Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Last of the V8s]

I'm not advocating, just pointing it out, but I don't see this push going away.

[machasm]

it's much more about the mesh network stuff, keeping the chain size down. the fee market problems are way off
i agree it's early even for that former though

I have yet to see a convincing argument that the current system is broken.  It’s all pie in the sky stuff.  

Lighting will keep the chain size down.  Just give it a chance.

I don’t think we need to worry too much about this at this point either.
I appreciate the forward thinking but believe that we need to allow BTC to mature before we look at doing anything with block sizes which might further jeopardise BTC’s adoption.
Give LN a chance to get further established and see where we are at a bit further down the road.
Who knows, someone might come up with a better idea than reducing block size to incentivise miners?

If miners go out of business due to block reward reduction, then that's down to their poor planning. It's not like the reductions and the timing of them hasn't been clearly laid out 10 years ago.

Fair nuff.  I see this as a social attack and we just need to innoculate ourselves.

Buy more!

This 27-year-old South Korean is keeping a secret from his parents: His cryptocurrency debts are in the tens of thousands of dollars. His plan? Buy more.

If miners do not earn enough to sustain their business, then the less efficient ones close until the point the remaining ones survive. If miners think they need additional fees they can raise them.... until a point where other more efficient miners establish them lower and get all/most the business.

I suppose offer and demand is not explained in computer science degrees?

Not sure what to make of it.
Does he think that it is over already?
If not, than there was no event like the blowup of two Bear Stearns hedge funds (in 2007) yet.
We shall see.

Wonder what the chances of breaking $4,000 this week are?

I think when we finally get above $6,000 again (whenever that is) we can call that the very early beginning of the next bull run. I think we’ll break $6,000 towards the end of 2019. It’d be great if we climb slowly towards that figure. I’d love to be able to buy another 4 or 5 bitcoin’s before it gets to the stage where it might be unaffordable to buy whole one’s again.

As usual gentlemen please make sure you’re accumulating now. These prices will be laughed at in a couple of years. Total once in a lifetime opportunity now to set yourselves up forever as financially comfortable.

Go BTC Go !!!!!!

Edit - BTW, I’m sorry for being disloyal gentlemen but I bought some GRIN a couple of hours ago.

Watch out for the day when 1BTC exceeds 1BRK-A.
That would be a cause for celebration.
What are our chances within the next 10 years?
re grin; if Charlie would be able to incorporate that tech into ltc, I say that chances are better than even that it would be incorporated into btc (at some point, maybe as a sidechain).

A bit tough in 2021.  Probable by 2025.

It’s a bit of a joke.  He is saying the bear market has been so strongly predicted that it won’t happen.
