i do expect that the price of bitcoin will trade betweem $850 and $950 for some time,

I don't think so. Too many people want to have at least one bitcoin.

true, and not even every millionaire (denominated in $) could have one. there are more millionaires existing than bitcoin.


I understand your point, but What a silly one, no?   At today's prices, as I type, a million dollars could get you about 1,093 bitcoins, but if you have a million to invest, you might need to diversify a little bit, no?

Frequently, I mention to people who might be skeptical about bitcoins, that 1% to 10% of your quasi-liquid investment funds could be reasonable to invest in bitcoin, but if you happen to be fairly skeptical and skittish about today's prices, then maybe you would feel comfortable with only 1% in bitcoin, and all those variations seem reasonable.  So, at today's prices, a person who has $1million to invest but is fairly sceptical about bitcoins could still get 10.93 bitcoins... in other words, what seems to be your point, 600watt, those millionaires should act now, while the price is seemingly reasonable in a globally distributed mindset and while supplies last (before everyone else finds out the value of bitcoin).

my point is that even today, hell, even if bitcoin price tanks to $100 - no matter what price - not every existing millionaire can have one bitcoin. even if all existing btc hodlers would sell all their coins. there is no theoretical way possible, because there are more millionaires than bitcoins. to me this is an interesting fact, to lots of others it seems silly. i donīt understand why people get so itchy about it.  Smiley

Oh, shit ... Trumpcoin has fallen in price to a mark 16k from 54k. Well as you mega pump on the day of the inauguration of the US President? I knew that on such news there are liars, who shaved gullible investors, like sheep.

why could it be?

i think people who sensationalize a scalabilty problem should reevaluate the facts !  Cool

This is nonsense.  The only reason you can type such a thing right now is because nobody has been priced out of on-chain transactions yet.  As soon as that happens (which is definitely not far away), that's when bitcoin hits a wall due to what I said here:

A settlement layer has to compete with or beat gold as a store of value.  Bitcoin cannot accomplish that task so it has to do something else besides being a settlement layer or there is no point!

This is the gorilla in the room.  It turns out Roger Ver is wrong because slightly bigger blocks solves nothing.  Bitcoin would require a full blown LN capacity or it doesn't really have a value proposition.  The only question is, can the LN actually function?  It seems like to me you would have to place all channel closing in a centralized queue, so I have my doubts about LN.  And that is the real fundamental analysis of Bitcoin that most people in this thread either can't comprehend or sort of know there are issues like this but choose to ignore them and hope someone will pump it anyway.

So for bitcoin holders to have any value for their coins would need both miners to adopt segwit and LN to actually work in a decentralized manner, and there is currently no assurance for either one.  Although, I think it's likely they will pass segwit once people figure the conclusion I derive is true.  But then you still need LN to work in a decentralized manner or it's just some obfuscated form of Paypal.  Economy of scale might already cause terminal centralization for the 1st tier bitcoin network in the first place though, by driving the reqs to participate to corporation level.

From a fundamental perspective, people that can actually understand how all these variables interact (which I think are very few) know that in current state bitcoin is relatively broken in terms of long term workability.  The only question is how high can the price go before people figure that out.


^bitcoin parity with gold is a nobrainer ~ segwit appears to me like a clear understandable palatable development whereas LN is leaning towards experimental and we are yet to see if it will actually work as discribed or is even an essential add-on that will be embraced by endusers.    Cool   *stay tuned*

Why the dev closed the main TrumpCoin thread?

Is the dev dont active anymore now? I buy trumpcoin back a few days ago and now this.

He hasn't actively developed anything in months. Depredation, bitbobb and bitbullbarbados have been handling things.



Before he won the nomination I put forward a huge development change I was willing to implement at my own cost. I provided a link
to the white paper on the original thread and not one of this group even asked a single question about it. I doubt they even downloaded it.
(I cannot offer the tech now as its been sold. )

I asked them to join me on the original thread which started the project (for the inauguration) not one of
them did. I tried, but when you have this kind of animosity there isn't much one can do.





^come on bro let's make this right!  Cool

This is a great fact.

thanks for the reply. most of the times people reply something like: "why would every millionaire want a bitcoin?"  but it is fact and it doesnīt matter how much $ they would want want to pay for that one bitcoin. there will never be enough, even when worth a million $...  Wink

Perhaps one day a bitcoin will be to the rich like a single share of BRK.A stock.  I'm sure those shares are likely highly coveted now amongst them.  

My father talks all the time about how he and his friends in the early 90s would moan that a single BRK.A share was "overpriced" and "overvalued" at mid- quadruple digits... then watched in horror as the shares went into mid- quintuple digits just a decade later.  Now they are at $240K/ share, LOL.

My dad's also salty about passing on heavily investing in Microsoft in the 80's.

I only remember your diesel generator in the woods stories. You don't talk too much aboot your daily life in Toronto.

I have dual citizenship: country slicker and city bumpkin.

That's one of the reasons for my higher than average security measures. People know I'm often away for days or weeks at a time.

I'll assume your misspelling of "about" was a typo. It makes you sound like an American hillbilly though.

They seem to think that if you don't pronounce "about" as "a-bay-owt" that you're talking about footwear.  Grin

This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on Friday, January 27th 2017 unless the average daily trade volume for the last 14 days exceeds 0.5 BTC. If you would like to keep the market listed, please encourage the development team to contact us at support@bittrex.com.

A cryptocurrency which is fully controlled by a nation state is just a national currency.
And banks do the job good and cheap enough for fiat transfers.

There wont be any chinacoin...

There will, and it's a terrifying idea in the hands of a country that is perfectly at home practising wide-scale internet surveillance and censorship.

Why would they need a crypto for it if they can do the same with less expenses?
If you look at capital controls, aml, kyc it will only get worst and china has much more play room then western democracies in this regard.

I can only imagine a chinacoin if it is a undercover operation by the chinese government where they have full control in secret.

actually it would be interesting  to see a state actor implement a fractional reserve type coin

all Fiat will be on the bank developed blockchains soon
