the fact that you are spending hours and hours every single day on bitcointalk bleeding from your fingers trying to spread all kinds of false information shows that you are the one who has been receiving the "bad news" not the so called bitcoiners.

i doubt that it is even possible because these values (S and N) are a lot bigger than the normal integer sizes that any basic language supports which is 64 bit while those are 256 bit so you must need an external library that provides that functionality for you.

i answered your comment in that other topic that could hopefully clear up what i meant by my comment https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5226502.msg53903812#msg53903812
the problem is when we play fast and loose with the word "circulating supply". a circulating supply means a supply that is in circulation and is accessible by the public.

here is a real world example. when ETH came out it didn't start slowly giving mining reward to miners as a PoW coin does, instead it had a gigantic premine of 72 million coins. THAT value was considered ETH's circulating supply. that is WRONG because there is nothing circulating about that.
consequently the current circulating supply of ethereum that is reported to be 109.8 million is fake. the REAL circulating supply is a lot less than that at 37 million which reduces its market cap by 66%

that is not something small that anybody could change, even if you could find a way it could take at least a century to change things because we are talking about the fundamentals of society. things that have grown deep roots in all aspects of economy and our lives. and their corruption runs just as deep. we saw how they ruined the world economy back in 2008 and absolutely nothing has changed in the past 11 years either!
we only have bitcoin now that could give us a small way to run away from their corruption.

why only show two of these so called cycles here when there are a couple more that are even bigger that took place before 2013.
in any case unfortunately nobody seems to care about it right now because price is not rising. those who know it already have been accumulating bitcoin for a long time now and don't need a reminder and the rest are not listening until we enter the bubble phase which is when they panic buy...

he doesn't own bitcoin at least not publicly. the 1 btc thing was just a ruse that the Tron owners pulled so that they could temporarily pump their shitcoin up for a while and make millions from that process.

as for Buffet himself, if it were up to him he would have never talked about bitcoin ever. the damn interviewers keep asking him

that's not how it works. the blockstream satellite still requires internet to connect to the bitcoin network. however, you as the individual user of this centralized service don't need any internet. otherwise all the nodes, the miners, pools,... need the internet to communicate with each other.
believe it or not, there is no communication medium yet created that can replace internet. everything else is either short range, heavily centralized or inefficient.

this doesn't make much sense to be honest. for starters P2WSH is used when you have a "script" that you want to pay to (like a smart contract such as multi signature scheme) not a single public key. then you have to use that script to hash and encode using bech32.

your script here is a "data" followed by a "checksig" which doesn't make any sense since your checksig is going to consume that data (the hash) and fail right away. since the top stack item is supposed to be a public key not a 20 byte hash.

additionally your push data is wrong, you are setting the size to 0x21=33 byte while your data is only 20 bytes=0x14.

ps. by the way it is best that whenever you want to write a guide like this you first double check your values with another source (like using a wallet) to see if they are correct.

you are still correct, the "circulating" supply is used in calculation of market cap not the total supply. you didn't need to go that far either, you can look at the first in the list (bitcoin) and see the circulating supply is used instead of the 21 million cap.

BUT the problem is with fake circulating supply. take one of the biggest shitcoins called XRP for example. a huge percentage of the supply they claimed to be "circulating" is instead locked up in their own wallets. so it is unreal. a lot of others like ethereum are also like this with huge premines.

the problem is that the real experts will never waste their time spreading their "predictions" and analysis of the market to the public because there is no benefit in it for them. only those who have no skills in the market itself and need other ways to make money start releasing their so called "predictions" all over the internet.
otherwise if you could find a real expert and consult them you'll see how different your views of the market would become.

everyone is suggesting block explorers here but that doesn't make any sense. of course OP's question doesn't make much sense either but the obvious answer in my opinion is that you use your wallet!
simply open your wallet, if you have received/sent a transaction then it should show up in your history. then clicking on each transaction should give you more information such as their state (confirmed, how many, which block,...) the amount you sent/received,... if your wallet doesn't do that then change your wallet.

it will greatly depend on how it is implemented and the little description that OP included seems like the target is more of younger generation rather than adults.
and hatshepsut93  is correct, adults don't play game to learn stuff. they play for entertainment. for example you'd play Call of Duty to have fun and won't learn anything!

i think you may be overthinking it. most of those who are holding "millions of dollars worth of bitcoin" do not own those coins and they are holding them on some other people(s) demand. for example the exchanges, payment processors, gambling sites,... and those who actually own a lot of bitcoin are only a handful. so percentage wise you can still be in the top richest bitcoin holders.

just like it was never possible to predict the previous ATH to be at $20k when it was below $900, it is not possible to predict the next ATH when it is still $9000.
first the rise has to start, then the FOMOs has to begin then the bubble has to start building up and finally maybe during the last month of the long cycle we could come up with a much closer guess which still wouldn't be accurate.
you "predicting" it now is only making you look bad and naive...

if you really want to give such a big reward then maybe you should create an additional transaction and put the entire 1 bitcoin reward in that new transaction itself instead of the current smaller reward of 0.27 bitcoin that the tx in your first post offers.

true, but also our judgement of their platform is our right. if this puzzle were an unsolvable shady one that after a lot of advertisement suddenly some anonymous person claims the reward or more precisely moves the coins then we would consider it as fraud

what some statistics tell you people believe doesn't matter. 100% of them could believe something happen and that thing can still not happen or vice versa.

that is not true at all. bitcoin transactions have never been dependent on centralized exchanges and will never be. bitcoin remains the same decentralized currency that doesn't need any third party to be "transferred". nowadays people choose centralized exchanges to trade bitcoin and dump their fiat for bitcoin but the transactions still remain independent.

just another garbage altcoin

i just want to say something that some people may have forgotten already that relates to this topic. not so long ago lots of people were also standing by their $1000 predictions claiming that price should fall down that much even when it was rising every month setting a new record. it was 2018 and 2019 by the way...

they already have a good reply with understandable reasons and let me give you yet another reason with a different perspective. you must not even want to use a cryptography library for any cryptocurrency unless you want to open yourself to a lot of attack surface!

all these crypto libraries including "swift-crypto" are defined to do cryptography for general purpose, but the cryptography used in bitcoin (and by all its copies like ethereum,...) is special purpose. for example look at Open SSL which is the most popular crypto library. it was used in bitcoin core and was the source of a lot of bugs in bitcoin none of which even matter in general use like SSL encryption in your browser with certificates,...

look at BIP62 for a bunch of these issues!

well in an anarchy everyone starts creating their own rules and follow them instead. for example if you trade with someone and they don't honor their commitment you go to their house and murder them. and since there is no law, you get away with it.

but we don't live in an anarchy and there are laws. such high value trades could happen with a legal contract that obligates the other party to honor certain commitments otherwise have legal precausions for them.

yes it did. it removed any need for a third party to send/receive money. everything else (such as receiving goods) is up to you and any third party you want and it has nothing to do with bitcoin.

it is not as good as you may think. being honest for 100 times doesn't guarantee honesty for the 101st time.
if you don't believe me google Mt Gox, Cryptsy, Bittrex, ... and a dozen other exchanges that were honest for years then suddenly scammed lots of users.
