The bitcoin price will be $500-800 within 3 months. That is mainly due to the expection of halving.

Of the existing coins, XMR is the most developed.

Could you break down how its more developed over other cryptonote coins?

There are new features coming out of the Monero constantly. The developers are known to the community.

The price is over $450 now. It is better not to sell it. The price will be more than $500 in the next few months.

There are indications that the Dash (x11) can be mined by ASIC. I used to think Dash is good, not any more.

I do not understand why the criminals ask for bitcoin. bitcoin is traceable. Why not use Monero? It is anonymous.

i think the best solution would be to code something in the core that rejects a block if it has no transactions.

this way the pools that mine empty blocks get NO REWARDS.



I agree with this proposal. The resource in bitcoin is limited, we have to use it properly.

But what is the lowest limit of the acceptable block, 10 transactions or 50 transaction?

we don't need 8 giga ever, there are currently theoretically, optimizations that can guarantee us more tx per sec than the average known

i think none has read this it seems https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability

Real scaling will happen with regional favored altcoins.

What I mean is West Africa will embrace one alt coin, South America another, etc. and most transactions in those regions will be done with those alt coins, with bitcoin acting in similar fashion as USD currently acts on the world market.

That's what I see happening.

And no, none of the current alt-coins look to me like they have a shot at being adopted by a particular region of the world.

I suspect these alt-coins will have a shorter block time making them easier to use in point of sale transactions and use a proof of stake method of keeping the mining in the region where they are primarily used.

There used to be numerous country coins, like the Icelandic coins, Malta coins. These coins are not popular now. Most died. Digital coin is international.

Braendgaard described New York-based media company Vice Motherboard’s report entitled “One Third of Kenyans Now Have a Bitcoin Wallet” written by contributor Daniel Stuckey an “insane invention.” To be fair however, a section of Vice Motherboard’s article read:

“Thanks to bitcoin, it’s about to become a lot easier to move money in Africa. M-Pesa, a successful mobile money platform in Sub-Saharan Africa, is embracing bitcoin. The service will give rise to transactions with negligible fees (~$0.04), and could dramatically slash revenues of existing money transfer services like Moneygram, Western-Union and Paypal.”

How often do they use the bitcoin if 1/3 of them have bitcoin wallet?

The $12 swing is just 3%. It is not too volatile in the bitcoin trading world. So there is no need to worry about it.

If you start with 0.1, that will attract lots of attentions, the final price could be well over 0.16. If you start too high, nobody will be interested.

Bitcoin is get accepted in on line shopping gradually. At the current rate, 20% of all online shopping will accept it within 10 years.
