3941  Economy / Trading Discussion / Google Trend and Bitcoin price. Do retailers rejoin the party? on: January 06, 2021, 03:27:46 AM
From the visual chart, it seems that retailers (old, new) rejoin or join the party again. The time-series line for Google trend with bitcoin keyword (globally) is on a rise and it is currently about 25% lower than its all time high in 2017.

The thread is to announce the potential of a new wave from retailers. A reminder is you do know what sort of retailers' effects and their longevitty, then what will happen after that.

It is a very simplified view. Sometimes, we need to be as simplest as possible.  Cheesy

From the data points around 15k (Bitcoin Google trend) to 20k, it is ~ 33% increase for Bitcoin Google trend. Within the same period, the price of bitcoin rose from $15455 to $19140. It is about 23.85% rise.

If history repeats itself, the price of bitcoin from current all time high at $34778 will rise up to $43072. That price is still lower than some other speculation.

Again, it is not my financial advice, just my opinion and another different way to view the market.  Wink

Instead of combine data from those sites (I also don't know how to download data from their charts), I use data from Google trend with 2 keywords: bitcoin and bitcointalk.org. I use the multiplier 200 to make the chart more visual comparative.

A combination of two variables for bitcoin, bitcointalk.org and Bitcoin price (daily close price from coinmarketcap.com), here you go with the time series chart.

What do we have here?
  • Google Trend with Bitcoin keyword has sort of correlation with bitcoin price
  • In contrast, the Google Trend with bitcointalk.org keyword does not have correlation with bitcoin price

At least one output is a change address so at most 73 customers Smiley
Initially, when I wrote OP, I forgot about change address but minutes later, I thought of it but still not sure there is or is not change address in that batch. The possibility of having change address is big but it is not 100% probability. It is reason I hesitate to edit OP. Anyway, thanks for the correction.

but it can not be accurate because exchanges withdrawal fee are not the same, they are different from exchanges to exchanges.
I left a note that for other exchanges or other periods, do your own research and calculations.

Quote
Having a noncustodial wallet has been the best, not even only about transaction fee, but also about bitcoin and other crypto security and safety, exchanges are not safe and secure by design, they are often hacked.
It is not, at least IMO. You are overestimate the non-custodial wallet and security for your funds. Think of it this way:
  • Exchanges (big ones) have big security teams and they have multiple layers for their systems. But they are main targets of hackers so consequently the risks of attacks, hacks on exchanges are high or higher.
  • Non-custodial wallets mean you have to fully control and secure your devices, your wallets. I am sure not all people are using non-custodial wallets keep their devices clean. Or they don't do multiply layers of protections. Or they regularly do stupid things.
To sum up, if you are doing stupid things on your devices, non-custodial wallet is worse than exchange wallets. Sometimes, exchanges can automatically protect your accounts from compromises. If you have healthy web-surfing, and don't often trade on exchanges, let's go with non-custodial wallets.


we as the users shouldn't assume 'withdrawal fees' equivalent to 'network fees'.
They are different things but somewhat can be connected IF exchanges apply dynamic withdrawal fee. In reality, most of exchanges are using Static (fix) withdrawal fee that does not correlate to transaction fee on the network.


Oversimplistic way of looking at things.

Those exchanges need to make money, what to you might look like a simple payment has people verifying, monitoring, and giving the go-ahead for it, it has support, it has an infrastructure to pay for all of it. Yeah, they make money from withdrawals fee, it's normal, I would be more amazed if somebody would do it for free.
There are many factors behind and as I wrote in OP, it is not an attack on exchanges. Instead, it is a reminder to people to beware of what they get from exchanges (chances to trade, etc.) and what they get loss from exchanges (withdrawal fees, ie.)

I know exchanges need to have teams behind to keep their services operating safely. They need to have salary budgets for their staffs, and so on. If people decide to use exchanges, they automatically accept those (dis)advantages.

Exchanges get their incomes from many sources: maker/ taker fees, listing fees, withdrawal fees, and partnerships with crypto projects, or manipulate their order books and make liquidations, etc.


Definitely, their fees could be cheaper, but fees are there for companies to make money and maybe for clients to keep as many coins on the exchange as possible so that their liquidity would be as high as possible.
Higher or lower,  community can make voices but must accept ToS to use exchanges.  Smiley


Look at it in % of BTC is better as the figure in USD will be changed with bitcoin price. The percent is not small -- 93.1% go to exchange, the rest (6.9% is for transaction fee to miners)

Excellent data compilation, thanks.
You are welcome. It is my love to do this as I am stats enthusiast.

I like how stable is the Min of close price in the second graph. This shows us that the price is steadily rising even the fluctuations.
Truly it is.

This fact (growth of bitcoin price) is also reflected through the yearly lowest price. Check details (stats and charts) there. Despite of some ups and downs, the yearly lowest price almost rises in 2 consecutive years. The exception is year 2015, when price ($171.51) has -40.7% compares to yearly lowest price in 2014 ($289.3)
3945  Other / Beginners & Help / Old story. Exchanges get profits from users' withdrawal fees. on: January 05, 2021, 05:38:28 AM
It is not a new story, a new theory.

Exchanges always do batch payments for their customers' withdrawal requests. They do only one batch payment in a single transaction for 10, 20, 50 withdrawals from 10, 20, 50 customers. For each customer, they charge a fix amount of withdrawal fee.

Hey. Let's see how they earn profits from the type of fee.
This transaction has:
  • 1 input (from the exchange)
  • 74 outputs (to 74 customers)
  • Each withdrawal will be charged with 0.0005 BTC as fee.
  • Net withdrawal fee: 74 x 0.005 = 0.037 BTC
  • The fee the exchange paid to miner is: 0.002554 BTC
  • Profit = 0.037 - 0.002554 =.034446 BTC
  • Profit in USD: 0.034446 *31000 = $1067.826

You can check this fact whenever you make your withdrawal on any exchange.

BTC empty blocks (2011 - 1 May 2020): miners, size, daily, monthly,yearly stats.

The data used for that analysis is outdated but you can take the results for time gaps (in seconds) between empty blocks and one-block-before (or one-block-precedent blocks)

AntPool: There are 1237 blocks with the timegaps <= 60 seconds per 1712 blocks. They account for 72.3% that is not a small proportion.
F2Pool: There are 712 blocks with the timegaps <= 60 seconds per 998 blocks. They account for 71.3% that is not a small proportion.
Check details

Raw results:
AntPool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5245684.msg54380171#msg54380171
F2Pool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5245684.msg54384360#msg54384360


I don't know the correlation of mining pools for empty, one-block-before, and one-block-after blocks. I did not include it in my past analysis. I will run it again when I have time to figure out how many percent of one-block-before, and one-block-after blocks are mined by the same pools that mined empty blocks.

1 Bitcoin is always 100,000,000 Satoshis
I love the chart from coinmarketcap but not the original chart. The one I love is after all indicators: marketcap, Price, and 24h volume are hidden. What is left after that?

  • Only one orange horizontal line that represents 1 BTC is always 1 BTC
  • 1 satoshi is always 1 satoshi
  • Only 2 things change:
    • Price of bitcoin/ satoshi
    • The changes in intensity of bitcoin usage to satoshi usages in transactions

Its the same as Bitcoin, has its "losses", and has its winning streaks, and no matter what statistical data you show, there will always be people who claim Bitcoin has died, despite proving time, and time again its actually moving in a upward trend in the long term.  
Streaks, I have it for both rise and fall streaks. Below is the part of table for 2020-streaks.

In the last year (2020), there are 10 streaks in total (with my streak definition is for 5+-days at least to be considered as a streak) and only 2 of them (20%) are Fall streaks. The rest 8 streaks (80%) are all Rise streaks. The last streak (also a rise) is lasting since late 2020 till early days of 2021 (yesterday) and might continue if bitcoin can bounce well today after dip few hours ago.

50% of 8 rise streaks have their duration (longevity) last from 6 to 8 days (I have to round the raw results) with the median is at 6 days. The shortest and longest rise streaks are 5 and 9 days, respectively.

50% of 8 rise streaks have changes (in %) range from 12.3% to 26.3% with the median is at 16.9%. The smallest and largest streaks are 8.8% and 32.2%, respectively.

Let me take this chance to bring my thread to life discussion again.
  • Sending BTC to BCH or whatever coins, vice versa. Don't do this, newbies !
  • Something to note when you are making a transaction
    • Check the ticker first
    • Check the warning message on the platform you are using (whether additional details are required as tag)
    • Check the chain (for USDT transactions, ie. there are few chains: OMNI layer on BTC chain, ERC20, TRC20, EOS, etc. Move your USDT or coins cross-chains will cause losses)
    • Check the address (first, and last few characters if you don't check all characters)

The year 2020 ends with the last rising streak from 29 December 2020 to 2 Jan 2021. It is also a 55th Rise streak and 75th streak (for both Rise and Fall streaks) in history of bitcoin.

The close price on 2 Jan 2021 is $32,127 so if today the close price is higher than that, the 75th will keep going. Let's see.


When I have spare time in coming days, I will make the analysis for Weekly streaks that will be an upgraded from Daily streaks. Stay tuned!

3 Jan anniversary!

Today is the anniversary day for Bitcoin's genesis block. Let's me use this remarkable day to make a plot for Bitcoin close price on 3Jan-dates. There are 2 exceptions: in 2013 and in 2021. Data from coinmarketcap.com in 2013 is from 29 Apr 2013, and this year, the date 3 Jan 2021 has not yet ended.


What a growth!

You can also look at price history for yearly low price in previous post.

3954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bittrex delisting XMR, DASH and ZEC. Will this affect Bitcoin? on: January 03, 2021, 02:38:39 AM
Probably XMR, DASH and ZEC investors ->> BTC? it's going to be a win win situation for us.
Bitcoin is a King and dominates the market. You can exclude those privacy coins and think of DeFi tokens. Bitcoin does not need any crash or collapse from DeFi tokens to dominate the market. Bitcoin investors invest in bitcoin because they have some sort of belief in bitcoin decentralization, its fixed deflationary total supply and future higher demands on bitcoin. They don't invest in bitcoin because they feel bad with altcoins (at least it is not their main reasons).

Capital from those coins can switch to bitcoin or to other altcoins.  Wink


They're not really taken away from us. They failed to break these privacy coins. They are now resorting to other means of hopefully bringing them down. And just like their past attempts, and even huge bounty on cracking Monero, these recent steps wouldn't make these privacy coins worthless. As a matter of fact, all these attempts from government authorities are actually adding more weight to these coins' existence, making their arguments more valid than ever, although they also push them underground.
They will come back, I believe. It is almost similar story for bitcoin. How many times governments try to shut down bitcoin and mixing serivces but the price of bitcoin today is a strong evidence of governmental failures (with their fiats and their attempts to break down bitcoin).

If you think those privacy coins are good technically and governments force exchanges to delist those coins, it is unofficial announcements of success for those privacy coins.

Personally, I expected to see those negative things in early or middle of 2019.

You should be fine with leaving fiat on exchanges because exchanges getting hacked is mostly concerned with stolen bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and not fiat; Assuming you're actually referring to real fiat money and not stablecoins.
Hackers and their fund movements with fiat (real fiat) will be traced more easily when they make movements with crypto and some mixing combination methods to launder their hacked crypto. The point is there is no guarantee that after hackers were caught, all victims will get their funds back.

Nothing is 100% safe: from exchanges to fiats, stable coins so the best approach is decentralize your funds in some sort of money storage: fiat + stable coins.

I know for crypto enthusiasts, stable coins are their more favorite as convenience they bring to users. With their fast transaction speeds and wide adoption on exchanges, people can move stable coins around and buy up dips. With fiat, the adoption is less and people usually have to bear a temp loss in rate to buy Bitcoin with fiat or to convert fiat to stablecoin then buy bitcoin with stable coin. It is true when market is in hot mood.

DAI is a good stable coin due to its decentralization. USDT is more used but beware of risks and related drama, potential lawsuit on USDT. I'd like to decentralize my stablecoin allocation into a few stable coins and in different wallets.


PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets (it is your thread, I quoted it for OP).  Cheesy

no and no
If you save that address and today you do not see any bitcoin or satoshi in that address by checking it with block explorer, it means your bitcoin was moved or you saved an inaccurate address.

Without private key or mnemonic seed, you lose your chance to recover your wallet. By that I meant, you lost your bitcoin (even it has still been in that wallet and not yet been moved out)

You don't need to create multiple topics for a single problem. Your previous thread cant see bitcoins in wallet

I'll ask a mod to move your thread to the Armory board, where one of the devs may help you out better.
I suggested OP to move his/her previous topic to Armony childboard but he did not move it and created a new topic instead.
You can move your topic to this child board Wallet software (Armony).
Also you need to edit your topic title: I can not see bitcoin in my Armony wallet.


OP, please see this topic as well: [READ] Post Armory, MultiBit, Electrum, or online wallets in the right forum

  • The best protection is don't do stupid things on your devices.
  • Antivirus softwares (AVs) don't protect you completely
    • There are risks that your AVs fail to detect malwares when heuristic or behavior analyses or behavior-based protection fail to detect threats
    • If a malware is entirely new, the risk is higher
  • You should not put your life at risks (by stupid web-surfing behavior) then leave it to AVs to protect you from potential threats
  • You can compare AVs with vaccine in the pandemic time. A good vaccine only reduce probability of infection for you but not 100% wipe out the risk. The same goes for AVs. You should not take a vaccination, then go to a crowd and say I am vaccinated and I won't be infected with the virus.

this was recieved over 2 years ago and unfortunately I dont have any of this information but at the time it was checked on the block chain that it had been sent to my wallet on armory
I don't use Armony wallet but very basics, if your bitcoin was moved to an address and you can check the balance in that address on bitcoin block explorer, your bitcoin is surely available in that wallet and that address.

The rest part is recover your wallet (Armony). You can move your topic to this child board Wallet software (Armony).
Also you need to edit your topic title: I can not see bitcoin in my Armony wallet.

List of useful Bitcoin block explorers gives you many block explorers.

Blockchair.com explorer is good but with any explorer, you should check your transaction with Tor.
