Is there anyone who can beat bitcoin from existing altcoins?
The prices of some altcoins are very low. It is very easy to mining for these altcoins. Is it possible to have a altcoin that could explode suddenly?
I tend to agree with John McAfee who predicted this week in a video interview that in 2 years Bitcoin have just 25% of the total crypto marketcap. It's tough to predict which currency will be the first to pass, but once it does happen, we should always remember with fondness our friend Bitcoin who opened the door and made all of this wonderful craziness possible.

Most at the time when i read bitcoin topic related articles they lack of facts and analysis, i think more people would agree. I would like to follow thread in Bitcointalk.org forum where members share only valuable, interesting content.
Be honest and add most interesting, valuable content you have found. Any promotional and self interest posts will be deleted.
It might not be the most interesting, but my favorite "thread" on bitcointalk.org is Satoshi's post history. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts;start=520

Very interesting! Thanks for posting this.
Yes. This is a very interesting list! Nice to see Goldcoin at #26. We'll try to improve on that ranking over the coming months.

So my advice would be to hard fork in 2MB blocks. This would buy us a little more time to further test and study emerging off-chain solutions.
You're saying it as it was as easy as pushing the button. From what we can see it's not even possible to soft fork. Hard forks are totally out of question. The market doesn't want it and we may be stuck with 1MB blocks forever. Hard forks should never be "out of the question." They are needed for the currency to grow, to adapt, and to evolve.

bitcoin will never ne real money for future because it can change real money it only use at internet world at real world it cant used by people who is cant use it for example people who is cant access internet, so they still use real money and use traditional way to make a transaction
Bitcoin is more real than any fiat currency and can be easily printed onto paper notes for use by people without internet.

In order for Bitcoin to remain strong and healthy the main chain must be kept unthrottled. It's okay if we develop off-chain solutions like Lightning, but they should "supplement and relieve" traffic not be a substitute for on-chain capacity.
As these technologies are tested and developed, the main chain will naturally get relief. But the main chain should always have ample capacity for those that wish to use it. So my advice would be to hard fork in 2MB blocks. This would buy us a little more time to further test and study emerging off-chain solutions.

What factors will satisfy us that blockchain technology is on track for realizing its potential?
Because as of now we see very little in the way of commercial and user engagement...
This discussion would need to be broken into 2 types of blockchains: public and private. A public blockchain with a token based mining system is where the greatest potential lies. A private blockchain is somewhat like an intranet where a public blockchain is a full-blown internet. The Bitcoin currency (a system with a public blockchain) and other cryptocurrencies will obsolete fiat money. So that in itself is a very powerful commercial application. All of the world's money will eventually make the transition from obsoleted currencies onto public blockchains. As banks make this transition, they will provide new services such as keeping the private keys for their customers. As for private blockchains, they will have real-world application, but in some respects they are simply glorified databases.

Looking to invest 1 btc in some good running ICO which is legitimate and has good potential. Do not suggest any ico just because you are a part of their signature campaign.Give a good reason please that why you think it is a good investment opportunity.
I think ICO is better for trading not investing. Most will fail, so the key is to develop a profitable exist strategy.

There is no such issue , i just got my weekly payment and more over i just purchased a game online . Everything went perfect for me . Maybe you might have not done your transactions properly or something like that. But i would like you to know that there is no problem in the block chain server. So you can just show your receipt of the purchase , or if you are not receiving something then ask that person to check his transaction log.
I would love to enter into your alternate bitcoin reality sometime.

I need to write a plugin for SMF that provides users with an "I'm only writing this fluff to get my signature displayed" ignore option. Sometimes, I get halfway through the post, then realize it's just a bunch of random thoughts strung together. I would sell it on Fiverr, but they don't accept bitcoin anymore.

It's great seeing all the renewed activity here in the announcement thread. We are also seeing increases on Skype and Facebook. In addition, I'm very pleased to announce that we've added a third senior-level developer to our core team. We're going to take this project up a notch in 2017! Got it, thx. All is well, fully synced now...
Glad you're all synced up now! We will continue monitoring this thread and providing breaking news and updates, along with the highest level of support possible.

Have similar systems been tried before the bitcoin system emerged? Is the Bitcoin system the first in this area? Was find the Blockchain system included with bitcoin? Was there any blockchain technology before?
Satoshi Nakamoto was the first person to make P2P digital cash transactions possible without the requirement of a trusted third party.

This is probably due to no chargeback issue. I see no other reason why would they stop using BTC.
Now we can start to question if BTCBTCBTC's adoption is really growing, given their reason of 'Lack of interest.' One of the main attractions of using Bitcoin before the main chain was "throttled" was low transaction fees. By choking off the main chain, the developers are allowing a fee market to develop. Now that the fees are no longer small in comparison to traditional payment processors like Paypal, it follows that consumer interest would decline at the POS transaction level.

Hello,
I would like, like everyone, that the BTC network remains decentralized
However, as the time goes on, it will become more and more expensive to run nodes. Thus only big organizations will own the blockchain on there server. They will be able to act as central banks and do what they want with it.
How to prevent that?
The cost of computer resources is dropping. The cost and effort in running a full node might be slightly above the average consumer's comfort zone but there will always be an ample number of nodes to keep the network decentralized. The greatest risks moving forward would be a developing fee market, a throttled main chain, and over regulation. Most likely we will be able to survive those threats which will result in the banks transitioning from fiat currencies into managing the private keys of customer accounts.
