Is the poll still a thing?

Suggestion:

When will Bitcoin price reach $1M/BTC?

   -- Before 2025
   -- 2025 ~ 2029

   -- 2029 ~ 2033   <--- My vote <-- I vote that to

   -- After 2033
   -- Never

agreed with you

Totally exaggerated or something unrealistic and this is why having those kind of numbers would really be making tons of people do laugh on what this person is really that predicting. Its not really that bad on being

optimistic but on the time that you are already saying or mentioning numbers which arent that already that realistic at all then expect that there would really be tons of people who would really be laughing behind
with those price predictions. Come to think or remember into those days where McAfee did really make out some prediction having million per coin which come to think that he's been saying that it could happen anytime soon and did really even make out some claims that he would really be eating his own dick on national television.

if not, I will eat my dick on national television.
https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/887024683379544065?lang=en

Wondering if these fellas had the same line of words or something that they would really like to bet on.  Cheesy
predictions are just predictions, Michael Saylor seems to be just guessing and not very realistic. Never mind reaching $5 million now, reaching a new ATH is the most awaited thing or at least breaking the price of $100k is already new history for Bitcoin.
The numbers mentioned that are too big are unrealistic and seem to make us all laugh. But who knows what the situation with bitcoin will be when all the bitcoins have been mined, the price will certainly be higher.

Actually btc did break 100k on coinable due to a fat fingered buy.

As a guy that mines to make bank I can tell you we are entering the must rally pre halving stage  as Oct 2023 to April 2024 is a short time.

Miners are very much on the ropes.  todays price is okay for now but would knock out 1/2 to 2/3 of the miners in April of 2024.

I think we will begin a relief rally to 35-40k this year and 40-49k Jan to April next year.

Hello,

Do you think is a scam?

As philipma said, it is 100% a scam. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

OP, can you please edit your message and remove their link ? We should not be contributing to the referencing of this link.

Also when a newbie with 1 post asks that question it is basically 99% shot it is a scam.

So a piece of gear that has the hash power of 10 s19 j pros and burns 650 watts vs 30000 watts

and it also has the hash power of 44 L7's and burns 650 watts versus 132,000 watts.

and it is cheap price. = Scam!!

This is related to the economy of signature campaigns. I will not scam you for $500 because my account can generate an income of $800 per month, but whenever the signature campaigns stop, you will find legendary members scamming for $200, and the truest example of this is @yogg[2] Cold Keys scam[3]

This is true. Now we know some positive sides of the signature campaigns as well. People usually have a bad idea of the signature campaign because it generates spam all over the forum. When someone scams others for $200, they do not care about their reputation anymore because they know they cannot make money with this account anymore.

If we talk about the forum you mentioned, I have checked it, and it does not look good. I don't know why. Most questions had one answer, and some others had no answers. I guess it's not that much crowded.

THAT may be the best post in the entire thread. The idea that if your account has a value you won't be as likely to scam is true and simple but accurate.

Here is a guy that tried to scam today

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469209.msg62945083#msg62945083

the op is a 0 merit 1 post newbie with nothing to lose if he pulls his scam off.
3325  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin October Month Performance on: October 04, 2023, 05:13:43 PM
What do you think?
How much will Bitcoin pump this October? 👀
Comment Your opinion ⬇️
Perhaps speculation, analysis, graphs, percentages and development of Bitcoin in October and 2023, there are various speculations & predictions that we can see from many Bitcoin experts currently circulating, but some of the responses I've read from Bitcoin experts, not many of them consider the percent% that is happening right now, they are more focused on the halving that might happen.

There are many users currently involved in the world of Bitcoin who no longer trade Bitcoin in the short term, they prefer to do it long term with a predetermined time, Overall, if you look at Bitcoin for October, it could reach the 2.30% level if that happens, but we'll see.

I still say and continue to say. Miners are in dire need of a pressure relief rally. We set the floor price for BTC. if we are to toss 2020 cycle due to covid 19 and china kicking miners out of china we need to look at the 2016 cycle.

We had a long mining pressure pre rally from 2015 to 2016 ½ ing

Coins got to 66% of the ATH right up to and  at the ½ ing in 2016  that was a move from about 400 usd to 700 usd

we would need to move from 27000 to 45,000/50,000 by April 1 2024.

the 2015 oct month we did 33%. if we do that we go from 27,000 to 36,000

So I think we get to 36,000 give or take 2,000 this month's end.
3326  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Heating a Space via Mining on: October 04, 2023, 05:03:29 PM
Long overdue update. 

I ended up heating the office trailer for 2 winters (2014 and 2015) using miners.  First winter was Rock Boxes second winter was Spoondoolies Jacksons. 

With the power of HODL it was well worth doing compared to space heaters.

I remember those Rockminers. They were nice quiet units.
3327  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASICRUN AR1 is a scam on: October 04, 2023, 04:06:40 PM
Hello,

have you seen this asic?

https://asicrunom/. . note I killed the link

The power is very high.

Do you think is a scam?

Thanks.

No machine mines BTC and doge it is a scam.  Also if I built and owned these I would just mine and get rich I would not sell them.

They claim 1000 th and 650 watts for btc which is 0.65 watts a th which is 25x better than anyone else.

they also say 400gh for ltc/doge at 650 watts which is so much better than the best L7 it is impossible.
3328  Economy / Economics / Re: Early Retirement [Pros and Cons] on: October 04, 2023, 07:46:17 AM
Reading the snippet of the article kind of screams people that opt for early retirement are people that are just in need of a good vacation to get their batteries recharged for a new challenge and not that they needed to retire...am pretty sure such people miss the sense of belonging, the sense of being a team player that is required to do their part of a project to progress otherwise when that phone rings less, your friends/colleagues get too busy for you such that you seeing people less can affect your psychology and want you to get back working says retirement isn't for you.

But if you got into the job market for money and get to have it, I see no reason to stick around when you can spend this time with family and maybe run your own business with your own term's.

But that would be semi retired not retired.

My wife and I are 66 and 67. She retired in 2012 at 55 after working at 1 job for 33 years.

I got my  pension last year. But I mine and make money in sales ands I am self employed for years.

I make my own hours. I would find it impossible to work 5 days a week 8 hours a day.  but 2 or 3 hours every day via internet and some trips to the mine 2-4 times a month I will likely do for years to come.

I like the work yet I also have a lot of time to spend with the wife.

This Sunday we went to the beach on the Jersey shore. Walked for 75 minutes. Then went to a restaurant ate German food then drove to Six flags great adventure and went to 3 shows of fright Fest along with a few rides,  A long exciting day.

Saturday it rained like mad we slept in . Played  for a few hours ate a brunch, The watched some old movies. I did some mining work on line. It is a good life as we no longer have the rat race to deal with.
3329  Economy / Speculation / Re: Even Seasoned Analysts Can Get it Wrong on: October 04, 2023, 04:24:53 AM
It seems that the OP has discovered America. Of course the analysts fail. All of them. If they could predict price behaviour consistently they would have made fortunes, as philipma1957 says and they would be on their private island in the caribbean sunning themselves, not working making predictions.

The clearest proof is that this cycle not a single fucking analyst has been able to get the peak of the bitcoin price right, which was $69,000. All predictions were for higher prices.

Yeah you are correct. I am still waiting on my 70k number to show up. 😀.

I will predict the following we will get a miner relief rally.

Before April 1st. I am thinking we get close to 36k for oct 31 40k by Jan 1 and very near 50k by April 1.

Lets see how good I do.
3330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the ultimate shitcoin for having a useless mining algorithm. on: October 04, 2023, 04:04:27 AM
Bitcoin's mining algorithm was never designed to advance science. This is because Satoshi lacked the foresight to realize that if Bitcoin got big (which it did), then maybe the mining should be put to good use. Or maybe Satoshi simply lacked the time and resources needed to come up with a scientific mining algorithm (because it is hard, so I don't really blame him). Right now, Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies are shitcoins because they have mining algorithms that were never designed to advance science and this is because the cryptocurrency sector is really shitty. They worship Sam Bankman Fried and love being scammed and scamming others because they were not breastfed as babies, but they were shitfed by their dads from the ass. Bitcoin is a shitcoin because everybody in the Bitcoin community acts like shit. The only reason I am making this post right now is to respond to the relentless hate I get for actually standing up for science. You are all a bunch of shitheads.

-Joseph Van Name Ph.D.

well according to you I am stupid and you gave me a negative trust.

I have a simple question from a simple mind such as myself.

What al gore rythm do you want us to use.

Since I am stupid I guess you won’t bother to answer.
3331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin devs really needs to focus more on making user interface easy to use on: October 03, 2023, 11:36:20 PM
From the much you’ve said, I could say you’ve got at least the basic knowledge about bitcoin or cryptocurrency for a while and that’s where it all starts. It might have taken you a bit of time to make that milestone but, you would agree with me that nothing good comes easy and should we be looking out for simplicity without some sophistication, we might end up having so many loopholes and this is finance!

I think bitcoin applications for most have come with a good enough simplicity for anyone with basic knowledge of cryptocurrency. It’s mainly a debit to credit (send/receive) operations.

Either your sending to a person or an exchange for various purposes. There is no sophistication in that.
When it Gomes to address verification, it’s a simple comparison before processing. No one requires you to have it offhand.

Busy!!!
I don’t  think a very busy person would want
to put themselves through the stress of
learning cryptocurrency, especially if you
would have to use it for your daily transactions once it seeks to gain widespread use.
Busy and need to know (learning) don’t go!
You can’t be too busy to learn and you somehow expect the system to adjust to fit your timing. The system is already leveraged for you to device your time to learn or invest without having an specification to period and if that’s not good enough, you could as well let it be and stick to fiat.

Anyone who sees the need and for the goods they could derive from an innovation will always find time to learn.
Tell that to a matured lady and hear her tell you do this for me a the time. As long as crypto aims for global or mass adoption it should be easy to learn expecially when competing with faits that we already know and use everday

you are correct that it should be easy.

 But it is easy if you have a KYC with a real exchange
 a hardware wallet.
 and only deal with 3 coins BTC ,LTC ,DOGE

There are about 3 or 4 solid exchanges.
1) Do KYC put some cash in the account
2) Buy your coins of choice.

I only use 3 coins

BTC
LTC
DOGE

3) move them to your hardware wallet.

4) rinse repeat.

about
80% BTC
10% LTC
10% DOGE

now once you go to this site.


https://coinmarketcap.com

and see over 9000 coins you make it hard.

https://coinmarketcap.com/?page=91

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/liquid-share/

coins number 9006 liquid-share

No one should even consider looking at that site until they have done the 4 numbers steps above for at least a year.





So instructions are

 1) Do KYC put some cash in the exchange account (in my case coinbase)

2) Buy your coins of choice.

I only use 3 coins

BTC
LTC
DOGE

3) move them to your hardware wallet. I use a Trezor

4) rinse and repeat

3 conditions:

A) do not spend more eon this then you can afford.
B) after a year if you want you can expand to more coins
C) all POS coins are not proof of stake but really piece of shit
3332  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what are we expecting for the rest of 2023? on: October 03, 2023, 09:38:11 PM
From Oct 3 to Dec 31 I see a miner’s relief rally of about 33% so 27 k to 36k should happen.

Maybe even 27k to 40k.
3333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Oct 2023] Fees are lower, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs on: October 03, 2023, 09:34:32 PM
It's not just dumps of TX, we had two weird lock times yesterday:

Block 810326 was mined 1 hour and 9 minutes after the previous
https://mempool.space/block/00000000000000000001e6e02dcc15eaf643c126bc50d9f76320ebd9e8104c99
fees jumped from 7 to 40.

Previously block 810307 had a 50 minute delay:
https://mempool.space/block/000000000000000000027d7f4259586a846e9c0608901fff17ca036709d5efb4
fees jumped from 2 to 26

You can actually see them even in the 24-hour graph in the mempool buildup when there is a continuous climb with no drops

I guess this was shortly before the difficulty adjustment, right?

Right after the difficulty adjustment... Blocks are getting confirmed much faster. We are already seeing mined blocks having 1 sat/vByte transactions. In fact, we are already 8 blocks ahead of the expected 34 as of now.

I think we shall soon see a close to complete mempool clean up



and since you said that we went in the wrong direction. Still if you do 9 sats you should be okay. But 2-4 not so much. It is way better than doing 25 or 35 sats.

Tech Geeks
BitcoinTalk has some tech geeks who exclusively write their posts to help people in every other way. Of course, Bitcointalk also has average users like me. Since this forum is one of the oldest on the internet, thousands of articles were written almost decades ago,

This is not accurate. There are forums[1] in which you can obtain more detailed information and better answers, but this forum remains a place to share your ideas, no matter how stupid they are, and to obtain information with some degree of validity. For example, if you ask a question in some local boards or altcoins board, you may not get a correct answer


Why are you unlikely to be publicly scammed?
I consider Bitcointalk as one of the safest forums on the internet. The internet is full of scammers, and Bitcointalk is not without scammers. There are scammers, but you are unlikely to get scammed if you talk in public.

This is related to the economy of signature campaigns. I will not scam you for $500 because my account can generate an income of $800 per month, but whenever the signature campaigns stop, you will find legendary members scamming for $200, and the truest example of this is @yogg[2] Cold Keys scam[3]

This is very true. I have been offered 1 and or 2 btc for this account more than once.

About 5,000 to 35,000 usd when the offers were made.

I am fortunate that I have no need or want to sell this account. But I am sure some legends have done so.

They may have got into a bind gambling or whatever else and decided to sell the account or do a scam.

3338  Economy / Economics / Re: Do we truly need cbdc when bitcoin already exist? on: October 03, 2023, 06:14:54 PM
CBDC (central bank digital currency) are digital representation of a country's official currency managed and regulated by a central bank. The idea is to provide an alternative to digital cash allowing faster transactions and increasing financial accessibility.

Its centralized nature allows the government to directly issue currency to citizens at the whim of central banks

This obviously means that they can not offer the same level of autonomy or censorship resistance that bitcoin offers

The fact that its implementation can lead to potential surveillance and increase government control over finance is something to be worried about.

Considering the fact that bitcoin has earned an high level of trust, security and borderlessness from it user with an inherent monitory policy brings the big question;

Do we really need cbdc now?

To answer once again about CBDC : it is not what we all dreamed of. It is not "blockchain and security for the masses", it is total control and complete management of your money, which will be in the hands of the state. Read about the implementation of this technology, it is a "blockchain hell" which just crosses out all the advantages of this wonderful technology and ideology. But... most likely - there's no turning back now


Well then if so it means btc was a con as it helped people think digital and then the governments of the world will do cbdc.

So my idea that satoshi was the CIA or some secret agency with a plan is bolstered yet again.  Get people to used btc  then force them to use cbdc.

It would mean btw's sole purpose was to create cbdc down the road.


we could be truly fucked.

 or not. time will tell.
