361  Economy / Speculation / Re: What factors determine the increase or decrease of Bitcoin? on: December 05, 2017, 02:26:10 AM
Price of Bitcoins preliminary determined by it's demand with volume and according availability. Bitcoin already creates its own standalone value which I don't think that will come back. Universal omnipresent gives more value to Bitcoin. With blockchain and cryptography, creates Bitcoin combinely, it is really remarkable that Blockchain is a technology-oriented medium for future business. More use of blockchain technology will indirectly impact and affect on increasing price of bitcoin.


Additionally I would like to inform that, more interest of users in altcoins can also make major impact on price of Bitcoin. Its because, there are no ways in many countries for users who already aware about bitcoin and willing to invest in other cryptocurrencies, except than buying bitcoins at local exchanger. In such case whales can drive market. But currently bitcoin have global appreciation, its a decentralized with limited availability. And value determined by market is volatile, and it will. But in upward trend, just because unmatched technology and PoW behind it.

First thing Bitcoin is really special due to its own characteristics which are unique and unified.
Bitcoins is peer to peer based cryptocurrency which allows user to transact and store there tokens electronically.
Bitcoins is open source.
Bitcoins take fewer time to verify transaction done within network.
It charge lower fees.
It  it totally transparent.
364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin overcome Paypal? on: December 04, 2017, 06:33:49 PM
Right now as published by The Street by Oct 16, 2017 - PayPal has had one of the hottest stocks in the entire tech sector in 2017. ... At a market cap of more than $82 billion, and by 2017 last quarter Bitcoin rise up like as skyrocket. Bitcoins currently have more than $182 billion, I thinks its quite much bigger than Paypal.

Even market of Bitcoin already reached to $300 billion. It clearly showing what the future will be. Even Paypal have filed a patent to accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Paypal also testing on blockchain technology, because they know that Bitcoin is far Big and what will be future of business, economics and finance.

John McAfee Bullish on Bitcoin Price Reaching $1 Million by 2020.
He wrote in Twitter: "When I predicted Bitcoin at $500,000 by the end of 2020, it used a model that predicted $5,000 at the end of 2017. BTC has accelerated much faster than my model assumptions. I now predict Bircoin at $1 million by the end of 2020. I will still eat my dick if wrong."

Can yo believe this? What are your own predictions?


Ya anyone will believe if understand the importance, system and value of generation/production of Bitcoin. Day by day this value is increasing. In crypto term its called as "mining". Bitcoin is a real proof of work based on SHA256 algorithm, which is decentralized, open source, safe, secure, peer to peer and can accessible with internet only.

Increasing demand and current supply will definatelly increase value of bitcoin against fiat comparing to price for production of Bitcoins. As Day by day this price will increase as it depends upon block size, block height, block weight, block time, contributing hash power and rewards for solving blocks. If production cost of bitcoin will increase in future then definitely price of Bitcoin will also increase. I agree with John McAfee.

But still depend upon community. Current interest of people can take bitcoin to that much height. And future implementation of Blockchain technology automatically increase value of Bitcoin.
366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin next 5-10 years on: December 03, 2017, 08:18:15 PM
Currently we are in 2017. By 2020 we are entering into new phase of mining which will be reduce prize of rewards by 50% than currently have, it means production of bitcoins will be reduced. According to current demand and current supply., Bitcoin price will move up by 2020. I cannot predict price exactly in coming  5 to 10 years but surely it will set a benchmark and create a history in price of exchange against fiat.

367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bitcoin the most popular cryptocurrency? on: December 03, 2017, 08:12:53 PM
To be frankly speaking.

We all (You and me) gives value to bitcoin and make it famous and popular, just because we trust in Bitcoin and system behind it. Basically Bitcoin is unified non reversible combination of blockchain and cryptography. Blockchain and cryptography both are advanced quantum physics theories, which are implemented properly for formulation of bitcoin.

Blockchain have great future with combination of cryptography. This can literally give solution for any business to make itself decentralized and open source.
368  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When 21 million? on: December 03, 2017, 08:01:26 PM
They say that the last bitkoyn will be produced in 2140. Although, given that one bitkoyn mined every ten minutes, it turns out that 21 million will be much earlier. However, it seems to me that by the time the bitcoin itself and its quantity have completely changed. Therefore, it is meaningless to think for a century ahead.

I agree it takes 10 minutes to solve  single block to generate 12.5 BTC currently.

In coming future halving also plays important role on production of Bitcoins. We are currently in 3rd phase of halving.

In first phase of halving Block rewards were 50 BTC for 210000 Blocks which were solved in first 4 years from 2008 to 2012.
In second phase of halving Block rewards were 25 BTC for 210000 Blocks which were solved in first 4 years from 2012 to 2016 (Rewards reduced by 50%).
Now we are currently in third phase of having with Block rewards of 12.5 BTC for 2016 to 2020. (Rewards reduced by 50% than second phase).
After 2020 there will be having after that rewards for block will be again reduced by 50% which will be 6.25 BTC for single block solving.

According this calculation it could take 2145. But due to reduction of time for solving blocks (current Block Time is 08:38 min.) according to number of blocks, it will be completed by 2130.
369  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When 21 million? on: December 03, 2017, 07:50:46 PM
Theoretically by 2140, the 21 million bitcoins will be mined. And if you wonder about miners and mining, we will still need them. They will be paid with the transaction fees but not for the newly created bitcoins (as all of them are mined). Hope that help.

Ya its a great feature for futurist after 2130. Little correct as due to time reduction of solving block from 10 minutes to set to reduction of blocks so It will be finished by 2130.

Last Bitcoin will be generate by 2130. This is not obviously a short span of time. Currently we are in 2017. So it means it will take more 113 years to generate last Bitcoin. Till this time if bitcoin survive then it's price will be beyond sky limit.
370  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of bitcoin increase forever? on: December 03, 2017, 07:43:54 PM
Till bitcoin stop to generate, price of Bitcoins will be always in up trend. But when it will finish mining by solving all blocks. At that time Bitcoin will be set at fixed price and certain height among all cryptomarket. And at that time other altcoins will works well to offer better service as a payment method.

For finishing of mining till 2130, it will take more years. Bitcoin will set new benchmark and create a history in price hit with new height for exchange against fiat in coming few years.
371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: when you try to explain people about cryptocurrency do they understand? on: December 03, 2017, 07:24:22 PM
at the beginning it took me some time to explain people about this market.
i wonder:
when you try to explain people about cryptocurrency do they understand?

One guy I talked to about Bitcoin felt like it was something only for the elite. Something only the wealthy could afford and not many people understand. I think part of the problem is that education and information is usually either by word of mouth or people have to make an effort to search and learn themselves. Since Bitcoin is not a business for profit, there isn't a great deal of advertising about Bitcoin. There are a few advertisements and one year a college football bowl game was sponsored by Bitcoin, but there isn't a lot of that. It's going to be a very gradual process that is basically organic and grassroots. That's not always a bad thing because if it succeeds then it will have proven to be deserving.

I completely agree.

I remember  ― Philip Dick's sentence  --  “The existence of a majority logically implies a corresponding minority.”

As people are getting aware about Bitcoin. Even still newbies are trying to understand Bitcoin in better way. It will take time to user to be familiar with bitcoins. Once user understand Bitcoin, every cryptocurrency have relatively same concept and system behind with different statistics. Rather I would like to prefer go for cryptocurrency first to demonstration how cryptocurrency exactly works, it will help far more to user to understand Bitcoin and subsequently cryptocurrencies.
372  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if, we advertise bitcoin on T.V.? on: December 03, 2017, 07:03:25 PM
I have straight opinion.

Who will pay for advertisement and who will get benefit from it.

First thing Bitcoin is not a thing that can be advertised on Television. I believe TV is great tool invented and utilized to reach to to end users, but it works good just for Product based campaigning.

Bitcoin understanding needs that much capability of common user to digest it. So this is very bad idea. Bitcoin have its own safe and secure protocol which require network connectivity.

If anyone make advertisement on TV with then it can bring trouble to user. If a registered services like as exchanger or any payment gateway can make promotion of there own brand with including name of Bitcoin at domestic level with limited liabilities. As Advertiser is responsible to offer service to end user.
373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long bitcoin will survive ? on: December 03, 2017, 06:49:50 PM
The only honest answer is: for as long as two people or more believe Bitcoin has use and value.

The schedule for block rewards is set to extend out to the year 2130 so bitcoin mining (in its true sense) can continue for that long as long as there are transactions to produce work for.

Maybe an equally good question is: what could end bitcoin? If we think about it from that perspective we can identify what threats exist to seriously harm bitcoin.

One such risk is Governments. They can ban the use of bitcoin among retailers which would seriously diminish the opportunity for adoption growth.

What else?

I agree. But who makes governments ? People. When people are welcoming to new era of economics then, obviously future will be different. As Bitcoin is SHA256 based highly encrypted block data chain which secured by contributing power for it, this is really backed by proof of Work.

Currently amount required for production of BTC is quite big and equal to current market price of Bitcoin. And in future difficulty, block heights, block size and number of contributors will increase compare to rewards generated by solving blocks. So obviously comparing demand and supply price of Bitcoin will skyrocket.
374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the factors that affect the rise and fall of the BTC? on: December 03, 2017, 03:06:32 PM
Factors affecting the price of bitcoin depend on the supply and demand of bitcoin. This means that when the bitcoin price increases, demand
is high. when bitcoin prices decrease,  supply is high. Most of  the decisions to buy or sell bitcoin depend on the news of bitcoin, if there is
good news about bitcoin, the bitcoin price will increase.

Ya I agree. But partially. As Bitcoin is master/prime currency among cryptomarket, that's why when people even make move to make investment to any other altcoin, then first of all user must have to buy Bitcoins. Now it may with fiat or any other cryptocurrencies demand always increasing according to popularity and awareness of Bitcoin in public.

I have personally check when IBM make tie up with stellar price of Bitcoin rise up suddenly. Equity becomes asset by converting it into cryptocurrency. Now a days cryptocurrencies have valuable stake in market cap. And if you checked analytics Bitcoin have 50% to 60% dominance in market cap. All these things resulting towards increase in price of Bitcoin against fiat currency globally.
375  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is a good investment now, because... on: December 03, 2017, 09:08:54 AM
Currently Bitcoin have highest market cap aroundly $300 Billion. Its a very big funding caped with bitcoins. More interest of people taking Bitcoin to new height. As well as technology behind Bitcoin is also very important to consider. Blockchain technology is really creating a bridge to connect businesses with decentralized platform.

People are believing technology and platform, also find best solution for better returns on investments. Bitcoin is the solution for it.
376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is changing the world. on: December 03, 2017, 08:58:48 AM
In true words yes Bitcoin is changing world. Rather I would like to say Bitcoin is making innovation and revolution in economy and finance. Bitcoin have already changed parameter of payment solutions globally. As Bitcoin is well known digital asset worldwide and can be evaluated in fiat currency directly.

Bitcoin is a great commodity and decentralized platform to send or receive Bitcoins from user within network without interaction of any third party. This platform is open source and can used electronically only, this is truly invention.

377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to eliminate unemployment. on: December 03, 2017, 08:51:34 AM
Well Bitcoin and unemployment are far different subjects.

According to me Bitcoin have such a great features and futures that eliminate middleman and user can transact with peer to peer network. If middle man is removed then there will be no charge for receiver or even sender. So in such conditions already jobs will be reduced in coming years.

Now second this unemployment. Bitcoin is not solution for unemployment.

But, Bitcoin is great platform, and technology behind bitcoin is a great vehicle for everyone to create own job. If people get understand what is bitcoin ? even spend time to understand it, then it will be great proud for themselves.
378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CME Group to launch bitcoin futures contract on Dec. 18 on: December 03, 2017, 08:38:53 AM
Yes, that's great news.

At least big corporate are showing interest in blockchain technology. Its an start of Fintech I think. Many new business are still in phase of testing of possibilities of blockchain technology and its environment.

Soon there will be new start up of digital businesses based on blockchain technology.

Blockchain literally have solution for every aspect of business development including track record, updates, ledger record, time stamp, verification, encryption, authentication up to even transaction. This features will bring more transparency in businesses.
379  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we explain that the bitcoins is not a scam on: December 03, 2017, 08:31:44 AM
don't bother explaining it, let anyone who thinks bitcoin is scam, pyramid, ponzi,... continue thinking that way. i want less people buying bitcoin now that i am buying so that i can buy more as long as bitcoin is still cheap. if they start changing their minds now, price would rise and i can buy less amount with my fiat.

and these people will understand how they fell for a stupid FUD when they start seeing "bitcoin is accepted here" signs everywhere. if they happen to go to Japan now, they can see them already in a lot of shops.

I think people who don't what is bitcoin are might be mislead with wrong information. This can impact on genuine users too. As they will also think that Bitcoin is scam, pyramid or ponzi scheme.

Rather we can explain them as Bitcoin is future. Technology behind Bitcoin is real invention.

Many of think or even ask me too that who is main authority behind. I would like to clear it as There is tremendous energy (electric) is used to make proof of work by running servers and nodes. Which get rewards for solving such encrypted data and storing it on open ledger. And generated rewards are Bitcoins. Bitcoin have strong power behind it for backing.
380  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: December 03, 2017, 04:41:09 AM
BTC is most precious commodity for me. Since, I am knowing about Bitcoin, it create a history in last 10 centuries by both way. It introduced amazing, innovative technology called blockchain. Second create that much value that it really requires for generation.

Really Bitcoin is invention for globe which brings life changing things in life of common user.
