It's really a shame for Russia not being able to stop doping within it's sporting communities.

Legalizing doping would increase unhealthy competition as countries would start manufacturing super drugs for themselves. It would be really difficult for less advanced countries in competing with the pharmaceutical technology.

There's also been issues of the sporting regulations banning a certain drug just before the event and failing the drug users for the traces that has been on their body before the ban. For it, every drug should have a 10 years grace period after the decision of ban before testing for it's presence in athletes.

Hello guys,

I have just one  question. I am collecting some information about Bitcoin Scalability for my school work. Can please someboy write me all methods which are considered as Bitcoin scalability solutions ? when I try to google it everything what I found is:
- Hard Fork - change block size
- Lightning Network
- Sharding

Is there any other methods which might solve the bitcoin scalability problem ?

Thank you.  

- Hard Fork - change block size
Bitcoincash is doing that. Seems like its not the ultimate solution. That would be an option for bitcoin too but we still need to look for better alternative.
Lightning network. A good solution for localized networks. But they may pose a threat to mining and industry.
Sharding, Let Ethereum successfully implement it. There are many things that could go wrong here.

Transaction fees would again be the limiting factor for bitcoin price and in my opinion, $20K is the limit till which bitcoin could rise safely. Anything above that would discourage transactions as users would be paying more in fees. New technologies like Lightning network might change that in future but there's no place for them in 2020.
1784  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC rally of $9,000 ain’t enough? on: December 15, 2019, 05:42:31 PM
Let's see first if we can break the $9k barrier prior to the end of the year. The thing is that we have seen many times in the past that we thought we're already in the bullish/bearish pattern, however, the market moves in the opposite direction. Which only means  that the market price is really hard to predict, no matter what this so called experts are telling us.

not possible to have $9k price by year end. unless we all sell that high.  it may even go below $6800 tomorrow because it seem to break the support.  if $6500 will also be breaks then expect the $3k.  jesus, no christmas this year. the popular analyst is right this bearish pattern will once again try to break the $3k support. lucky are the ones who figured to exit at $9,000.

I also do not believe that it can reach $9000 at this point of time we are barely 15 days before the end of the year and I don't see big news that will have an impact on the price to go up to that level, but we have seen how the price moves with just one whale or group of whales, but it's a good way to end the year if we can reach $9000 before the year ends.

Bitcoin prices would probably remain low till February or till the Chinese new year. Can't expect anything above $8K on that time. But it would start to increase after that as bitcoin nears the next halving. I believe bitcoin price would be well above $10K around may 2020.

Socialists is a vague word. In a broad sense every modern government are socialist.
Socialism differs from communism basically in the matter of ownership and religion.
Nazi party was certainly a socialist party by work, Volkswagen is an example of the government delivering for the welfare of people.

There are many things here that could go wrong.
For an example, the supply and demand needs to transfer money from one country to another. There's no way to move large amount of money without the consent of the governments involved. Doing it illegally would be busted regularly. And then comes the security of the merchants. For most of countries, you need to be licensed to operate financial related tasks.
1787  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long will existing encryption last? on: December 15, 2019, 04:49:05 PM
The current encryption technology is going to last less than what we predicted before.
Bitcoin's encryption and private keys would be vulnerable by the year 2030.
But only the chief projects working on it would achieve that feat and lets hope none of them would ever attack bitcoin.
1788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency? on: December 14, 2019, 04:05:27 PM
I am one of them. I'm converting half of my savings into crypto but I limit my investments into popular cryptos and IEOs from trusted exchanges. I resist selling for small price changes and haven't had a loss for last 6 months though the prices of crypto decreased in the time.
1789  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin, Spouses and Divorce on: December 14, 2019, 03:48:54 PM
I'm having a similar situation here. I'm so into crypto that my girlfriend thinks I'm not giving her enough time. She knows about my crypto involvement and she's Okay with it if I stay away from gambling. And she founds out everytime I lose high amount in gambling. It's getting difficult for me to balance my job, crypto and girlfriend all at a time. I just hope she won't fall for any other.

British politics is being stuck with Brexit for too long. They should at least move.
People are fed up with this stand still. Britain has seen a lot worse situations, this would certainly pass.

Things are not going good for VeChain and the results are displayed on the price. VeChain was supposed to be the coin for China but lost it's major project and now struggles with such blunders rather than any good news. It's getting difficult for VeChain to ever attain back it's ATH.
1792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: So are we waiting for Ethereum 2.0 to take full effect in 2030? on: December 13, 2019, 04:45:13 PM
If ethereum is to hold the 2.0 to 2030, it would be dead before that. Crypto market is rapidly changing and the ones that are not capable of adopting with the changing preference of the market, they'd be dead.
1793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: A Planet-to-Planet Electronic Cash System on: December 13, 2019, 04:34:24 PM

The best thing about bitcoin is no one control it and everyone does.  This makes it a perfect value to trade between planets. Extra-terrestrial bodies are rich in untapped minerals and ores and they'd have a good trade for human things from earth.
But for that we'd need internet in the Mars and be available to every human settlements.
Bitcoin could even be the official currency of the mars.
1794  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Trust Libra Coin With Your Money? on: December 13, 2019, 11:03:19 AM
I might not need to convert my money to libra ever. I'm not an advertiser on the Facebook platform and I have plenty of stablecoins and asset backed coins to trade with. There are no direct benefits of using Libra. They would be as good as bonga tokens from the bongacam.
1795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FEAR OF DUMPING on: December 13, 2019, 11:00:44 AM
The fear of dumping often makes the project team fear or avoid the payment of hunters until sometimes after the exchange listing. I wonder why the team make themselves restless on an easy thing like that when they can easily conduct their bounty with bitcoin or ethereum for payment. That will safe them of the fear that the bounty hunter will dump after the exchange listing.

A real project focuses on to achieve their roadmap. A dumping of 5% of their token won't make any difference. Exchange listing is one of the checkpoint in the roadmap.
The team really has no time watching at the coin price movement if they are really dedicated to deliver what they have stated they would.

I saw the similar statistics in relation to gun laws and there's completely no correlation. Of course in the countries where it's harder to get a gun there will be less deaths from firearms but total murder rates are related to culture not firearm access.

Sometimes even in a very non-violent country with low gun ownership somebody will go on killing spree like Anders Breivik in Norway.

Very true. But a mentally unstable killer with a gun would be able to kill more people than a mentally unstable killer with knife.
And For mentally unstable people having the concise to kill people is related to culture.

1798  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone else notice that when share market down, crypto price goes up? on: December 12, 2019, 01:05:34 PM
Seems like there are no prominent direct relation between stock market and crypto market as both of them are to some extent speculative. Real estate on the other hand has some relation to both crypto and stocks and on a season of real estate buying and selling, which is Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb here, the crypto and stocks dips low.
1799  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really still decentralized?? on: December 12, 2019, 12:33:01 PM
After the years in trading Bitcoin it came more and more clear to me that Bitcoin is technically not decentralized anymore... its mainly owned by huge mining farms or early adopters who are able to manipulate the market at will, many exchanges playing with Bitcoin and Altcoins by making fools out of the normal Joe who wants to enter the Crypto world, i know many here will think that you should be ready and get informed before taking any step into the crypto world, but does it not bother anyone that some people are enriching them self by kicking the crap out of your wallets??


Bitcoin Mining is dead unless you own a mining farm with the necessary hashrate, again only big companies having access to Bitcoin!!!


What is your thought about this??

There's been a lot of discussion about it in the past.
Bitcoin is one of the most decentralized currency ever. People may argue large amount of bitcoin is hold by limited individuals and companies and earned by large mining farms. But it's distribution is still much more decentralized than any other currency.
A context, 26 richest people owns more than rest of population

1800  Economy / Economics / Re: Can online platforms like Youtube and Facebook really be decentralized? on: December 12, 2019, 09:50:20 AM
Of course they could and there has already been a decentralized alternative for both of them. But the problem with decentralized platform is how to make it a safe place for different group of people and stop illegal contents and save copyright claims. Monitoring would be difficult and lengthy, if we speed up, there could be content war between different group of people, countries, political ideas and parties.
