1  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: 9 anos de Bitcoin. Há quanto tempo você já usa a moeda? on: December 04, 2017, 01:50:46 AM
Eu primeiro soube sobre isso em 2013, mas infelizmente não inventei até a semana passada. Antes tarde do que nunca!

I'm not sure about the medical records thing, but I see a lot of potential in the platform for training machine learning algorithms. Today all this coin mining going on is such a waste of resources. It would be great if those resources were spent in useful computations for society.

Have you considered offering a more general platform, not necessarily linked to medical, that offers researchers/companies compute power that they can just pay to use (like a cloud that uses the miner's machines), and people with the right hardware would have a way to rent out their compute power when not used?

Buy BTC while it's still cheap. Don't worry if you buy at $8k or $11k, it will make little difference in the long term. This is unlike any phenomenon the world has seen before and we humans are unable to make sense of it yet, but BTC is only going up. Remember this when the price hits $1M in just a few years. That if the USD is even worth anything by then. You're welcome.

The block reward gets lower and lower over time, until it smoothly (jumps by half each time) reaches zero over 100+ years. I think the real question is: what happens when the block reward becomes "too low"?

My opinion is that over time, bitcoin is becoming more and more valuable, so the block reward becoming lower (measured in BTC) over time is not a problem because the value is still the same or growing.

The fees, which we don't consider very valuable for miners today, will only become more and more expensive. At some point in the future, it will only make sense to transfer huge amounts of value using bitcoin, because of the fees, and at that point those fees will be incredibly rewarding to miners and will replace the shrinking block reward.
