Do I have to change to the folder of where I install my bitcoin core to use the command? Sorry I'm not familiar with cmd.

Yep, you've to navigate directory to the folder where the wallet is installed before running the command above. I'm not a bitcoincore user, looks like it's C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin [1]
Try to check it manually too. If it is true then the command prompt will be,

cd C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin

Here is a good parable.
Given your example of 1 billion users at 10 addresses each:

There are 2^160 or about 1,460,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible addresses
In your scenario, 1,000,000,000 people are using 10 addresses each for a total of 10,000,000,000 possible addresses
10,000,000,000 / 2^160 should yield the probability of a collision occurring
10,000,000,000 / 2^160 = 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000684

So the chances of a collision occurring in your scenario are approximately 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000684%

Possibility increases drastically when there is divine intervention. Wink

If you'll ask me, even I, I might sell those if I saw it went up to $50 or $100 earlier in those years.

Honestly me too, lol.
Getting to a price of $50 per unit is a particularly dramatic mental struggle given that there isn't much reference to bitcoin's potential for the next 10 years to encourage someone to HODLing.

However by now, this story has become some of the references anyone today has to hold onto bitcoin any longer if they're looking for the price.
1304  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need to better understand what market cap means on: February 20, 2023, 08:54:02 AM

I understand that this refers to ALL tokens in circulation, meaning all tokens that are not locked, burnt, etc.
Yes that's right, just those two, nothing else.

Quote
If I understand correctly, does this mean that a token that is not locked, whose purpose is for marketing and not for liquidity, still enters into the calculation of the market cap?
Liquidity token can also be withdrawn from the liquidity pool, so it is included in the circulation supply.

Quote
My second question is this: How is the token price calculated?

On CEXs, I suppose it's the law of supply and demand, so it must be the price of the last buyer?

But on DEXs, how is it defined?
Basically selling/buying at the last price on any exchange is the current price as far as the price is publicly displayed. Price aggregators such as CMC calculate the average of the transaction prices of all the exchanges they monitor.

Quote
Naturally, the price of the crypto will drop to $0.5, right?
No, current rates still apply. Fixed prices are affected by supply and demand, not supply.

You're one of the valuable contributors to the sustainability of the forum's activities, especially for exchange and loan services. You deserve this honorary rank.

Congrats shasan  Cool



I came here besides saying that, is just curious after looking at pictures, you have "most recognized" 181st, what is means?.
And how calculate that?, and what factors are considered being "most recognized"?

Best Regard,

It can also mean "most known", I think it was generated using the parameter of response or mention or something else. The more responses you get or your name is called, the higher your points in this category.

Imo that is the way they distribute their custom tokens apart from giving them out for free on the faucet, they can also take all of your deposit due to delays isn't it (1st risk)? I think this is definitely a new kind of game over an investment scheme. They explain the game and how you risk losing.
Of course with their own token they can guarantee as much as they can even with 100k returns, for example by adopting a stable (printable) token way. After all, they acknowledge that their token is inflationary (2nd risk).

Investment, in order to take a profit, needs several ways and strategies to minimize as many risks as possible, not done at any time the passion arises or based on random desires without planning. I see you did the same thing in 2018 (although with a percentage of less capital) and I think you don't learn from the 1st mistake. Even though you don't have the same fate as before, making mistakes several times since the beginning can make people reluctant to return to space and start talking things that aren't understood to others about Bitcoin.
1310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of holding Bitcoin in time of crisis on: February 19, 2023, 03:49:44 AM
If it is a country with record high inflation like Venezuela or Zimbabwe...then it is clear that holding bitcoins is much better than fiat money.

It was an internal crisis specifically due to some turmoil, I'd suggest otherwise with preference that their crisis is likely to be longer and won't follow the pattern of global economic recovery. In this kind of condition, I think people need more money today, not savings for the next few years. Use bitcoin for main income and daily needs spending instead of their onw fiat.

Afaik, not enough. The user must previously change the access permission,
Android has limited ability to preview the contents of this kind of message. Sometimes attackers also insert backside links that take you to certain trap sites. The best advice is don't bother clicking on any links, just delete them.
1312  Economy / Exchanges / Re: why this wallet address is not showing ? on: February 19, 2023, 03:06:29 AM
The title is a bit ambiguous, all addresses and transactions will be visible in the explorer and I think is enough as a way of verifying for simple cases.
If it comes from Binance, some people may not need proof of ownership from binance. Most explorerr sites and Binance product apps have labeled almost all the addresses under their control. It is impossible for Binance to send you bitcoin from your deposit address.

or until the government decided to close all gas stations.

Or with a number of policies and offers that frankly provide many advantages for old car owners to exchange for new EVs, as Thailand has done which seems to be targeting 30% of vehicle production to be EVs in the next 8 years, (2030):

  • sales of EV units at subsidized prices[1];
  • purchase excise tax incentive package[2].

I also thinking about several steps that the government can take until the target is met:
  • Subsidized charging costs at fuel stations.
  • The cost of maintenance and purchase of spare parts in the official workshop.
  • tax exemption for several years.

Just wondering if "investigation will be 6 months" is the default answer for any case of suspension or is it on a case by case basis initial investigation? Tbh, this kind of verdict would only encourage users to make public accusations on the fly instead of solving them quietly.

Each digit of the month represents 30 days of tedious waiting for the average guy.
1316  Economy / Economics / Re: Lebanese depositors smash up, burn Beirut banks on: February 18, 2023, 02:44:02 PM
It's a difficult challenge for the Lebanese, considering the political situation and leadership that is crumbling while the banks can only waiting for the settlement policy. It is time to make a simultaneous transition to an anti-policy currency, at least stop compromising people's rights until the situation returns to normal. However, this has the potential to cause a new, bigger disaster besides the people's financial problems, because of their crisis, I think it will be difficult to reach an endpoint.

Hello everyone!

BTCC was BTCChina before, but we've revamped our brand to reflect who we are.
Does that mean it's under completely different management? I see that the official account associated with this exchange is BTCC_Official[1], so what happened to that account? It would be better if you open a new (single) announcement thread if planning to be a bit longer here.


This is the largest crypto forum in the world though so few of the members here have heard of you!!!
I think they were here before and focused more on the collectibles business[2].

1320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen in a deflationary hoarding scenario? on: February 17, 2023, 07:37:19 AM
You mean hoarding will cause the trading volume to become less and less but with super extreme volatility. Even if the bubble bursts, bitcoin will return to a position where volatility is normal. The effect that is likely to be seen is the rotation of individual financial status globally, such as the shitcoin hype where many newly rich people emerge. But this is an almost impossible scenario.
