In 2018, the average US income was only 8.4 BTC...

Anyone got predictions for 2023?

As years pass the price of bitcoin have increased along with large scale adoption and more real life uses. In 2013 it got much used into transaction of huge volume of funds, illegal activities, and gambling. Now the preference is for investment, trading and for future benefits.

If the average earning by the year 2018 is 8.4btc it'll get decreased by the year 2023. 2018 hadn't marked good growth in the price of bitcoin. This way my prediction for the year 2023 was between 3-6 btc.
4742  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Ethereum replaces Bitcoin someday? on: October 03, 2019, 06:52:07 AM
Of all the other thousand cryptocurrencies out there i think ethereum is still the only one capable of replacing Bitcoin as the top cryptocurrency presently.

Eth is the second largest coin by market share and it is also tge major coin used to develop the largest percentage of smart contracts present in the cryptocurrency space.

In terms of market dominance and marketcap ethereum stands next to bitcoin. Recently ethereum was moved to third place by Ripple. By that time it was mentioned as manipulated growth to get the attention of users towards xrp. Later ethereum took its place. The term altcoin itself makes it an alternate to the bitcoin and not an replacement.
So i think eth is capable but i dont believe that will happen anytime soon
Next to bitcoin most of the people prefer ethereum for investment as well other transaction purposes. This is perfectly based on the real-time usage and the growth it has provided through the smart contract when there is more than two thousand coins in the CMC. Ethereum has the ability to compete against bitcoin, but this will never cause bitcoin get replaced by ethereum.

Now the second century for India has come from Mayank Agarwal. This is his debut hundred in his test career, and this has been scored in 203 balls. The partnership is quite strong, and such a start gives a big confidence to the entire team. South Africa should do something to break the partnership, because after certain score the run rate will surely increase. This will let them score big in a short time which decrease the winning or the draw chance of South Africa.
4744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google Says That They Have Just Reached Quantum Supremacy - BITCOIN IN DANGER? on: October 02, 2019, 06:58:02 AM
In Australia the quantum computing development is funded by a bank.
This means they've understood the future and acting at the present. When we talk about the quantum computer, there is no big thing to be talked. Quantum computer can do mathematical problems in three minutes of time and the same takes 10000 years with other powerful computers of the world. The only relation with bitcoin is through the private key, with this power it is possible to crack the private keys. Such a advancement can happen in next ten to fifteen years.

Another thing to break the code of bitcoin it needs 2000 qbits and what Google's quantum computer have is just 53qbits. This way there is nothing to fear on the existence of the Quantum Computer. Going through the article this is what I understood about Quantum computer which is predicted to make a crash in the market.

there is already another topic discussing this here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5189037.0
and the story is suspicious at best which makes it look more like an FUD not to mention that there is no noticeable change in the hashrate!
I didn't came through that thread. This is purely a FUD as mentioned. Most of the users in the other thread discussing on the same has stated it to be a FUD to manipulate the market. The same is being confirmed as there is no change in the hash rate. If such incident has taken place, truly it'll affect the hash rate overall.
4746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Mega Mining Farm on Fire 💥 on: October 02, 2019, 04:18:44 AM
Bitcoin Mega Mining Farm in China has caught fire. The damage caused by the fire was estimated to be $10 million. Some speculated this to be the reason for the price recovery of more than $500 yesterday. No respective authorities have confirmed it, but videos of the fire has been getting spread over the media.

China's Mining grows regularly with more number of mining farms without proper licensing. Last month too one of the big mining farm got affected out of the flood. This time another mining farm has got affected by the fire. Does this makes a big impact over the market of bitcoin, as mining is the base for the network to function.
4747  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Benefits Of Using Trading Signal Services And Tools on: October 02, 2019, 02:34:14 AM
From various experiences put forth by different users following different trading signals what these services provide is just a outlook of the market. Based on the same they make predictions. Here if the predictions gets coincidence with the reality of the market move it is a success. When we calculate the success percentage in this manner it is very small.

Among ten there might be one trading signal group that functions with legitimacy. Remaining all were a try to get some earning out of the users through the premium. Even if we are following the legit trading signal services group we don't get the assurance of profiting. Good is to keep the signal provided as a reference and do your own research before making a trade.
4748  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODL'ers lose. That is no surprise on: October 02, 2019, 12:43:04 AM
That opinion is obviously from someone who is involved in Bitcoin very short period of time and doesn't know much about it. Holding is something that is profitable for long term and by long term I don't mean 6 months or so. Besides, not all holders got their Bitcoin on the sane way, sone are buying, some are earning so making general conclusions about holders is not good.
Very few understand better about holding and act keep the assets secure with long-term focus. As in the quote it isn't just six months or few more months of holding. An American institution took a research on holding, from that the minimum time period mentioned was 5 years. It is always good to keep for long term profiting, by the same time it is a must to act instantly if the growth has taken place good before the targeted period of hodling. If we miss such opportunities it needs more time to achieve the same again.
4749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Cock Fighting on: October 01, 2019, 11:37:50 PM
<<snip>>
I had read similar articles too and as far i know the people who raided while did cockfighting because gambling forbidden in that country so the police arrest them because they were gambling and the caused is not because they did cockfighting itself and i think bets on cockfighting online sites also not good option

Could you please share the link of the article that you have heard so we can read that one also, it might be the same to what i have shared several days ago. You can scroll up to see my post. The reason why they were raided is that they deviate the schedule given by the law. The law states that they can only gamble during Sundays and selected holidays. When they were raided, that was Monday, that means that they violate the law.

even i have heard the owners can manipulate the results by giving doping to the chickens so they can fight stronger or weaker
Doping on cocks? Lol, i never heard of it. I also breed some fighting cocks but never heard of doping on birds. Maybe what you mean is the owner give some vitamins to the birds so that they will grow healthy and strong.

No this is not just like this there are so many areas where people do this as regular job to earn money, they keep fighting cocks and train them to fight. At my home as well my brother use to keep fighting cocks and feed them well, in yearly fair at my village he wins more than 50k which is huge amount, it is interesting as well i saw so many fights live at my village.
Same goes with my father in law as well which he do breeds and also train and feed up well those cocks to maintain its tiptop shape for the fight.

He do even had a cock that won 4 fights already which is rarely can be seen on a fighting cock to survive for this long but well sometimes luck is a great
factor anytime we do gamble.
Feeding these Cocks were really a hard thing. It needs much dedication which isn't possible with everyone. One who loves it will do it, and one of my friend too have it. He used to say proper medication is a must after every match, if not surely it'll die within few weeks. Also the claws were maintained good which is important for the fight.

I'm not sure about it, and there is more bad experiences posted by different users investing on gambling houses. So when one is with plans of making an investment it is very clear to find the trusted gambling house. They might be paying low interest, but this is legit and no need of fear. If you aren't satisfied with the gambling house just keep hold of the bitcoin than investing in large volume and getting yourself into a bigger risk.
4751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 01, 2019, 08:34:50 AM
It may not be a bad strategy to bet in favor of Sri Lanka for the third ODI match. The gambling sites are giving them very low odds (most of them at 9/2). Looking at their spirited performance during the 2nd match, I would say that there is a chance of upset.
This is exactly what I am thinking of doing. If Sri Lanka pull off an upset here, it is possible to win big money. However, they need to perform well overall to have a fighting chance against the powerful Pakistan team.

Tbh, I am impressed with their performance after last fight, especially Shehan Jayasuriya, he can become a promising all-rounder for SL in the long term, hope Srilankan board can utilize his talent and I might put a small amount on Sri Lankan team if the odds are too good to ignore. But, I still think they can't win against Pakistan in the ODI. Maybe there is some chance in T-20 format, chances are thin but who knows...
From the beginning of the first innings Pakistan was quite strong making good partnership between wickets. When we look at the starting performance of Sri Lanka it wasn't that good as Pakistan. After five wickets Sri Lankan played good making partnership. This happened very late, and by that time the match has almost gone into the hands of Pakistan. I believe there is chance for Sri Lanka, because even with players without much experience it has failed at 67 run difference and three overs left.

Op in his other post has come up with a detailed information on, how to stay away from scammers. Now his effort to make users not get caught into DNS hijack is a good try. DNS hijack can be confirmed when an application used gets redirected to a browser. This can be sought by the native tools available. If not going through the device manager can find additional drivers getting added. If there is something likewise you get the access to disable it. Further on restart the issue won't be there anymore.
4753  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price struggling on: September 30, 2019, 06:15:56 PM
Compared to the days of bitcoin over $10300 what we have in terms of price for ethereum against bitcoin is really good. Ethereum price has been struggling from the days after it reached the ath. In a very slow phase the growth got diminished and at times there is steep falls. Looking upon the growth happened by 2017, there were more predictions stating 2018 will be big year for ethereum. To the expectation nothing big happened and the price fell low to $100 in recent days. Hope the present time is good for the same.
4754  Economy / Economics / Re: Hong kong and China war can lead to possible Bitcoin popularity on: September 30, 2019, 05:05:21 PM
An initial opposition to the extradition bill started as a fight and the same has now turned to be a movement of opposition against the communist rule. 1st of October gets celebrated as China's National day, and this time how good the celebrations could be. It has been facing hard criticism from countries around the globe. Hong Kong on the other side keeps on gaining more and more support.

The protest has been taking place for months, and most of the protesters here were under the age of thirty. They keep themselves with perfect preparation to stand against the ruling. Now China has been experiencing pressure from various sides, very importantly it has been facing problems from human rights and finance. To end this is not possible in the short, and as there is financial burst it might affect the cryptocurrency to a very small level.
4755  Economy / Speculation / Re: I wan't to believe on: September 30, 2019, 04:27:59 AM
From my learning anything far big from the production cost or mining cost is a pure bubble. We will have such big marginal growth, but that won't last for a longer time period. The demand and supply will be one that making a big change in the market price apart from the production cost. When the usage increases surely the mining power required will also increase, and this gets reflected on the production cost increase. This way the price will reach certain level through this mutual rise, and beyond that will be a bubble.
4756  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to double capital in 2 months? on: September 30, 2019, 03:01:04 AM
I achieved to double capital within some hours. It is about volatility and your leverage.
If you're ready to accept risks, then you can easily to double and triple your investment.
But if you want to grow your capital steadily without taking high risks, then you need more time
It has got the risk, and here the user is lucky to get the investment doubled in few hours. This won't happen with everyone, but with the present market situation there is more chances for growth. Also as the market is down, we get to invest at a much lower price which increases the chance of doubling our investment anytime soon.
4757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 29, 2019, 05:25:34 PM
I was lucky today that I missed the Sing Vs Zim match  Grin Otherwise I would have lost my bet on Zim. These T20 matches are highly unpredictable  Undecided Zim would have won the match they needed only 16 runs from 12 balls with 6 wkts in hand and everything turned upside down in the last 2 overs
Somehow you are lucky to stay out of the loss. Very close match, and none could have thought it would be a winning for Singapore. Zimbabwe maintained good partnership from the beginning of the match. Also there is no big loss of consecutive wickets. End of the match Zimbabwe losing is totally disappointing. I didn't watched the match, quite often checked the score. Finally when I looked for the score it was 30 runs required from 24 balls. I confirmed it will be win for Zimbabwe and finally things has gone upside down as mentioned.
4758  Economy / Economics / Re: Build a Bank Of Bitcoin on: September 29, 2019, 05:10:38 PM
Banks have begun to adopt the blockchain technology for the efficient functioning of their services.
Already there were few financial service renders who function completely with cryptocurrencies.
There isn't any bank to function completely on bitcoin for some security reasons, and hacks.
When a bank operates on bitcoin it is responsible for all the funds of the people, as hacks are
common with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Maybe in future we might see such bitcoin banking services similar to the traditional banking.
4759  Economy / Speculation / Re: When bitcoin will hit $1 million ! on: September 29, 2019, 01:55:41 PM
It will happen if Bitcoin will be commonly used in all nations as an option for our direct spending but for now it is very impossible as Bitcoin was treated as an investment by the majority that once Bitcoin will become more expensive to purchase it will become more difficult to purchase for an investment making the small time majority investors will be forced to shift to most affordable crypto which is the Altcoins.
When bitcoin gets used similar to the fiat currencies that we use around there will be growth, but the same can't be expected to reach $1 million. When we think of a million dollar in a third world country it is a huge money. This can fulfill an individuals entire living needs till death. There will be continued growth, but the same won't take the price to such a level.

Bitcoin as an investment is getting preferred among all levels of people, upon which it takes more time for people to use bitcoin around the globe same as that we use our traditional currency.
4760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Things That Comes Into Your Mind When Winning... on: September 29, 2019, 04:36:27 AM
It depends on the won amount,if it was really high then I will stop betting on that day and surely will spend most of the money by that day itself.If its just the decent amount or merely less than our lost money then simply risk that amount on betting again to make more.
Yeah when people win high amount to become satisfied but some people make mistakes to gamble again at the moments. As when I win I try to increase my amount and the only thing I think about is to win more and more but its not good we should limit our earning being good gambler is one of the best feeling.
That’s what you called greediness mate.cannot be contented in good amount of winnings instead always looking for more and more that’s why even if they are winning in the start up to mid,in the end losing is what they’ve got

If you want to win in gambling the learn to control Your eagerness and small winnings is enough than looking for higher but cannot be done
Greed always accompanies and makes me to spend a amount higher than what I spend on the previous roll. Another thing I used to keep a target and play which the reason for most of my losses. In simple when I start I used to fix we need to win 0.0005btc and stop, but I earn 0.00042 btc and by that time losing starts and to recover the loss I used to increase the bet value. This finally ends up with empty wallet.
