the only inflation in bitcoin is related to the supply which keep increase up to 2140, but from 2030 you can already avoid counting that

other than that bitcoin incentivate hoarding which make deflation possible, and inflation not so much, which is the reason why the value is increased

but excessive hoarding is not good either, because people will use less and less bitcoin, waiting for a better value

which is also stupid, you don't need any real maintanance for the miners, they are operative 24/7 there is no baby sitting, just cleaning every 3 months, which can be done in few hours with an air compressors

basically that is a fee that steal your profit, this si why cloud are scam even if they look legit, don't cloud minig buy your gear and do mining yourself or you will never roi

there is also this one  if viabtc is saturated https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTx, but if you are not a bitmain supporter or hate their decision about mining, then don't use it

anyway i've noticed that miners will confirm very high fee transaction regardless if these transaction meet the average or minimum fee needed, i've done some test with my transaction, and they always get confirmed

for example a 900 bytes TX that now would require 320k satoshi to be confirmed, will be confirmed with 200k easily

you can still earn good without having very cheap electricity, just take any calculator and you will see that the roi time is not that bad now with this value of bitcoin

with the possibility of bitcoin increase even more the profit will remain high for a long time, the diff won't catch it soon enough

true, but they can hinder the adoption, in many way, by stopping local exchange or closing your bank account, or saying shit like "I put you in jail if i caught you usign bitcoin", some country also do this actually

but i think it would be better for them if they embrance bitcoin, and regulate it like japan did, they would receive a better source of income via additional taxing

not only faster but better, i still have nightmare about paypal closing or blocking your funds for absolute no real reason, or because you didn't sent feedback on the guy on ebay or he claim that the item didn't arrive and bullshit like that

i only use payal to buy stuff not to sell anymore, unless i'm selling very small thing that are almost worthless, no chargeback is another plus of bitcoin, and i use it for this reason

first 50k bitcoin is nothing, it can't damage the market in any way

remember the 100k+ hacked on bitfinex, these coins didn't destroy the market at all, 50k is a joke

second how do you know that the anti-segwit hold more bitcoin? this is just random assumption to me

the value certainly can't get lower than that anymore, at worse $2k is the bottom

on august 1 i see or stagnation after a pump and dump or a big pump

tough call, because amazon currently don't even accept paypal, they ahve their own policy, and they like to have a regulated payment method, and sadly bitcoin isn't the case for now, at least not in all country accepted by amazon

also amazon report everything to fiscal agent, and with bitcoin would be a problem to track everything, do they even know how the blockchain work?

for now you cna use purse.io to buy on amazon or all4btc, both work good, just a bit slow

how about chrome extentions, like browsec dotvpn? are those china releated also? otherwise you can make your own vpn with a proxy plus virtual machine or simply in your host

probably yes, but it's tricky, because it's a combination of segwith which require 95% and 2mb hard fork, and from my understanding some miners don't like that the hard fork it's done after the activation in segwit2x...

then you have the UASF users that don't like miners, and don't like the fact that miners are agianst the second part of activation of segwit2x, the hard fork of 2mb, than the core team which is not pro all this

ah soap opera indeed

i don't think so, ETH is not even usable now, while bitcoin is accepted everywhere, current bitcoin problem is only the outrageous high fee, after segwit2x will be activated, you will get a faster adoption than this

ETH has nothign over bitcoin at the moment, besides very fast confirmation, but this will be solved too in bitcoin with LN, i still like that other currency will be adopted in the future, will help the crypto scene to get more recognized

availability of what? products? in a p2p network you just connect to other servers and you are done, not any additional cost is needed

the bad thing is that the price of the item you want to purchase are all a bit off, everyone just set his own random value for the item he want to sell

and most of the time i can't find anything on open bazar

is this like litecoin where the time needed for the activation must match the time of the whole time of the diff retarget? i mean the current percentage must remain there for a tiem frame of two weeks right?

you either don't use bitcoin to buy small stuff like a cofee, or you do it by losing money in the fee, or if you are lucky you can pay lower fee and use an accelerator if not beyond limit

usually the merchants will wait for 6 confirmations, so no double spend, but maybe this can prove me wrong https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115897.20

uh there is not such thing as "natural posting", as long as your post are not spam you can post as many as you want, usually the one who want to do "natural posting" are the one who are afraid of getting banned from the campaign and are the one who would spam more than the other

i don't use bitcoin card, i find that bitcoin should be simply used like a bank account, from your wallet, mobile or not

but if i were to choose something that should be improved, would be the fee, most of those card have high monthly fee, and they are expensive

bitcoin already have high fee, if you add the fee of these cards, you will kill your own portfolio

good, but i think i can post some of the post of the next week, this week already, since the payment is at half of the week, and i'm unable from tuesday to post, i'll try to cover the week anyway, i don't want to lose the earning

is there any problem if i don't post for one week? i need to solve a personal problem in real life, and i'll not be able to post the next week

the only possible big threat are the one created by the miners with their dirty move to go with creating their own alt, or doing 51% if they don't like the current segwit activation etc...

this is more dangerous than anything else, other things, can't really stop bitcoin, like government, altcoin taking over bitcoin etc...price also can't fall to 1 usd like many newbie believe, there is no way this will happen

everyone who invested above certain threshold will not sell his coin at loss, just think about that and you should not worry anymore about the value


not only that but exchange can stop any serious big amount of money temporarely, so you can't sell easily your coin, also with the current power of computer you can't crask the private key, in any way, not even with quantum computer actually

segwit will be activated at that point, i suspect the value will increase, there is a very tiny chance that it will tank, and i see no reason really why this should happen....


probably higher, it's not different than when everyone was predicting that after the halving the price would be higher, and in fact we had a better value

some prediction are really easy to spot, this is one of those, the value now already climbed back to the previou point, investors aren't stupid
