would rather see it all burn than compromise.
I saw the hype coming when eth was at $2, at first I didn't think it was going to consume this amount of capital. Now I just think that I don't want to get dumped on.
I'm still bearish on the long term vision of eth. When men in black knock on Vitaliks door, god knows what will happen.

BTCeanie holder, an "Kick me, I <3

BTCeanie silver "round"
Yeah I love the embarrassment when walking around with my magic internet money t-shirt. Sometimes it feels like people would see me as more sane when I didn't have a t-shirt on at all(I'd put bitcoin stickers on my nipples).
I was thinking about going to my local bitcoin conference(if that ever happens) with a bag of flour and interview bitcoiners. My main question would be on sustainable bitcoin investments, with a hint of snorting flour and record that.

Isn't everything in life like gambling? At least in bitcoin you can chose to be the one with 1% edge.
Even 1% edge isn't sustainable if the casino makes a run for it. I bet my local bitcoiners know a lot more on growing bitcoins than I do. I'm a dummie on these types of things.
If there was an autonomous casino on the ether network with sustainable traffic I still wouldn't invest in that, because I don't trust ether as much as I trust bitcoin.
I think that Ethereum scam is currently fed by bitcoin block halving hype, only it has snowballed way out of hand.

There's money to be made -- mainly creative ways to launder money, but:
1. Just like with any other totally legit enterprise, you have to be hooked up, know the right people, and, most important, you have to really know what you're doing.
2. It's important to get in and get out at the right time. This thing got torched years ago. If you haven't noticed, bitcoin's been passed down to third-worlders now, spamming in pidgin for change they make from sig ads. Bitcoin's as fresh as
Ya homey, have you dug that show, Daddy-o? Dawg my man, it da groovy bomb! Popin' fresh radical, check it, muh nigga!
1. Look at this space, most fuckers think they know exactly what they're doing. Talking about really complicated stuff, that they have literally no concept of. I'm qualified as one of these dumb people, at least I'm aware of it.
Talking about legit enterprises, what qualifies as legit? You can't even use the project leader as an oracle, because they might not even be aware that they are unintentionally scamming people. So knowing the right people gets you where exactly?
I have to agree, that there is money to be made. Money flows more freely within crypto, than in our conventional regional monetary system.
2. Timing the markets is something beyond my comprehension at the moment. Mostly because I've had pretty bad history with trading. Buying and hodling suits me way better, I can read charts, however predicting the future is way too difficult for me. Everyone who says, that they can predict anything is a fool.

"Inefficient"? Does ETH need to burn as much electricity as a small country to simply *exist*? A bitcoiner talking about efficiency
What am I going to do? Knock on every miners door and tell them to shut down their operations, just because creating fungible value with their electricity is wrong? Besides we needed a system where registered value became anonymous value.
Also ether network isn't as secure and hasn't got as much work in it as bitcoin network has. Remember, ether lays ontop of bitcoin not the other way round.

Have I advised you to go knocking on miner's doors? No. Because that would be fucking stupid. Because bicoin is inefficient by design. Satoshi himself said that the cost of mining one BTC should approach the market price of 1 BTC. Imagine if banksters had to buy ~$30 of gear & burn $60 of state-subsidized coal to print a hundred-dollar bill? That's what bitcoin is *designed* to do.
But wait! That's not all!
If, by some twisted trick of fate, bitcoin lives on past teh Halvening, bitcoin "security" will be cut in half, if BTC price doesn't double. Double it will not, because the last time I cared how much miners make or lose, before buying BTC, was never.
TL;DR: You said ETH is inefficient. I pointed out that BTC is the epitome of inefficiency. Knocking on people's doors won't help; stay home and try not to cry

I've already lost all of my money, by exchanging it to bitcoins(and I continue to do so with every paycheck). So there isn't really any money left to lose. I'm as broke as a person can be. Once I was thrown out of a train for not having enough money for a ticket, €1.20 to be exact.

Eth isn't really meant for value transfer, but smart contracts and dao and whatever. But eth was born like 5 years before any of this is useful.
Maybe in 5 years time they'll realize how inefficient their whole platform is.
"Inefficient"? Does ETH need to burn as much electricity as a small country to simply *exist*? A bitcoiner talking about efficiency
Get over this idea in which you suggest that BTC is wasting energy in a process that secures value, preserves the historical record and mines bitcoin. It's a small price to pay for the overall value achieved in creating such a paradigm shifting and transformative value transmission and storage, amongst other developing applications.
Yes, ETH has a few problems, and just one of them is that it is efficient because there are small number of people controlling it's direction and pumping various aspects of it's "efficiency" that comes at a cost to security, immutability and just having targets on the back of people who are controlling it and may well get prosecuted for their innovative pumping manipulations. Since there has been a lot of money pouring into ETH, it is very likely that there are going to be a variety of innovations in which bitcoin and other crypto currencies are going to be able to both learn from and to profit from some of the ETH "innovations."
Yeah, possibly ETH could experience another 4x pump or maybe even more, but fundamental flaws exist in the model exist that are likely going to cause very incredible difficulties for it to retain value once a cascading of dumps begin to occur.,. I will be quite surprised if a cascading of dumps does not occur within the next few months, but I don't have time and energy to invest any of my own bets into ETH's price direction because really I cannot in any meaningful way know the minds and/or level of resources that some big interested capital may want to play the irrational ETH pump to cause it to be pumped passed any imaginable reasonable level (and there are a lot of folks who would be able to make such manipulations of ETH with a relatively small amount of capital)

I think that it is better to attempt to project your cashflow ahead of time.
This sounds like a credit based system.

I have been engaged in such a cash flow projection application for well over 25 years. I believe that my earlier cashflow projection versions were less sophisticated, but it really helps to consider your cashflow projection in order that you do not get caught without cash and/or you have various back-up plans in circumstances in which you may be stretching your finances a bit thin.
Anyhow, sometimes, you may not realize the financial impact of various circumstances until you project out the situation and then prepare for worst case scenarios... can be used with credit as well, but not only in regards to credit but in regards to a lot of cash flow circumstances (and considering some unknowns too)
I tend to use a custom-made Excel spreadsheet for my various flowsheets with a master flowsheet and some other sub flowsheets that may or may not be linked to one another (depending on whether I believe it is necessary to make such linkages).
I like your idea of using Excel in your monetary planning. I'll give it a try.

Hello! I'm new here ... But I have been watching you all from the shadows for the past 200 pages or so... ( oh boy .. that was creepy... )
I read the forum while eating popcorn, drinking "bear" and trading the bitcoin all day long!
... And I came here for the bear fights and rocket pictures!!! I <3 rocket pics!
Welcome Savetherainforest!
For pictures youre shoud use Imgur.com, so ppl dont need to click a link for youre rocket pics.
I think newbies can't use IMG tags. For safety.
Buyers were just figuring it out that there is a lot of negative hype about bitcoin, and it is the shit... ETH does not really seem to have much to do with the current BTC pump.
Eth will fall even further in future months. There is no practical use for
DAO(
A fund that holds ether, that can be manipulated by exchanges to vote for themselves for profit)
I'm going to speculate, that bitcoin price will increase because of this.
During that price movement process of recent months and last week's breaking of the $470 resistance, the theory is either that: 1) the bears (sellers) are running out of coins to sell (and no one else really wants to sell when the price goes lower than $440), or that 2) the price is being manipulated by whales (large holders of coins)...
however, even though the volume did not pick up initially except to bring us from the $450s to $490s, the volume did pick up after that so the price battle ensued, and it really seems that we are not being manipulated by whales... and sellers are running out of coins...
in essence the theory of my first posting, demand exceeds supply.

Regarding price, it seems that there remains a certain upwards pressure.. but maybe some of the exchanges are running out of money, and yeah, stamp seems to kind of been holding up everyone else in regards to price, no?
There could be some folks on Stamp that are holding a lot of cash, but they do not want to pump too early in the weekend in case they may experience too big of a battle from bears, so in that regards, they are waiting for reinforcements to come from deposits - because even the big players would rather not have to bear the whole burden of any kind of pump. So maybe we will get a pump in the next 12 hours, maybe right before new deposit money arrives? I know, more guessing from me.
Don't you think that Stamp might have too low volumes to hold the price back? Arent the main moves coming from the Chinese exchanges? Stamp kind of seems irrelevant compared to
I'm going to suggest that we are going to stay green the next few days, then correct ourselves.

What's that mean? doing 10% per month? Are you trading 10% of your BTC holdings, or are you profiting 10% per month (profiting consistently 10% per month is 120% per year, and there would be rare instances in which anyone could carry that out, especially consistently).
Sure some years, people gain more than other years in trading, but it seems fairly unreal to profit consistency in any kind of way, and if you can profit consistently more than 20% per year, you would be a superstar if you were to sell your talents.
No ... I'm for real ... like 10 then next month > 11 > 12.1 > 13.31 .. etc
Isn't that normal? ... You just have to feel your gut and take decisions in a weird way ... play it safe but live a little!
Btw .. I think the whale woke up .. he started trading again! All aboard!!! Chiuuuuu!!! Chiuuuuuuu!!!
What if you were to short just before we went from $440 to $500. You'd make a profit of -$580 on your 10 bitcoins, just within a snap of a finger. Even traders who have trained their guts, get the taste of losing to the market. Your 10% per month isn't sustainable. However if you're making any kind of profits with crypto, you're still doing better than the guys who got too greedy.

It is really about taking responsibility ... if I ever make a mistake ... or better said when I made mistakes if I saw someone going against the tide I just buyback in at a 0.1% - 0.5% loss! And I stay like 90% of the time in bitcoin and 10% of the time in fiat. And when I trade I stay like a leech chained to the computer! ... You can not leave your coins over night in fiat! Because there are somewhere around 150 - 200 trillions of fiat fake money in the world! ... And if in some day in the future all the governments of the world decided behind close doors that they need to have 50% bitcoin of their total liquidity! ... and I'm not saying 50% as in 100 trillion ... but even 21 trillions, that would make 1 million for each coin! Cause they will want in on this.... they can't tax us for using it! So they must get involved to created government services paid with bitcoins. And they will also want to control the price ... and as far as I'm concerned they will have meetings and set a price for bitcoin at a global scale! And basically they will say we need it to stay at 1.240.500 per coin with a 0.0001% spread! ... So basically we pay them for services like simple things in life... health care in their hospitals or the tax per property. And they will peg it to something else than $ , euro ... they will peg it to gold and silver! And that is something they can control in some way! ... So basically we need to create our own private education system and private schools. Keep the money inside the family! And not give the government majority holdings! ... But they will not do that 0.0001% spread thingy! They will make an illusion of choice! But their computers will know when to take action and make more profit than us if they control the systems in the exchange! ... The point I want to get is how do we value our coin on the black market without doing mass scale trading? Word from mouth to mouth and a common social awareness of all the prices of every commodity on the face of the planet?
Most likely future bitcoiners will arrive to crypto themselves, because they need it(cheap international remittance, deepdark web, backpage, gambling) or they just want to get rich. We don't really need promoters as much as we need users, who use bitcoin simply because it works(better than fiat).
It'll be hard to peg bitcoin to gold/silver just because of the fact that the exchanges are centralized weak points. Also Bitcoin offers a lot of utility at the moment, even more so than gold. Bitcoin only exists because of government Subsidies, that means we would need the government to exist for bitcoin to exist.
Why even bother with bitcoins, a resource based economy would be the greatest thing humanity has ever seen, but setting up such network isn't something that is done overnight, if ever. Until we have a resource based economy, I'll stick with my bitcoins.

You must be getting really scared lambie...
coming in here in another sock, and spreading false characterizations and falsely attempting to categorize ETH as nearly equal to BTC.. It would be laughable, if there weren't potential that some people may actually believe your spreading of baloney.
bitcoin is much more than limited in supply as your beanie baby comparison attempts to suggest... have you ever heard of a decentralized storage of value that is both secure and immutable - and the first ever digital currency that solved the double spend problem... without asking for permission... That is the amazingness of bitcoin in which Ethereum has not even come close to offering anything of similar value or in a way that can meaningfully compete with bitcoin.
Regarding the landlord taking bitcoin or any other attempt to spread the consumption of ETH - that is also no way near the liquidation options for bitcoin and even the secure storage of value of bitcoin as compared with the current downside volatility risk of quasi-centralized ETH...
>You must be getting really scared
As scared as I get when I pass up buying a lotto ticket, which is to say "not at all."
You're being retarded, JJG. Stop being retarded.
>bitcoin is much more than limited in supply [...] a decentralized storage of value that is both secure and immutable
Wow. So many nights a lay awake, whispering into my tear-soaked pillow "if only there was a way to store my value in a fashion that's both decentralized and immutable!"
>the first ever digital currency that solved the double spend problem... without asking for permission...
And Ford's Model T was the first commercially successful mass-produced car. Percentage of the car market currently held by Model T? Zero. Zero percent.
Because, like beetcoin, Model T's primitive, embryonic technology, failing to change with the times, is now a relic. A curiosity that boring old farts who can't afford real vintage cars own, God knows why they even bother. Sound familiar?
Oh, for plain old boring transportation, we got
ETH better cars now
>Regarding the landlord
Stop being a lazy sperglord and read before typing, k?
Other than Elmer's landlord (purportedly) accepting BTC, I know of exactly no landlords that do.
That said, Etherium is less than 2 years old. Tell me how many landlords were accepting BTC back in 2011.
>ETH is fuel for a vehicle
No. ETH simply has features which BTC does not. Think of BTC as a Model T, and ETH as a 911 with AC. Having air conditioning might be a pussy move for a 911, but having AC makes it no less of a car, and it'll still blow your Model T into the weeds with the AC blasting. Get it?
Everyone uses square or triangle wheels nowadays. Ford got it so wrong with Model T.

http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/65/The price of any commodity tends to gravitate toward the production cost. If the price is below cost, then production slows down. If the price is above cost, profit can be made by generating and selling more. At the same time, the increased production would increase the difficulty, pushing the cost of generating towards the price.
In later years, when new coin generation is a small percentage of the existing supply, market price will dictate the cost of production more than the other way around.
At the moment, generation effort is rapidly increasing, suggesting people are estimating the present value to be higher than the current cost of production.
... does that spell it out clearly enough for you?
Doesn't the fact that supply is fixed suggest that production cost follows the price?
... therein lies the magic, difficulty ratchets up cost and price ratchets up difficulty ... it's a virtuous circle from which the counterfeiters cannot escape.
Yes, but nothing ratches up price, so it is the driving factor, no?
People panic buying when they panic about missing out ratches up the price. The more people hear about the price ratching up, the more people start panic buying. That's the biggest driving factor.
What if it's price manipulation. As in putting a massive wall up to make bot algorithms kick in.

china seems unwilling to break 4000 CNY atm...
so it seems like we won't go to the moon just yet
maybe it's time for europe to take the lead for once.
I'm feeling a huge bear trap incoming at ~650$ ...
By the looks of things there is a huge entity doing weird stuff ... That entity does not seem to care about FIAT ... it also buys with the right and then sells with the left to itself just to keep buying "cheap 580$ coins" LOL!
So there might be a billionaire, The People's Republic of China, or some weird China bitcoin cartel.
We can't even touch $600, I'm feeling leveraged Chinese Seamen make dump within 5 hours.

Fun fact 1: JayJuanGee keeps all his bitcoin as an entry on an exchange's database while droning on about censorship resistance and the magic nature of the 1MB limit. He doesn't run a node, never has. He's also immune to the irony of this situation.
Fun fact 2: Ethereum is secured by miners, a more decentralized group of miners than Bitcoin too. Changes can't be made to it unless miners agree and run the software that makes the change, same as BTC. Claiming otherwise is spreading FUCD (whatever the fuck that is).
Fun fact 3: When/if Blockstream is able to drive the majority of transactions off chain to LN type payment networks... the well funded and well connected will be running lightning hubs and siphoning fees away from miners, read: centralization and lack of funding for mining security.
1. you don't know shit about other peoples hodlings.
2. Miners agree to any change Vitalik makes. Doesn't matter if it will end up breaking or making ethereum. Also rolling out huge changes to the protocol isn't something to be proud of. It shows the lack of immutability.
3. How do we measure the level of centralization or decentralization in anything. If LN is going to be harmful for the scaling of bitcoin then people aren't going to use it.

I agree it's not a measurable variable, nor even really relevant when a small number of megawatt burning warehouses provide the "decentralized" security.
There's a reason Blockstream/Core wants to make on-chain transactions expensive and uncompetitive... they're going to be selling you the medicine for your "disease".
In their arrogance they discount/ignore the fact that there are competitors to the Bitcoin network that will be gleefully sweeping up the transactions and investment that won't fit in an artificially crippled Bitcoin.
Cheers
The work that these warehouses do is the same everywhere. I don't think that these warehouses are the source of decentralization.
You're talking about crippling bitcoin by keeping the blocksize at 1mb? if so, isn't it good thing to keep spam out as long as we can? I mean bitcoin isn't even competitive with major institutions with its tiny fees.
Also blockchain.info was developing thunder network, which will be competing with LN. So users have a choice of blueberry or orange flavored medicine for their problems.

While Vitalik is very important to the project, rightly so IMO, he isn’t a god. There are some very smart people involved with a lot of value on the line with the incentive to vet what he says and does. You are aware that there are 7 different client implementations in 7 different languages: Go, C++, Python, Javascript, Java, Rust and Ruby? That the inflation schedule by % outstanding is infinitely decaying?
Your concern applies equally to Bitcoin Core, at what point does “I didn’t know segwit would do that” come into play?
I agree that Ethereum seems willing to take on more risk than Bitcoin, that can be a good and/or bad thing. It’s important not to get too religious or tribal about this stuff… it’s software. To be honest… I wouldn’t have diversified at all into ETH this year if it wasn’t for the 1MB4EVA crowd. Network effect is a powerful thing, not an all-powerful thing. Granted it’s played out fantastically for me financially, but I would have rather seen BTC grow gracefully without centrally planned production quotas. I'm more philosophically and emotionally tied to BTC. The small blockists forced my hand here. After playing around with ETH I realized it had some very real advantages… 15 second confirmations, ASIC proof mining, natively more capable with contracts and scripting. Pretending that it doesn’t exist as a competitor is a fool’s errand.
What's the orphan rate on 15 second confirmation times?
Can you trust 15 second confirmations?
Do people need contracts to be on the ledger?
How efficient are the "decentralized" contracts compared to "centralized" contracts offered by rootstock/conterparty?
Can Vitalik leave as the CEO of ethereum or is he stuck with it until he kills it?

The work that these warehouses do is the same everywhere. I don't think that these warehouses are the source of decentralization.
These warehouses create new blocks. Without them, Bitcoin doesn’t work. With control of them, Bitcoin can be effectively censored. The majority of them are located in China, under a government that has a fairly dim view of intellectual and financial freedom. You can stick your head in the sand about it, but that doesn’t make the issue go away. The only reason I raise it is because the Blockstream crowd likes to drape themselves in honorable cloak of decentralization, when the reality of the situation is in stark contrast.
The fact that there aren't that many warehouses that mine bitcoin, tells us that the word of someone trying to destroy bitcoin would be out in hours. Also this would be only possible if the chinese government actually had any knowledge on how to do harm to bitcoin with all of that hashing power. I bet the most that they can do is shut the miners down.
You're talking about crippling bitcoin by keeping the blocksize at 1mb? if so, isn't it good thing to keep spam out as long as we can? I mean bitcoin isn't even competitive with major institutions with its tiny fees.
Bitcoin isn’t competing with major financial institutions (yet). It’s competing with other cryptographic value transfer protocols. Keeping 1MB max is a competitive disadvantage, it also gives undue economic power to the devs with their hand on the maxblocksize lever. We now have a central bank of Bitcoin, and it’s called Core. Maxwell is the chairman of the board, not by election, but by social standing on IRC.
Also blockchain.info was developing thunder network, which will be competing with LN. So users have a choice of blueberry or orange flavored medicine for their problems.
This is all well and good. My only problem with payment channels is that they are having the playing field (intentionally) tilted in their favor. I support their competition with on-chain transactions in a free market scenario (miners choose their own block sizes and min fees).
You can't scale bitcoin by just increasing the blocksize. Wasn't bitcoin unlimited something similar to what you're proposing?

Obviously less than one 10 min BTC confirmation, but it's nice to have a continuum vs waiting 30 min for an unlucky Bitcoin block.
But there has got to be a lot of issues caused by the 15 second block times. It just sounds so unstable for me. Also doesn't that cause a lot of bloat?
Didn't lighting network promise instant off chain confirmations? Wouldn't that make eths 15 sec block timer even more stupid?
Do people need contracts to be on the ledger?

I'm not sure, but if they want to, they'll pay the gas costs.
But how cost efficient is ethereums contract platform compared to its competitors? Wouldn't it be better for a business to run its contracts on the cheapest platform to keep costs to a minimum?
Which would be pretty damn bad. Something that isn't so easy with a couple hundred thousand GPU's scattered across the world.
Because people don't start warehouses full of GPU's for a business.
I know mining is more accessible to home miners with GPU mining. But that doesn't change the fact that people are going to try to scale their operations. Does it matter if people have warehouses full of bitcoin asics or Graphics cards (bob who has one gpu hashing at ether can vote, but his vote still isn't as important as wing-wang-wongs warehouse)
Obviously there are technological and practical limits but I'm pretty sure that 1MB isn't the magic number. I like the concept of Bitcoin Unlimited, a decentralized method of arriving at a schelling point for maxblocksize. It doesn't just mean "Accepts Unlimited Block Size" if that's what you think/have been told.
I bet it isn't going to stay at 1mb forever.
The thing is no one knows what the magic number is.
Also why isn't there any support behind Bitcoin unlimted? It seems like a solid proposal, yet no miner is willing to get behind it. What's wrong with it?

Ethereum is going up solely due to big names and flashy news releases. Meanwhile there is no actual userbase backing it at all - nobody is supprting a 1.5bn market cap by running smart contracts. It's all traders and the 3,000,000 ETH per day of volume on Pologox.

What happens with the useless fiat dumped on the exchanges???Where is it reinvested?? ...
Because if Fiat will devalue drastically on a global scale ... the exchanges will not have any leverage!I don't think they will allow themselves being left holding the bag ....
who hold enough fiat to devalue it, won't buy bitcoin and people don't need bitcoin enough for fiat to be devalued. Only people who need bitcoin are prostitutes, drug dealers and inmates. We have that going for us, which is nice. However if bitcoin exists long enough, fiat is guaranteed to be devalued because of bitcoin. But currently bitcoin is for the under-serviced.

Even if we get some code for a hard fork this year, what happens when the miners want to run with it, but the nodes won't budge? (Again.) Is that just the mechanism doin' it's thing?
They could just copy/paste some classic code or bitpays adaptive block size today and have it running by tomorrow. And if they do this in secret you'll have a Dr. Merkwürdigliebe scenario.
What I worry about is if a safe LN is 2-4 years away. And we're too hung up about who said what to actually allow the 1MB cap to be safely lifted in the meantime.
Imagine a world with indecisive types who'd prefer maybe not to see a hf ever. Be as optimistic as you can. Would we have
inevitably crippled Bitcoin?
That will only happen if everyone bows down to fear mongering idiots. Like with Brexit or Donald Trump. Surely there are no such people in Bitcoin.
To be continued then...
Is politics really a fitting analog here tho, I wonder. It's a tech community, after all. A tyranny of a majority of Chinese mines doesn't sit square with me either.
Proper representative democracy here is what we have now, arguably; informally elected code-leaders, not putting every foundational vote before Joe miner. Innit?
What about Sybil attack?
I bet if the miners manage to gather the required hasing power, gathering the required node count shouldn't be an issue.

It is true that the supply will be cut in half but that does not guarantee an immediate doubling of price.
Actually, the price has already seen a very healthy increase over the last 1-2 months and further increase could be spread out in days, weeks, months, years to come.
Your sources are idiots for saying "it will double for sure" in 3 days.
I'd give it about 4 years for the halving to price in properly.

No. If anything, it would do the just the opposite, introduce an *inflationary* scenario. It is supposed to stimulate *buying*, and disincentivize "delayed gratification," e.g. keeping money in a bank.
Please take Econ 101 or read a book.
If a central bank charges negative interest rates, doesn't that mean the issued money ends up where it was created? Thus removing it from the economy. That doesn't change the fact that the issuance of new money is way higher than the burning of old money.
Also a farty idea, but banks should pay us for lending money if they charge negative interest. It would speed up the inevitable.

I think that you are writing passed the point that is being made here by respawn2, and that is the incentive that is attempting to be created to spend rather than save... In that regard, it should be clear that if the fed had continued to lower and to lower and to lower interest rates in order to create incentives for spending in the economy... after they go to zero, then there is no where to go except to negative... it's about attempting to create certain incentives on a macro level, while seeming to lose sight regarding the damaging nature of the whole fiat system that is creating weird incentives and an artificial pump that becomes more and more likely to implode the more that it seems to fuck more and more regular people around, and in the mean time while better asset (value) preservation systems exist, such as bitcoin.
I get that the reasoning behind negative interest rates are to make people spend their money rather than save it.
But if this trend continues, will we eventually see -10% or higher interest rates? At what point does a commoner realize that they are being fucked over big time by a system that should have been replaced ages ago?

Nonetheless, Bitcoin seems to continue hold a pretty decent place in this whole scheme of things.... At some point, there may be some other complementary systems to bitcoin, but a lot of us who already know and study bitcoin, should feel really excited about bitcoin when we are also seeing the folding and unfolding of other world developments, including the various financial systems. I personally don't think that it would be good for anyone, including bitcoin holders, if there were a total financial system implosion, but some of the weird and ongoing subtle and camouflaged collapses of various fiat systems seems much more conducive to the prospering of bitcoin.
I'd rather find that we would switch from one financial system to another seamlessly trough adoption. People who come to the party prepared, don't have anything to lose. We don't even need end-point users to adopt anything new, just the financial institutions.
JJG, can you speculate a scenario where Russians instead of trying to ban bitcoin, would start hoarding bitcoin. Also what are the odds of any country publicly announcing that they are hoarding bitcoins? Also aren't governments the biggest institutions that are currently interested in bitcoin?

JJG, can you speculate a scenario where Russians instead of trying to ban bitcoin, would start hoarding bitcoin.
I am not sure whether I understand the political context sufficiently in order to be very accurate. I think that now, Russian officials are kind of skeptical of bitcoin and even having misconceptions that it is a kind of USA product; however, yeah, there could be scenarios in which they recognize bitcoin as a possible means to undermine the USD, which seems like it would be a more accurate assessment to consider Bitcoin as a competitor to the USD rather than some kind of USA invention.
Also what are the odds of any country publicly announcing that they are hoarding bitcoins?
I think that your questions are very good, and in order to come up with such questions, you have probably thought through some of these various scenarios.
To me it does not seem that any government would announce that they are hoarding bitcoins, unless they have already invested considerably into bitcoin and then are attempting to cause a pumping effect by such announcement. Sure, those kinds of scenarios could play out in the future, but it seems that we are quite a ways from such a scenario playing out. On the other hand, the seeming assumption of the question seems to be correct that sometimes it may take only a few influential persons within a government system to cause by persuasion some changes in policy and risk taking in terms of adopting and/or hoarding bitcoins. I do recall that there has been some discussions of these kinds of potentialities in some smaller governments, including Cypress and Barbados, and probably there have been some other areas in which bitcoin had been given some serious attention... but yeah, seems like the more likely scenario would be secret hoarding rather than public hoarding.
It only takes one Putin to undermine USD by buying bitcoins.
Also aren't governments the biggest institutions that are currently interested in bitcoin?
I think that frequently a large and overwhelming majority of government officials do not recognize potentiality in bitcoin, so they are frequently considering ways to compete against it rather than somehow playing into the bitcoin infrastructure. Sure there are some exceptional government officials, but so far they are likely rare and not influential in terms of causing radical bitcoin adoption within their respective governments.
Governments are the biggest institutions followed by banks, that are interested in bitcoin. I'm not talking about individual officials, rather in a much broader perspective. Then again how is it even possible to measure institutional interest in something.
I bet my excel sheets don't give as good of insight of my financials as yours do, but now I have way better overview of my financials thanks to it. I'm working on improving it, it seems that there are way more possibilities with excel than my mind can comprehend, thanks again for that.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still going sideways 2 days after halving non-event.
Is anyone surprised? It's like a solstice. The weather doesn't radically change overnight. Even a beanie baby should be able to see that.
If the amount of sunshine were permanently cut in half by 50% overnight, the weather would change radically.
