Btc price prediction 40,000$ top this year.
Then 11,000$ then start of bull run year 2024 up to 100,000$ +  bull run will end 2026- 2027
By that time 100k+ is Coming for sure.

Given the... interesting way your topic title was written, how can I be sure you didn't miss or misspelled a digit here or there?  Grin Grin

While I also think that this year we may not (yet!) touch the previous ATH, your prediction seems to also be missing completely the halving we'll have next year, which afaik is not yet priced in and which should make 11k no longer be feasible (not impossible, I know, but stil...). Imho 11k would mean something very bad and would make 100k impossible for 2024. So no, no 11k. A drop after May, yes (maybes), but not so deep down.

Maybe someone's mining farm got hit with an outage or other electrical failure.

[...]

Anyways, transactions are taking days to confirm, I see. Bad news for folks who tried to pay for something to payment gateways with an expiration date.

If one sets a high enough fee, it still takes 10-20 minutes to get mined.
But I think that you've visited mempool.space in one of the (rather often lately) moments its data is off and it shows like there was nothing mined for a day. In such cases it's healthy to double check with another explorer...

I've just read today on Twitter about Bhutan mining on hydro power.
At first I was surprised. But then... indeed, Bitcoin is easy money. Some governments understand that and use it in their (and their nations') favor, most of the others... keep following the agende of their sponsors.

I'm not sure that this is specific to small nations, though in the case of small nations the influence of big banking system may not be that strong.. and that helps...
764  Economy / Economics / Re: I bought Apple stock because iPhones are garbage. on: April 29, 2023, 08:10:06 PM
I came to the conclusion that if Apple has managed to sell shit at a gold price, I wanted to be part of the deal and have bought Apple stock.

Yep, they did. Plus they use child labor and so on for cutting costs and their garbage is still getting more and more expensive.
So yes, you may have done a good deal. However... Bitcoin usually is an even better deal. Would this mean that you already have enough Bitcoins (I am not sure what that means though) and you started diversifying? Cheesy

I have a feeling the sprint qualifying is a bit too tight. And having scarce time for practicing I would expect red flags in pretty much all sprint week-ends.
And since Baku is quite narrow I expect red flag in the race too.

I was a bit disappointed by the sprint race. It was not bad, Russell added some drama, Leclerc started very good, Verstappen didn't manage to overtake him, Checo made a great (sprint) race... but the second half of it was rather boring. Or maybe it was just me, I don't know. Maybe I had too big expectations from it, it was quite a long time without sprint races...

I'm now in the Morrison's cafe, and it blocks the Bitcoin ports. Obviously they don't want customers to use Bitcoin.

I would expect the places that have hired 3rd party company as "sysadmin" would block most of the unusual ports.
It's not necessarily related to Bitcoin, but I guess that they also don't want people download torrents and other big stuff over their connection (since this also tends to make it unusable for most of the other customers in many cases, I think).

Tunneling may be the solution (although I think that's slower). But I don't know how to do that.

You've got to be kidding me... After what you've experienced from using their product, you're thinking about buying another one from Ledger! Why?

OP is historically (just look at his posts!) unsure about each and every step he makes. I think that he's also pretty much afraid of new hardware.
Based on this, picking a new Ledger Nano S plus (not Nano X!) makes sense for him. Else I would clearly go for Trezor or SeedSigner...
771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Having issues connecting electrum with bitcoin core after updating core on: April 29, 2023, 08:29:39 AM
I am comfortable with bitcoin core acting as my node and giving info to softwares like bisq, electrum.

Electrs will be just a "blanket" over your own BitcoinCore node, so imho it's not such a paradigm shift.
But it's really up to you. I can't help with more than this, maybe others can.
772  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Having issues connecting electrum with bitcoin core after updating core on: April 29, 2023, 08:24:45 AM
Probably not the answer you're expecting, but since the last development in that plugin was 2 years ago, it may be significantly less effort for you to just use Electrs (or blockstream's fork in case you want to use it out of your LAN) as server.

And if you skip the few Windows specifics, this topic shows you the steps for installing Electrs.
773  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What will a mixer do under the mentioned situation? on: April 29, 2023, 07:08:57 AM
1. Do mixers know where they're getting a deposit from?
2. If yes, will they co-operate here with the officials and let them know about the deposit?
3. If they do, how will they stop the scammer from moving his funds out of their mixer?

Since the mixers are operating in the gray area - let's be honest, at least in theory they protect privacy of both honest users and possibly money launderers too - they may simply not care where the money comes from. Of course, this is probably the official reason some mixers are targeted by law enforcement too (and it's better to honestly say "I didn't care, so I didn't know").

On the other hand, a mixer is just a private business as any. The mixer owner may take certain steps without announcing that (from locking and returning the stolen funds to keeping track of the transactions), but, since such things can hurt the image of a mixer, we will never know a mixer's real stance on that.

So I think that you're expecting too much.

774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: April 29, 2023, 06:45:34 AM
I've missed the qualifying, but I've just seen the highlights ( https://youtu.be/7QFluV5wV4I ) and:
* it looks like we might have an interesting race between RBR, Ferrari, Merc and Aston
* I find interesting the performance improvement McLaren has shown, but it may be only caused by the slow corners of the city circuit

Today is sprint race day, I'm looking forward to that. Since everybody had a lot less time to practice and configure the cars.. it may be interesting (and obviously the race too).
775  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Free Satoshis? BTC "Faucet" In 2023 on: April 28, 2023, 02:53:16 PM
The very small amounts the faucets give is not the only problem. One has to also be careful with the withdrawals because if your wallet has a lot of inputs it can become very expensive to spend or consolidate them.
Plus it's not uncommon the faucets not allowing the withdrawals (hence scam).

I will add that I don't think that trying to earn from faucets worth the money one would spend on electricity for the device he will use for browsing there.

PS. If one is paid for reading/learning, it's already better than the rest though.

Sincer as vrea minerii de azi sa fie bancherii de maine, nu invers.

Ar fi fain, dar din pacate bancherii au suficienta hartie tiparita, iar vasta majoritate a minerilor pare mai mult decat bucuroasa sa-si vanda monezile pentru acea hartie tiparita.

Feels good to dream  Grin

Da, e frumos... dar eu am incercat sa stau pe variantele care par sa aiba sanse cat de cat.
Na, sper sa ma insel/sa fiu prea negativist... dar pentru ca bitcoinerii sa ia locul bancherilor de azi ar trebui ceva masiv sa se intample. Revolta? Poate. Dar decembrie '89 mi-a aratat ca uneori chiar si o revolutie va schimba niste lupi cu alti lupi, iar noi ramanem tot oi...
777  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Electrum server on Windows: Fulcrum on: April 28, 2023, 02:03:24 PM
Hello! I just started syncing the data. I am just wondering, what am I syncing actually? What does my electrum server need to download?

Bitcoin Core downloads/synchronizes the blockchain. You'll need half a terra for that nowadays, btw.
The Electrum Server will get Bitcoin Core's data and creates a database on top of that for easy retrieval of various things your wallet or a block explorer (!) would need.
Depending on how it uses the data, I guess that an Electrum server can also survive without txindex (just the sync could be slower), depending on what data it gets from Bitcoin Core and what it stores.

ok, so I guess that's why I need txindex=1 in bitcoin core conf file

Well, Fulcrum specifically asks for txindex to be 1.
778  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where do I keep crypto after buying it? on: April 28, 2023, 01:39:01 PM
I am truly impressed when people come asking the right questions. Very nice!

If I want to buy crypto, then I believe I have to go to a broker or an exchange (assuming I don't know someone who wants to sell me some). So I've got to pay them. Are they regulated enough that I can be confident that they won't just run off with my money once I've paid them? Can I pay be credit card? Then, once I have bought from the broker or exchange, do they transfer the crypto to a wallet that I control? Or do they keep the crypto in their own wallet as a custodian? If so, again, how can I trust them?

You have to keep your eyes open, since the space is full of scammers, some even claiming to be good businesses (or even impersonating such businesses).
So you have to do a proper research on where you buy your coins from and pick a business/method that has already passed the test of time.

And indeed, you have to make sure you withdraw the coins to your own custody, just this means yet another learning curve, since it has plenty of security implications.
If you don't have computer management/install skills or the amount of cash you want to spend on buying coins is 4 digits or more I recommend you just do a quick research and buy a hardware wallet, they're the easiest path for "safe enough" self-custody.

It worth mentioning here that some exchanges may offer you (cheaper) bitcoin withdrawals on other chains (usually BSC or ETH). Beware, those are not bitcoins, those are altcoins ("wrapped" bitcoins) and I would stay away of those.

Also, is there an advantage to buying from a broker over buying on an exchange?

Some ask for KYC and not everybody wants to give that out.
Then the known exchanges have quite some not-so-small withdrawal fees (they falsely call them transaction or network fees, but it's more than that), hence if somebody buys small amounts sometimes the brokers come out cheaper (although the price is bad/expensive, if we consider/add the withdrawal fee too then it may come out cheaper).

It may worth mentioning that both those tutorials are made for local use (server and Electrum on same computer).
So for accessing it from mobile that may need a little more configuration.
