401  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How many Max supply of Ethereum there will ever will be? on: September 16, 2020, 09:27:36 PM
Vitalik Buterin doesn't want to fix the Ethereum supply. I think it's like compared to gold. We unlimited supply can't be worthless to invest. From thousands of years ago to now, we still don't know the supply of gold but are still valuable. We are waiting for something. When we get it, we think that was valueless work.

Huh  Huh Theres no infinite supply of Gold.



Currently Eth is POW and its changing to Eth 2.0 POS.

Whats the max supply of Eth 2.0 there ever will be?

If theres no max supply then Eth is just like fiat money right where many tokens can be created or will Eth will say unlimited supply but not inflationary but in slow gradual inflation?

According to some info, the increment in coins would be about 10% a year which would be perfectly fine for a utility token. With increase in adoption and coins being lost with time, it is a more practical solution than limiting the supply. Though don't imagine Ethereum going x10 in price and giving a good investment profit as it's a utility token and it needs to keep it's transaction cheap and quick.

So you saying Ethereum annual inflation rate is 10% like fiat paper currency that has no capped supply?

Does a utility token such as Eth really requires lots of supply of it?



Thats like a 100 page document that will take me all day to read.

Press CTRL + F and find the key words you need. By looking up "supply", here's some Q&A I found:
Quote
Q: How is the status of a possibly fixed eth supply at some point in the future? Do you think it's likely?

A: I don't know about fixed ETH supply, but we may get to a point of decreasing ETH supply. Indeed, we are looking into transaction fee schemes that burn ETH, and burnt ETH may outweigh minted ETH. [Justin Drake]
Quote
**Q: Do you have any final plans in mind about the current ETH inflation?

A: Nothing final. Ultimately the community will have to make a tradeoff between low inflation and high security. See https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/issues/251. [Justin Drake]

So Justin Drake is saying Eth supply can be capped but the Eth network security will be weak then?

Your question remembers me the two topics below.

I read many times, no conclusions about (Ethereum maximum supply).
I don't want to go deeper into your question, but a few hints below, maybe, can solve your doubts.

Recently, I did realise that Ethereum does not have a maximum supply like other notable coins such as bitcoin.

     

Apparently, even Ethereum Cofounder Vitalik Buterin thought that Ether total supply wouldn't go past 100M at-least for a decade, but due to the popularity of the network, the 100M mark has already been surpassed. So last year on 1st April, he  proposed the cap of total ether at 120M , Not sure whether it was because Ether price had started tanking due to the bull ran hangover or it was an April fools day prank  Grin Grin

But anyways the proposal hasn't been implemented yet and to me, without a maximum supply, I see a risk of Ether's value not growing as expected or even deflation of its value as more coins come into circulation.

My question is, would Ether's price be much higher than it is today if it had a maximum supply cap from the very beginning like Bitcoin?

Topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114738

Topic: Topic: Ethereum - Total supply, POS and future price?

So theres more than 100 milion Ether in circulation now and that 120 million cap proposal was just a april fools joke?



It's better if you read ethereum 2.0 AMA and all of the questions about the supply cap has already mentioned too.
https://docs.ethhub.io/other/ethereum-2.0-ama/

That's true of the supply will not determined but as a subtitution and there will be a burn mechanism that will be using by ethereum.

Thats like a 100 page document that will take me all day to read.

If the supply cap has already been mentioned like you stated then please kindly remind us what that cap is?

Then you go on to say that supply will not be determined Huh but instead there will be a burn mechanism.

So basically ethereum is like a fire that will forever burn in a forest with infinite of trees/wood to throw at the fire?

I will try to make it more simple

Here's an important point about the supply

You can also try to see the interview about the supply cap of ethereum with vitalik here

https://coinmarketcap.com/headlines/news/ethereum-supply-vitalik-buterin/

Even vitaliks says that if that's still a rough estimation and it's not yet fixed

JD as a part of ethereum foundation didn't even know about how exactly the rough number of supply cap for ethereum which mean only god vitalik that knows it.

some parties were also predicting the max supply of ethereum will be around 112,000,0000. but we have already passed this today

https://twitter.com/marcandu/status/1291840343047118854


Do you mean One Billion & One Hundred Twenty Million?

I just like to know whether there will be a cap for Eth 2.0?

Okay so the next year 2021 trend wont be CBDC's as they are still in work in progress and too early for them to be released next year? Maybe they will be the trend for 2022/2023 right?

So what you guys think the tends for 2021 will be?

DeFi bubble now looks burst.

Ethereum supply is not cap and I believe it is because of the change to POS, with POS their must be an annual inflation and this figure has not yet been finalised. It is not an issue provided the demand for Ethereum continue to be on the rise

When do you think it will be finalised?

Sure Ethereum is ranked 2 as it has utility and thousands of altcoins depend on it for smart contracts which gives it value however if theres a infinite unlimited supply of Eth then how is it really valued when theres infinite of them available?

Why do miners do Proof of Work for something that has a unlimited supply  Huh
406  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How many Max supply of Ethereum there will ever will be? on: September 09, 2020, 10:21:33 PM
Eth 2.0 will announce the final supply also the model will be adjusted to be deflationary as the project will use a percentage of revenues to buy back and burn eth from market so eth 2.0 will be seriously a game changer for eth in this aspect too.

When do you think they will announce the final limited cap supply before they upgrade to Eth 2.0?

How can they burn tokens if they are capped in Eth 2.0? Wont that be wasting Ether similarly like the BTC network is burning BTC coins making it even more rare than 21 million and if the burning continues they wont be any BTC left unless its a unlimited supply like fiat.

Confusing please explain.



Supply is very important factor and that is why eth is still valued less than what it should be right now. Current model is unfortunately inflationary with no supply limits I hope it will be changed to finite supply soon.

If theres no cap to Eth supply in Eth 1.0 then Eth price now is way overvalued right? Theres even a cap to Ripple XRP in the billions or trillion however unlimited supply is more worse than this.

407  Economy / Economics / Re: Yearly >Trendy< Crypto Markets, Is Crypto becoming like Tech Fashion? on: September 09, 2020, 09:56:39 PM
Greetings,

Theres this yearly new trend I keep noticing in the crypto markets, where these trendy coins have their own bull market till its not trendy no more:

- 2017 = ICO's

- 2018 = STO's

- 2019 = IEO's

- 2020 = De-Fi


In the Tech markets old tech never comes back as we all know. We all know the Sony Walkman hasn't come back and tech gets outdated quickly.

So the questions are can outdated trends in Crypto markets can come back in normal overall bull and bear market cycles?

Lastly what you guys think what Crypto Trend will be popular for 2021 next year? Privacy coins?


It does not really matter what is the next trend you need to stay away from those fads and only invest in good long term projects, I know that many people get excited over those projects because they want to earn a lot of money in a short amount of time but as experience has showed us time and time again that is in fact the way to lose a lot of money relatively fast and never get it back.

This brings the question in what we can invest and that is without a doubt a very easy question to answer, only invest in solid projects that have been around the market for years and that are not scams, coins like bitcoin and ethereum are good investments and you can easily double your money without the risk those coins entail.

So you saying 2020, the year of the DeFi trend is a scam and Decentralised Finance coins have no future at all?

Decentralised Finance sounds wonderful that is taking back control from the centralised banks and governments worldwide which is good for the people. So how does this sound like a scam?

Who registered the domain name bitcoin.org back on 18th Aug 2008?
If the domain wasn't registered by Satoshi then most likely it was registered by Sirius - (Martti Malmi). Likely you will fund few more information here.

Quote
Bitcoin.org was originally registered and owned by Bitcoin's first two developers, Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti Malmi.
We can just assume someone from both of them registered the domain, but of course, most probably they had used the latest technology to hide their real identity. And based on that, I can say Bitcoin is truly decentralized since even it doesn't have an official website.

No one could give you exact answers about Satoshi's motives, better search Google and get some ideas.

Martti Malmi owns this forum website yeah?

Well we know Martti Malmi identity but we dont know Satoshi.



Whats this Original Bitcoin and this BTC? Are they different coins with different visions at the beginning or there was a hard fork or something?

Is bitcoin or BTC truly decentralised? Who registered the domain name bitcoin.org back on 18th Aug 2008?

Does Japan have any archives or medical records of Satoshi Nakamoto? Japan is always known to be a advanced tech country so surely there must be some trace of Satoshi electronically or on paper trace if hes really old. Whats Japan authorities saying on this? Its near impossible to just vanish without trace in these times of technology where your traces are easily recorded somewhere unless Satoshi was a hacker and wiped himself clean from govt. databases leaving no trace fearing the current Zionist worldwide financial system will come after him or something.

Or satoshi was born outside Japan? if not and if he was in Japan when he created bitcoin then why didnt he registered bitcoin website as bitcoin.jp instead of bitcoin.org? Japan is know to have the latest tech 1st before the whole world has it. For example Japan is known to have HDTV back in the 70-80s before the whole world had it like 30 years later! Also theres tech/inventions thats never gets released worldwide and only available in Japan.

Japan has its own economic inflationary problem so is bitcoin was originally designed for Japan and its population only?

Does Gavin Andresen still control the code at the code repository located at GitHub? Does he still have the Network Alert Key?

Gavin Andresen became the lead developer at Bitcoinfoundation.org

Final question who funds bitcoin.org and bitcoinfoundation.org and who funds the development teams at bitcoin core? Updating bitcoin core with latest releases takes time and money so obviously somebody is funding it or are they all just happy crypto geeks who are volunteering at this so called non-profit organisation for the greater good for mankind financially?

What happens if governments took down the github repository, and the .org websites associated with bitcoin and put all those geeks in jail as well whoever is funding it? Will bitcoin still run?

The Bitcoins itself is Decentralized , but there are few things that always come in the way :

1. Governments demanding KYC every now and then , wallet softwares making it very easy to Track them.

2. The whales usually connect with each other and try to influence the price of Bitcoins

3. Fake whale alerts are being created by people having a lot of Bitcoins , they generally transfer them from one wallet to another and inturn it may cause people to panic buy and sell.

4. Bitcoins Futures and the stock market taking interest in Bitcoins is not a really good thing since they are unnecessarily creating a middle man that is not necessary.

5. Governments seized many mining farms and thus they might be just trying to dominate Bitcoins indirectly.

                               -°-

For the long term it's actually not a good thing for sure . As you have your doubts so have most of the companies, we don't really know how it will go about but we can sit back and do out part , educate people about Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.

What about hardware wallets?



Bitcoin is truly decentralized but companies take advantage of its decentralized idea to create a centralized form of exchange around it so they can profit from it. It's helpful for the most part, but the KYC parts are the part that makes the "decentralized" part of BTC seem non-existent. Also, if Japan had info regarding Satoshi Nakamoto, they'd probably have released it already in the past decade, and seeing they haven't we can assume they had no info about him. We can safely assume that Satoshi left no traces, at least ones that could lead back to his identity.

Quick search shows that Galvin Andresen has left programming and is now focusing on his company. His access to the Github source was stopped at 2016 after him stating that Satoshi was CSW. Not sure about more info though.

https://decrypt.co/29517/the-bitcoin-org-website-is-getting-a-new-owner

The link above states that Co-Owner of Bitcoin.org is Cobra, and well is planning to hand over to other people in the near future.

What happens if governments took down the github repository, and the .org websites associated with bitcoin and put all those geeks in jail as well whoever is funding it? Will bitcoin still run?
I doubt they could make this happen. This is probably possible if they set the name for Bitcoin as completely illegal in the entire world, stamping it's name with something similar to a criminal.

Craig Wright said in his interview with Patrick that bitcoin is not decentralised and it will never reach $100k. Im thinking why would this so claimed inventor of btc shit on his own invention? He saying btc meant to be used like cash at shops/websites but btc cannot scale to visa/matercard levels right?

Who are Cobra?





Whats this Original Bitcoin and this BTC? Are they different coins with different visions at the beginning or there was a hard fork or something?
There are no other bitcoin other than btc. There are others who claim to be 'real bitcoin' but all of them are bitcoin wannabes. 

Quote
Is bitcoin or BTC truly decentralised?
You can send bitcoin peer-to-peer around the world without fear of your transaction being withheld by some third party service or some authorities. The only issue sometimes is it gets stuck for hours if you happen to send using a low fee at a time when the Bitcoin network is congested but that's a small price to pay.

You should probably save this for another discussion. This is all about Satoshi Nakamoto and not about Bitcoin and btc being decentralized.

Quote

No, it's not just Japan or any particular country. If you read the message in the Genesis block, it says "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.". The message was taken from a London news, The Times, and it's about the global financial crisis in 2008. Bitcoin was launched with a mission to revolutionize the global financial system with a decentralized payment system.

Quote
Final question who funds bitcoin.org and bitcoinfoundation.org
Both websites relies on donation but I bet you already know that and you are only interested on who the donors are . I don't think they wanted their names to be revealed and they probably appreciate it if you respect that. If you are too eager to know, trace all the wallet that sends to their bitcoin deposit addresses.   

Quote
and who funds the development teams at bitcoin core? Updating bitcoin core with latest releases takes time and money so obviously somebody is funding it or are they all just happy crypto geeks who are volunteering at this so called non-profit organisation for the greater good for mankind financially?
This one https://bitcoincore.org? Anyone can contribute even if it's not in terms of money.

"The Bitcoin Core project has a large open source developer community with many casual contributors to the codebase. There are many more who contribute research, peer review, testing, documentation, and translation."



Hmm from a london newspaper, either Satoshi was in the UK at the time or read the newspaper online from Japan or wherever.

Okay you saying its like a charity donation for the greater good of mankind and theres no big time wealthy hidden backers behind it funding it like for example Bill Gates that can influence its future aka not decentralised.

That guy Bill Gates is behind many charitable organisations that claim to be non-profit and for the greater good of mankind  Roll Eyes



bitcoin is more then one thing.
its a brand, a currency and a protocol

they say the brand is decentralised because owners of the website domains associated with bitcoin information are different to the owners of the main codebase github. although this is questionable as most are affiliated with a small group of like minded people. its an endless debate of the scale berwwen decentralised or centralised

they say the brand of the software that makes the rules is decentralised because its more then one developer. but again its all one like minded group of developers that always agree on pretty much anything a smaller cluster of higher up popular devs promote. where other devs who want other things get pushed out of the brand and the network

the currency is only available within the network. on the blockchain. but this blockchain is distributed and audited by many independant people all with their own unique reason to hoard/trade/transfer or mine value

the protocol is not some AI self growing code. nor is it made by a single dev. but the base of devs that do create new protocol rules has slimmed down to a small cluster of like minded souls. and users dont get much choice in diverse opinions over the rules. nor get much chance to get their proposals herd if it defy's the cluster of devs opinion. thus they dont even get to the community level of deciding if a feature should be enabled because the proposal is halted before it even gets to a code release

i know some people will say that the community decide if features get implemented by them upgrading the software or not that includes the feature. but history has shown one brand has dominated that decision

i personally use btc and its my only asset i touch. but im not deluded by the dreams of decentralisation. and not afraid to call out on its issues that should be addressed. because a more decentralised brand,currency,protocol would be more secure

I asume the brand is the Orange B Logo for BTC.

Yeah who designed that Orange B Logo with 2 strikes in the middle of it like a dollar? If the US dollar collapses then wouldn't that tarnish the Bitcoin Brand Logo?

If bitcoin changes its brand or Logo then that is not decentralised or is their like voting/polls for stuff like this? But then again voting for something is not decentralised cause voting means giving more power to a central party or figure?  Huh 



The appearance and disappearance of top mining pools as presented on Top-10 mining pools on bitcoin network over years (2009 - May 2020) somewhat are good evidence for the decentralization of bitcoin.

All time

For graphs and stastistics in specific years, please visit that thread.

We need that unknown percentage to go over 50% otherwise the remaining mining pools in China can be taken over by the Chinese government can take over the mining pools and launch a 51% attack against the btc network right?

So its like saying whoever controls the electricity/energy prices worldwide is really controlling the bitcoin miners. They can set a trap in a new country offering cheap electricity to lure all the btc miners there then its game over yeah?



Regarding Satoshi and associated Japan, it seems from reading this thread that Bitcoin is not created by 1 man but by a like-minded group consisting of just white males so it is more likely that the founder Satoshi was really a white guy using Satoshi as a nickname. Otherwise if Satoshi was really Japanese that lived in Japan then it sounds unfeasible that he be working with a bunch of white guys across the globe living in a different time zone where the sun sets last. Or Satoshi was really japanese living in UK or USA at the time that were their mentor or something.

The questions are if Satoshi Nakamoto was really a nickname for a white guy, then who is this white guy? Craig Wright?

In the computing/programming world hackers/coders/cyberpunks like to use cool alias nicknames like Neo or whatever, so why would someone, assuming a white guy use a nickname Satoshi Nakamoto out of all nicknames? To hide their Identity?

If Craig Wright is admitting to be Satoshi then why is he blowing away his identity to the world recently?

And why would one hide their Identity when Bitcoin is still legal in the democratic developed parts of the world?

It just doesnt make any sense  Huh

- 2017 = ICO's
- 2018 = STO's
- 2019 = IEO's
- 2020 = De-Fi

let me add a bunch more but i don't know the years so i just put them in correct order:
- (2010ish) copies of bitcoin that made meaningful changes: LTC, NMC,...
- poor copies of bitcoin and those initial projects that kept reusing the same ideas creating useless coins
- premine coins where they did the same as before but to make money they added premines
- shadowmine coins it is the same as before but instead of a transparent premine they used covert ways to premine the shitcoin
- ICO platforms which did the same exact thing as before but made coin creation cheap, fast and easy and they all have technically 100% premines since the produce the tokens out of thin air and dump it on idiots
- STO, IEO, ... are exactly the same as ICOs where they create a token out of thin air and dump it on idiots under a different name (disguise) so that they idiots don't realize it is the same scam as before.
- DeFi is also the same as all the above where they create something out of thin air, has no usage and has a lot of buzzwords in it but practically is doing the same thing!

- future? nothing is going to change. they keep creating useless coins that raise a lot of money for the creator and/or pumpers and rip off a lot of beginners. that coin also dies after a short time because of being useless.

Man, I really need to look into what DeFi is all about, because I know absolutely nothing about what it is and I keep seeing it mentioned all over the forum.  I'd never invest in an ICO or IEO, but if there's something to this DeFi thing I might be very interested.
keep in mind that similar to smart contracts, the new concept of decentralized finance is very interesting but similar to ICOs, DeFi is a total nonsense and is using the buzzword to empy the newbies pockets.

Okay your saying PoW Proof of Work Coins like bitcoin are the only trustworthy coins and POS tokens are made out of thin air?



Most crypto investors are the young tik tok/insta/snapchat/facebook social media generation followers right? If so theres will always be a annual new trendy thing in crypto correct?





Can Ripple XRP be classed as CBDC or do you think Central Banks worldwide will adopt XRP because its not decentralised and because XRP is established tried and tested you know what I mean plus XRP say they have bank partnerships.

A central bank introducing its own CBDC needs to go through trials and testing 1st before getting its population to migrate to it right?

I don't know--it depends on to what extent the suckers have wised up to the game being played.  There are still a lot of people out there who believe they're going to find the next bitcoin when they invest in some overhyped ICO/IEO/whatever, so don't be surprised if we keep seeing these trendy investment schemes come on to the scene, as there will always be scammers.

Some random ICOs used to easily get millions of dollars, now they struggle to get even tens of thousands, and the term ICO is strongly associated with "scam", even among beginners.

Is it because the already existing centralised traditional finance wont allow De-Fi to take over? So its like for example the big fat cat oil billionaires who control the oil markets wont allow greener healthier alternative energies to take over yeah?

Because DeFi doesn't offer the same things as traditional finance. There's no personal loans, no mortgage, no car loans, no business loans, etc.

But can DeFi be scaled to offer those loans at what timescale were looking at?

Lastly what you guys think what Crypto Trend will be popular for 2021 next year? Privacy coins?

May be not privacy coins since everything about crypto runs on data integrity principles so we are already having private transactions and identity antagonist running over blockchain.

Well, you could say they there might be personalised coins that could jump in. A whole new world of possibility where individual developer create their own limited coins lets say few thousands or something with value based on their product market.

They will trade these coins for coins or product for coin basis and keep the liquidity around it.

This could happen considering there are no limits for the contracts that could be built up, network still has huge space. You might find this answer littel out of the box because it may not happen just now but soon.

With Countries around the world going cashless societies and releasing their own digital fiat currencies then Privacy coins will be needed right to stop governments tracking you?

You mean someone famous or well known on social media with millions of followers releasing their coins?



The reason why there's a changes because there's an improvement, people are looking for something better, so the old once will become obsolete as the new one gets popular. Of the list that you posted.

- 2017 = ICO's
- 2018 = STO's
- 2019 = IEO's
- 2020 = De-Fi

I only feel the ICO popularity in year 2017 because its popularity has reflected to the market, the rest, I am not seeing some significant changes yet, but hopefully this year we will see a bull run if this yeas is for the year of De-Fi.

Okay you saying DeFi coins will get their own bull run and nothing else except bitcoin and Ether is like the lifeblood to DeFi?



Lastly what you guys think what Crypto Trend will be popular for 2021 next year? Privacy coins?
I think it's the CBDCs. It's all over the news and I think China is going to be the first one to be approved. Facebook's Libra which is near to a CBDC because it's a stable coin has been delayed so it's a very relevant time to shine for those who are competing with Libra and that's going to be the CBDC. There is also news that I've read about CBDC in Europe so IMHO, that's going to be the next trend for 2021.

But CBDS'c are centralised owned by the governments and central bank/treasuries.

Lets say I make $1million in the digital blockchain dollar that will make cashless society in america. If the usa government dont like me they can freeze this digital asset with a click of a button like paypal limiting accounts.



Privacy coins?No way.Privacy coins will get banned by the governments,sooner or later.
I think that De-Fi is still far away from it's peak of being the "next big thing" in the crypto world.
Maybe some off-chain solution like the Lightning Network or the upcoming Taproot fork.
"Outdated trends" like ICOs will never come back in the crypto world,due to the lack of trust.Many people were scammed by the Initial Coins Offerings,so nobody would trust any new and emerging ICOs.

Like banning bitcoin right, but bitcoin still working when countries ban it. Same can be said with privacy coins?



I don't think that STO become popular though in 2018, and I wouldn't compare it to tech fashion, maybe it's just crypto continues to evolve in a sense and killed the previous hype. I doubt that privacy coin will be "IN" in 2021, it has a lot of shitstorm coming their way if they become popular, I mean you don't need to look beyond, many exchanges have been delisting privacy coins since 2018 so there's no way for it to become the hottest trend. I think DeFi will continue to dominate next year as well, and I'm sure it will have a massive growth as billions upon billions are going to flow.

So you think DeFi coins wont dump this year and will continue pumping to the moon and beyond next year?

2019 was the year of IEO, I think.

I doubt that crypto trends can make a comeback, they all fail because they are just hype with no real fundamentals. ICOs were just empty promises, IEOs were ICO 2.0, DeFi is not a replacement for traditional finance like it claims to be.

However, people used to say many times that Bitcoin is dead, that it's time for alts to shine, and yet Bitcoin continues to rise. So, it's important to correctly distinguish what is an empty hype and what is a market cycle.

Is it because the already existing centralised traditional finance wont allow De-Fi to take over? So its like for example the big fat cat oil billionaires who control the oil markets wont allow greener healthier alternative energies to take over yeah?

With Bitcoin its popular and nearly everybody has heard of it hence its still ranked 1 after still a decade so Bitcoin will never go out of fashion even though the tech its outdated and slower than some alt coins Huh

Do you think we will see another crypto bullish market cycle where nearly all alt coins get pumped regardless of trend or will there be specific yearly trends from now on?

Whats this Original Bitcoin and this BTC? Are they different coins with different visions at the beginning or there was a hard fork or something?

Is bitcoin or BTC truly decentralised? Who registered the domain name bitcoin.org back on 18th Aug 2008?

Does Japan have any archives or medical records of Satoshi Nakamoto? Japan is always known to be a advanced tech country so surely there must be some trace of Satoshi electronically or on paper trace if hes really old. Whats Japan authorities saying on this? Its near impossible to just vanish without trace in these times of technology where your traces are easily recorded somewhere unless Satoshi was a hacker and wiped himself clean from govt. databases leaving no trace fearing the current Zionist worldwide financial system will come after him or something.

Or satoshi was born outside Japan? if not and if he was in Japan when he created bitcoin then why didnt he registered bitcoin website as bitcoin.jp instead of bitcoin.org? Japan is know to have the latest tech 1st before the whole world has it. For example Japan is known to have HDTV back in the 70-80s before the whole world had it like 30 years later! Also theres tech/inventions thats never gets released worldwide and only available in Japan.

Japan has its own economic inflationary problem so is bitcoin was originally designed for Japan and its population only?

Does Gavin Andresen still control the code at the code repository located at GitHub? Does he still have the Network Alert Key?

Gavin Andresen became the lead developer at Bitcoinfoundation.org

Final question who funds bitcoin.org and bitcoinfoundation.org and who funds the development teams at bitcoin core? Updating bitcoin core with latest releases takes time and money so obviously somebody is funding it or are they all just happy crypto geeks who are volunteering at this so called non-profit organisation for the greater good for mankind financially?

What happens if governments took down the github repository, and the .org websites associated with bitcoin and put all those geeks in jail as well whoever is funding it? Will bitcoin still run?

Greetings,

Theres this yearly new trend I keep noticing in the crypto markets, where these trendy coins have their own bull market till its not trendy no more:

- 2017 = ICO's

- 2018 = STO's

- 2019 = IEO's

- 2020 = De-Fi


In the Tech markets old tech never comes back as we all know. We all know the Sony Walkman hasn't come back and tech gets outdated quickly.

So the questions are can outdated trends in Crypto markets can come back in normal overall bull and bear market cycles?

Lastly what you guys think what Crypto Trend will be popular for 2021 next year? Privacy coins?

Hi coming back here with a beginner question:

Looking at candle sticks charts. The top of a green candlestick shows close price and bottom of it shows open price and vice-versa for red candles.

What I dont understand is crypto and bitcoin market is open 24/7 so how does the candlestick represent a open and close price for a 24/7/365 days constant open market?

Is staking altcoins is like Dividends in the stock market?

Which of the coins from my portfolio can I stake if I choose to hodl longer and I expect to be rewarded for hodl for longer in form of dividends right?

I can see De-Fi coins are pumping, so this means altcoin bull market haven't started yet but only selection of a specific type of alts such as de-fi alts are pumping right? Shall I sell my de-fi coins now?

So realistically speaking the alt market wont make new ATH's like in 2017-18 ever again? The de-fi coins now that are pumping wont hit new ATH's?

Lastly remind me which from my lists are de-fi coins?

Which one does Real Estate market fall under?
it's in its own class. it can't be considered a commodity because commodities must be fungible/interchangeable, which real estate most certainly is not. sometimes people group real estate under the "alternative investment asset" umbrella.
Okay so Real Estate market is in its own class, a dedicated market? Does Tradingview or Investing.com show UK Real Estate data/charts?

the easiest way to monitor the real estate market is to look at large cap real estate investment trusts (REIT)---companies that own, run, or finance investment properties.

these are the top REITs by market cap in the american market:
https://www.fool.com/millionacres/real-estate-investing/reits/10-largest-reits-market-cap-2020/

these are the top ones in the UK market:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/325371/uk-lse-reits-ranked/

all the listed companies should be available on tradingview since they are traded on the major stock exchanges.

Is REIT just for commercial real estate only?

I signed up on tradingview basic free, what do I type in the search to get charts for all of UK home market so I can track home prices, not just for capital london or commercial properties.

Minimal Windows server requires 512Mo (800Mo is better) I found it on the Microsoft documentation.
Well to compare CentOs needs 512Mo RAM ,Ubuntu too & Debian between 256 to 512 (I'm able to run Ubuntu server +Openbox with 80Mo Grin)

When the provider advertises 15GB it's before the operating system is installed

With a Windows server, it's recommended to have a 32GB space disk. I didn't know until today and that's crazy considering Linux needs a lot less (i.e. 2GB with Debian)

I don't know if you're aware but you can rent a VPS per hour sometimes. (i.e. digital ocean under 0.01$ per hour) So if you really want to be sure and test a server configuration before buying for a full month, you can try this solution

I dont mind paying for a full month instead of hourly charge.

So windows server is 32GB and Gunbot is 10GB so disk drive storage I need minimum is over 42GB right to get it working?

Is Contabo vps KVM?

Not all VPS share the resources. What you need to look for is VPS using KVM, unlike OpenVZ, the resources are dedicated. KVM and OpenVZ are the most popular hypervisors I think. (Google VPS with KVM perhaps, OVH comes in my mind) It's also usually mentioned on the website

I don't know much about Windows server but a full server with CP and SQL need at least 3GB I suppose, so you will surely need less (just for the OS I mean, then you need to consider your bot)

Okay KVM VPS are the best ones, better than OpenVZ?

Which is the cheapest KVM or any good deals at the moment for KVM that is backed by good customer reviews?

Is Gunbot hardware demanding?

Yes, better than OpenVZ since the resources are dedicated, but OpenVZ can be enough (not everyone abuses their VPS).
Difficult to say which is the cheapest, there are so many around, but for example, you can get a VPS for ~$5/month with OVH. You can also get a cheap VPS searching on LowEndBox (see KVM here)

I checked Gunbot's wiki and it says the recommended specs are 2GB with 10 GB free disk space here

Doesn't it depend on the operating system that dictates the specs needed? It can run on linux os easily but running on windows os may require a higher recommended hardware specs right because windows is more hardware resource demanding than linux?

Also when a VPS advertises a storage space for example 15GB then is that 15GB available after the operating system is installed on it?

I can see windows server 2019 being advertised by vps but shall I assume 2019 edition of windows server require a faster vps specs?

Will windows server 2016 run fine on cheap vps mentioned on lowendbox and will gunbot run fine on windows server 2016 on cpu 1 core?
