if the electric car is lunched there will be more change.

no air pollution and no worry's about price of petrol or diesel. 
How so?
A lot of countries use coal to generate electric, then there are multiple loses along the way.

The first electric locomotive was built in 1837. History of electric cars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_electric_vehicle a proven failure for over 100 years.

What is happening with the Bitcoin SV for now? I caught a glimpse of this coin that has a pretty good potential to be the center of attention.
 Please share your opinion, to answer my curiosity today. Thank you very much and goodluck.
Potential for what? just another shitty coin that created by a liar. I believe satoshi still alive and that guy is very well known as faketoshi can't avoid the fact that if he is not satoshi nakamoto. Read this news https://cointelegraph.com/news/hodlers-digest-nov-26dec-2-satoshi-makes-a-new-friend-buterin-gets-negative-over-centralized-blockchains
Sell your bsv for btc.
There are so many possibilities, I can believe about what you said because we see now that many people claim about Satoshi Nakamoto, but there is no strong evidence that he is Satoshi. And secondly, I can trust BSV is really the coin Satoshi wants. However, apart from that, we cannot ensure the right or wrong to invest in cryptocurrency, everything is so complicated to understand. Bearish time is still snoring, we will see when the bull run comes the real Satoshi Nakamoto will choose which one.

There is 0% chance Craig Wright is Satoshi, but i am 100% certain he knows him or is in contact.

There are thousands of cryptocoins, long therm only 2 will be deflationary forever and aswith a Store of Value (SoV) Satoshi version and Gold version.
Inflation, like fiat or 99% of cryptocoins year after year it loses value.
Bitcoin Segregated Witness (the slave version) will have the next fork when backward compatibility stops and another fork when supply is changed to unlimited, which is on the cards.

I do not want to seem very rude to you, but I understand that just like me, most people still will not have the desire to buy this fork today, because it seems to me that there is absolutely no point in these forks.
Your knowledge in crypto is looking every so often at Coinmarkedcap at thats about it. Completely clueless, probably never heard of Satoshi.
805  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any chance that XRP can defeat BTC? on: January 17, 2019, 02:16:31 PM
That certified xrp scam already has if you belief the rigged numbers Ripple Inc provides.
As of today there are 58,951,319,769 unsold xrp and price is $0,326
Today there is 3,513,663 unsold (not mined) Bitcoins and price is $3632

To buy all remaining it would cost you at todays price $19,267,944,109 for all outstanding xrp and only $12,761,624,016 for all outstanding Bitcoin (Segregated witness version).

"Bitcoin SV"?
it's BCH SV and to be honest... These forks are going no where, Just another avenue for the lucky BCH holders to dump what they earned out of the forks and move on.
I agree that fundamentals are close to 0, but it is a coin by a company with hundreds of employees and billions to spend.
I don't think crypto enthusiasts will ever touch this garbage, but Calvin & Craig will find a way to pump it.
Sold at $100, I think my entry point is around $50.
You confusing Bitcoin Cash with Satoshies Version of original Bitcoin as in the whitepaper defined,
Bitcoin Cash most likely will go Bankrupt.
Bitcoin SV is old hard core Bitcoiners sticking to the way it was designed, Peer to Peer and max coins forever 21 Milllion.
Bitcoin 3rd party Segregated Witness version in in transformation stage to become currency. Lightning more or less is minable version of xrp, have to establish banking connection before you can sent. As a shop i can refuse your payment.

The 21 million limit and block reward reductions are not set in stone. All it takes is consensus and these things can be changed.

Have fun forking into oblivion.
No question there will be a fork when backward compatibility stops and another when the 21 mil limit changes to endless.
You end up with endless coins and fork after fork.

Bitcoin SV sticks Hardcore to 21 mil limit and peer to peer a logical and sensible backup.

when firing into the air, when it comes down its just at normal falling speed as its expended all its energy on the way up. wont hurt anymore than a pebble of equivalent weight falling on you.

Yeah. Common misconception that a bullet travels just as fast on the way down as on the way up.

Then again, 230 grains with a BC of about 1/4 at terminal velocity would still be unpleasant.

Most probably not deadly at all plus the human density is pretty low in comparison to free space even in densely habited areas.

Parabolic arcs (ie 45 degrees) are way more dangerous... and still the above applies.
So far managed to evade all deadly rain and hail.

I am just amazed no bank CEO got sacked yet of failing to buy shittons of scam xrp. Banks are at the forefront signing agreements with Ripple Inc. and at the same time not buy a single xrp. How long will bank shareholders allow this to happen before calling for resignation of incompetent leader at the helm of the bank for failing to make quadzillons of profit for the bank. Can it be Bank managers had making money?  Cheesy

You, sir (and I beg your pardon if I sound rude, not my intention), have not done your research and do not understand what Ripple is trying to do.

Read up on xCurrent, xRapid and everything that comes along to understand the various services institutions and/or banks can utilize.

XRP is NOT being promoted actively, so to speak, it is a "bonus" to the ILP that enables users to save even more money.

Go read up so you don't post silly things Wink
I could not care less what Ripple Inc tries to do.
I do know they sell near worthless xrp.
Only in extreme circumstance Ripple Inc uses xrp.
95% of the time they have no use for it.

It is obvious you a totally clueless when it comes to cryptocurrencey. Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) is designed to sent from person to person without the need of a money graphing middleman. Thousands o currencies exist and can do it. I dont need to read up on xhocus pocus.

I had seen some posts about diyng Ripple like cryptocurrency. I don't know is it real true but I'm sure that now it is very perspective and one of the top coins in market.
I am more than confident that the banking system will never leave the financial arena of the world, and this project is very strongly associated with banks and therefore will have prospects for the future.

813  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Coins are a great LONG-TERM investment ???? on: January 14, 2019, 05:53:10 PM
If some one has plan to invest for long term like for one or two years ................
Long term one year?? Funny, lol.

Since when is a currency an investment with a build in guarantee of ~2% inflation loss.  Currency dealers have been trading for hundreds of years.
If it is secured cryptographic, with watermark or jo blows signature makes no difference unless it is deflationary by nature like Bitcoin.
Stocks, Property, Shares, Gold, Silver,  ...... are investments they may go down in value but by default to not have a build in loss of 2% every year.
814  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 14, 2019, 08:44:55 AM


if you only had a window into price in $ and NOTHING else, it would be an insufficient info, obviously.
...

Yes...and $$ inflation highlights just one example in which the future price snapshot has little value.

Say also that you find out the price on date x would be $200. What action can you take right now ?

How can you know if the structure of BTC will be the same ? How can you know what fork can have happened, and whether consensus has changed the issuance of units ? What if the price was $20000 just  a few months after your chosen date, for unknown technical reasons ?

..and that is just the guesses we can make. How about the unknown unknowns ?
The structure want be the same. For starters backward compatibility will stop at some time, max supply will change. That Chinese Government Mole "Charlie" stated it several times already.
Bitcoin Cash is totally worthless in that regard as a miners controlled chain, mining rewards will be changed to satisfy greedy miners in due course.
Out of the thousand and thousand of cryptocoins truly deflationary will be maybe two chains, Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin Gold, the only backups at hand.

Also at 12 miles offshore you might still be in the Thai EEZ:   https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Thailand-Exclusive-Economic-Zone-EEZ-and-shelf-waters-of-200-m_fig1_308879259

Just move to the Caymans - zero tax.  

At a guess this is a similar price as the seastead - here is a modest house on the waterfront  for US$360k.

Country border is at 12 nautical miles, fishing rights extend to 200 miles. (No other country can commercially fish in the zone)
There would not be any sailing vessels cruising the oceans if piracy is real such an issue.


Edit:
Did have a quick check up and some country still use old 3 nautical mile rule.
At the end of the day it is a matter of economics what does it cost to enforce it. Tax collection is cheap in city and not economical with a days hike or drive in remote desert location.

And what about the spread of PM's.... you buy some gold/silver today and you sell it tomorrow to someone else losing like 20%. And that is in ideal circumstances. WTF?!

I like PM's, they did fill some niche in the recent past, but I don't see them in the future at all or maybe just as a way smaller niche.
Silver your only real choice is to sell private, ebay or what ever your local website for buy/sell stuff.  A lot of hassle.
Dealer is not an option depending on the tax in the area but you need like a 25% price increase to come out in front.

Gold, most dealers you walk in will pay you 98% of spot price, however recently some dealers have tried to pay only "scrap" price if the coin/bar has not the piece of paper with identical number one the coin/bar with it.
Metals nearing the use-by date. Dumped most, stuck with the Silver. Oh well may come in handy one day (as a doorstop).

This is what I use:
https://imgflip.com/i/2qxztc

Yeah, cost me $3718.

In fact nearly $20k at one point...

Here is what I use:



Cost me a few satoshis and I've been saving my bitcoins on it since last year. I don't see the point of hardware wallets if you are in bitcoin to hodl them.

To spend them actively i would still use my iphone for the job insead of hw wallets since I would carry my wealth in a paper wallet and my play money on my phone. But most importantly, it is just easier with a phone.

To me money spent on hw wallets is a waste. I would buy more crypto instead.

It's really all about the value of the amount you are storing, and therefore the risk.

Paper wallet is fine for smaller amounts, but...
- Where do you store the paper wallet safely
- What happens if you are burgled and the thief steals the wallet (wether or not they know what to do with it)
- Where do you store a backup, (and increase the risk of compromise)?
- What happens if your house burns down?
- Something gets split on the wallet and obscures the ink.
- 3 Years later, and you've simply lost the wallet, or thrown it out accidentally.
- When you spend the wallet and enter the address into a computer, are you 100% sure that computer is totally free from trojans/viruses, an attacker could   steal the funds on the happy day when you cash-out.

These risks are small (ish) but if you had $100k or $100m, they would be much more important.

A paper wallet requires multiple diverse location copies, but each copy increases the risk of theft, and you need to trust someone else to look after other copies (family?)
So you can securely split the secret (Shamir's secret splitting https://iancoleman.io/shamir/) , you can then choose how many parts of the total eg. 2 of 3 are needed to reconstruct the private key,
Then split it - 1 copy with a good friend or your lawyer, 1 with a family member, and 1 in your safe.
As its 2 of 3, 1 person can lose their key and its not a problem, and both the family member and friend need to collude to steal you coins.
You could of course increase this from 2 of 3 to any value such as 4 of 7, whatever makes sense to you.

When you come to spend the paper wallet, you should use a clean machine, install a new version of the OS ,and then only the wallet software.
I wouldn't use brand new software releases and I would check the authenticity of the code using release signing keys or hashes.

If you really want to do it properly, you should probably read Glacier protocol https://glacierprotocol.org/, it discusses all the risks and possible solutions, you can then cherry pick the things you think are important to you.

You want to also factor in your own death to the scheme. Making sure 'your' people know about, and can actually  get possession of the coins without you.



Just password protect "paper" wallet and make sure to remember password.
The best choice is to make your own "dog tag" and punch the numbers in some copper or aluminum.
Numbers in some arrangement, circular or staked.... on a piece of metal is of no interest in burglars unless punched in silver or gold bars.

One of the reasons for the creation of deflationary bitcoin is to escape yearly wealth loss of 2% or more because of inflation.
Bitcoins supply halving for ever in 4 year steps.
