Another obituary. Coolio.
I give credit to BTC where it's due i.e for clearing the way for the alternate cryptocurrencies. It's an achievement that will be written in the pages of history. But the reality is that newer cryptos are speeding past it and it's just a matter of time (maybe a few months or even less) before the king is dethroned. Do you really believe those alts hold any value? I mean, is your life changed by 0x or doge? or Stellar? If you are only in it for the money, then think about it well, as eventually people will start wondering where the hell are they investing on |

Dear Bitcorn,
Hi! I know, we don't talk much anymore. I'm semi-retired, and you're big time now. But listen.
We would all be really tickled if you'd stay above $16k.
Don't want to seem ungrateful, but like jojo says, we have mouths to feed. Food for thought.
Seems like it is doing the same pattern it did starting in Jan, maybe there is hope  |

I didn't read the article but.. Yes bitcoin is the devil, but ripple is oh so good and great. dipshits. Seems to me ripple is tanking right now and rally is losing steam, while the badger seems to crave some resistance blood... but maybe its just me |

Im expecting this bull run on XRP will not end before it hits $5
I thought this was the price discussion topic for bitcoin not a discussion thread for the price action of cripple. But now we're at it anyway. I hope if it does hit $5 it will be dunked to the outskirts of the sub top 100 on cmc. We still need a good meme for a legendary pump 'n dump. ha, it is way more likely to be number 1 then under 100 (ripple has always been near the top also). I wish this wasn't happening, and by all logic there should of been a dump by now. But, its not happening. I don't think this is like 2013 where the alts were literally just pump and dumps, the coins now are too mature and with ever increasing innovation. It will be very hard for BTC to maintain its dominance. I think what we are seeing at the moment, is that BTC is now just becoming another coin, it may not lose it's top place this time, but it will happen eventually. Nah what we see here is banks trying to take over the space. I don't think ripple will go away anytime soon, these guys are not Roger Ver... Can pump XRP for a lot longer I bought some XRPs with my play money, but I'll probably hodl my BTC stash till 0 - unfortunately they figured out that people greed is the best tool to beat BTC Edit so I don't look like a bear: I think there is still a good chance we get out of the top resistance and push up, same greed/fomo that has driven the alts surge might move BTC high |

I have decided that Ripple random shitcoin is an attack on Bitcoin the same as Bcash other random shitcoin. They are trying to scare holders into selling by wash trading a Flippening. Don’t fall for it.
FTFY. They've been trying this lame 'flippening scare' tactic for over a year now, because they are all fresh out of other shitactics. Pumping random garbage will never work. The Bitcoin community has matured and can see through the bullshit. Wallstreet desperately needs more bitcoin supply to play their con games with the public, and there just isn't much available. So they are desperate to get existing holders to part with their bitcoin. They want them to make rookie trading mistakes, divest into a myriad of shitcoins, or just get frustrated and sell... whatever they can do to shake people out. It doesn't appear to be working. This is also my belief. There is a very low quantity of circulating Bitcoin. If you can create FOMO and generate an order book full of buyers wanting your crapcoin, you then wait for the right moment then dump en-masse generating a large quantity of Bitcoin for yourself and a large number of ‘successful’ traders. I notice that the more reputable alts are not pumping as hard as the blatant scams. ...Except that this time they are getting close to BTC market cap. It has passed 50% now and is on the way to be 100% sometime next week I am surprised how media was quick saying btc is a bubble yet nobody says anything about ripple |

It is a public db. There are nodes which relay candidate transactions and also special validator nodes which use an iterative process to come to a consensus on candidate transactions that will be included in the ledger. I believe the nodes hash the resulting set of candidate transactions and compare the hashes among themselves until there is a supermajority in agreement. There is no reward for running a node or a validator node.
So much for cryptos... a non-crypto is kicking our ass right now. Let's wait and see... |

as long as the network congestion/high-fees aren't resolved, bitcoin will not move anywhere - currently ripple does up to 1500tx/s with low-fees btc and eth are currently mostly gateway coins premined does not mean "not decentralized", IOTA and Cardano have interesting concepts let alone the fact that botcoin and his brother buttcoin are also centralized through China-SHA256 and extremly resource hungry who do you think will own the master-nodes for LN?  the problem is the distribution of the coins for the premined projects, i guess the creators have the most, but that is also a problem with btc and early adopters currently btc can't cope with much more new users - a price of 50k$ is not justified will you pay 100$ transaction fee? - i wanted to buy some cardano and converted my btc to eth before transaction inb4 ripple shiller: i sold my stash at 20ct Ripple is a company run by few individuals with unlimited cap and blah blah. I dont know of anybody mining ripple... It is just like a tokenized visa, makes little sense to me Ripple cannot be mined and if anybody tells you differently, they're trying to rip ple you off. So how the hell are transactions validated? Seems to me like it is just a public db |

Maybe I am wrong... but I suspect the ripple boom is partly due to people hedging against a possible bull trap on bitcoin. If I am right, once we pass the critical zone we are in for a serious ride...

Make another failed prediction to make the thread shine again
Another fake Satoshi is presented Got enough of those! We need predictions! Give me one (roughly) right of the price by end of this week (Sun) and I'll stop nagging you |

The quality of this thread right now:  Make another failed prediction to make the thread shine again |

Roach has some valid points
It takes energy to extract gold and silver, from burning fossil fuels. Peak oil also = peak gold and silver you can't magic it out the ground without expending the work. 'Proof or work' in bitcoin was based on that principle. There is no magic surplus going to arrive from outer space.
Also as per recent comments a few pages back. Lightning Network, I have also concluded is a banking layer plonked on top of bitcoin.
Ignoring this is akin to putting your head in the sand like an ostrich. But yeah, ignore the troll. Ignore me too. I'm used to hostility on this thread
That is because you guys talk nonsense. First of all we are going into space soon https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/08/boeing-says-it-will-beat-spacex-to-mars-elon-musk-responds-do-it.html. Once we get there, making a 'mining' ship is just easy. -Gold/Silver density will be higher in certain areas of space compared to earth, making mining a lot easier -Sun energy could be harvested since they will be closer to the sun to extract gold -Low gravity will make the extraction process probably a lot easier But you must consider that at the time you have access to more resources, the value will deflate instantly, this is why you ain't going to see any mining spaceships anytime soon, unless it is for valuable matherials (lithium?Oil?) |

Why is it that bitcoin, bitcoin cash, eth, and ripple are now all moving in the same direction. I thought they were antagonistic?
(1) They've been moving in the same direction this entire year, and longer. (2) More money is flowing into the market; 670 billion is a tiny amount of money. It needs to be trillions before any major losses. (3) There are multiple roles for coins - they need not directly compete. Truth is, sometimes they are antagonistic, and sometimes they are not. You still believe in $5500? How about $8000? Maybe it will happen, but first 20k at least. Wait, I always have to correct you people here! Tera's target has been consistently increasing by the day. We must stick with his original target of "at least 3000, possibly less" I must remind this, just in case |
