Not sure why, but 2020 sounds extremely bullish for crypto (BTC+ALTS). I've got an inner feeling that I'll be rich before presidential elections.

But yeah, we all define "rich" in a different manner, and I believe that if I somehow pull a 5x on my BTC holdings and 10x on my ALTS (which mostly consists of ADA) holdings, I'll be rich. So $50,000/BTC and $0.50/ADA is all basically what I expect (and hope for) before November.

Let's see, let's see...

First of all:  who gives any ratt's asses about alts, whether ADA or otherwise? you are gambling and may as well just dump that shit and put the current value of that crap into BTC.

Second:  My lame math suggests that at current BTC prices, as I type ($7,390-ish), you would need about a 6.76589986X increase in BTC prices to reach $50k, which is slightly more than 5x... 5x is only going to put you at $36,950, which should be a good return, but may not be enough for you to reach your threshold "richie" status.

You're welcome.   Wink Wink

Along the lines of walls of text and over-investing...

 I have attempted to find Bitcoin addresses containing 10 letter words (after the initial 1) without regard for case (which makes it much easier) using a list of 22,399 words and the full processing capacity of my computer for 24 hours.  You'll be happy(er) to know, JJG, that I was able to find only one match from that entire list of words:

Pub Addr: 1ExeRcYCLeSxaZkCh7togWcSgcofRYVDLZ
Priv (WIF): L4o3NZYoSf6GVmLaxcaqtmunqiNBs77PNyANmpYtcL6r6dMtcCXb
Priv (HEX): 0xE202278FF792CE920126E8D3A2EE1483AB9FA00807B10B71EAACDAD1DD4D36E4

 and I believe that was mostly due to good luck.

 If I were to try for an exact case-sensitive match of 1ExercycLes (capital L because Bitcoin addresses can't use miniscule L capital I or Capital O) with random characters after it, I would need 2.4 years for a 50% chance of success.   your funds are SAFU.

 On a sad note, I will likely never find a 1JayJuanGee or a 1micgoossens address and a 1LastoftheV8s is just a pipe dream as I am dangerously close to the limit of my wife's generosity for tolerating computer upgrades for this decade.  (fortunately we start a new one soon!)

 I hate to disappoint Mr. MicG so this is for his reading pleasure:

Pub Addr: 1CLiMAXt43DiJBPT9z7YEppUS8ssPjjUNJ
Priv (WIF): L5BunfnNDEdWC9w4hzWmbHBrUzp44YEp51TPgr6XcHqerghUTKJc
Priv (HEX): 0xEDC5F18B29BDC350F02B9AB4BB067752AD07F944EE697824B5C13452B7769453

 I get those all day long with my current hardware.  Tongue


hahahahahaha

I am ssssssoooooooooo glad that you are able to find a hobby that keeps you formulating mathmatical computer problems in your spare time when you are not making hats and keeping your dad in touch with modern computing....  Wink

By the way, I understand that I can be a continuous bubble deflater, but what good do any of these vanity addresses do, anyhow?

Aren't best practices to largely limit use of any one address, and perhaps even one use per address.  Of course, there might be some occasions in which exceptions might be applicable.. for an institution that wants to keep books open or something like that, but private individuals?  Are we reusing bitcoin addresses?   Do you just plan to use some of these generated addresses one time, Xhomerx10?  Then how much good are they?  like a mayfly.. live with fame for only a very short period of time?

 Dammit JJG!  Now you've made me access the deepest and darkest regions of my mind trying to make sense of my life.  Why do I do anything?  What good is any of it?  In the grand scheme of things, is the Mayfly's life really any shorter than my own?  I can justify the existence of the lowly Mayfly much more easily than I can explain my search for and use, misuse or non-use of Bitcoin vanity addresses.

How much good are they?

I officially doubt 8000 :p I think there might be a greater trend taking priority but price can go anywhere if volume should stay light then later confirm elsewhere on greater full market volume.

So $50,000/BTC and $0.50/ADA is all basically what I expect (and hope for) before November.

50k BTC is 2021 talk if we are lucky, if we are lucky at all in the next decade as far as I can see.   Forget the price, we have to consider the total market capital available in this sector or even just BTC but that total then is in contrast to other asset types and alternative markets to this one.   If bonds leak alot of value (they've risen since Reagan first got in) then yea 50k I agree but even then alot of that value is going to gold, other FIAT currency especially commodity wealthy countries with good trade balance and of course stocks always rise nominally when value of the currency declines unless the business fails but globally that wont be it.    
  In short 50k BTC has to be on a seesaw  and see some other value go down as BTC rises, thats what I expect.   Large figures dont move as easily, naturally the rate of change should not be increasing but decreasing over time.

BTC price right now is at some resistance.

Are we in a $BTC bear market?

No, we are in the re-accumulation phase of a bull market.

That's great. Looks like he is asserting that there is some significant numerical measure entitled 'On-Chain Investor Activity'. What exactly is this measure?
I think it is because of the volume, and it may take it, supported perhaps by a possible divergence. It's what I can intuit from there

BTC price right now is at some resistance.

Overall, you seem quite bearish on upside potentiality of bitcoin.  It is like you don't even understand the asset that we continuously discuss in this thread.

Sure, I am NOT a person who banks on  $50k having to happen in 2020, 2021 or even any time before 2028, but still I recognize and appreciate the upside potential which could end up delivering us a $500k bitcoin in 1-2 years.  Of course, this might not happen also, but the mere fact that bitcoin already has a lot of value in it does NOT take away from the fact that it continues to have considerable upside potential, including that we only have less than 1% of world adoption, and financial institutions continue to be quite skeptical of bitcoin, even while BTC investment vehicles are increasingly coming available to them.

Yeah, right Roll Eyes Roll Eyes you believe that gold has some kind of significant ability to absorb distressed value merely because it has financial vehicles already vastly in place and developed, but in the end, you really believe that such grandpa coin (referring to gold) is really going to appreciate in value beyond perhaps a 2x or a 3x in the coming years, even in the best of scenarios?  A more likely gravitation of value into gold would result in less than a 2x appreciation of value, and surely the top of bitcoin is neither $50k in one to two years, but instead also has some decent probabilities of being front run in terms of the timing of the likely upcoming BTC price appreciation.

And, fuck also the speculation that alts have to come with.  Yeah, there might be some of the alts coming with on such BTC price surging trip, but such altcoin season is not in any way any kind of condition precedent, even if they have more pumpamentals (scammer richard heart term) due to their having way less liquidity.

I could give two shits in terms of my own investment whether BTC stays stagnant in the less than $20k range in the coming years or takes 8 years to pump to new ATHs, but my own financial and psychological preparation for worser case scenarios should not be considered to take away from those kinds of more bearish scenarios for bitcoin seem to be quite unlikely to actually take place, and we have decent odds of going to $20k plus before the end of 2021.. and the odds are decent too that we could also end up in a supra $150k territory in the same before the end of 2021 timeframe.

Hopefully, peeps like you, STT are not holding back in their BTC investment based on lack of acceptance of the decent likelihood of more bullish BTC scenarios that could equally end up knocking us off our feet in similar ways as the seemingly 2017 over performance of BTC.  I agree with your assertion that the degree of the bubbles are likely to become less and less and less in bitcoin with the passage of time but even that is not a condition precedent and even that would not negate going to $250k (because $250k is only about a 63x price bubble, which would still have been less than our approximate 78x 2017 price bubble).

Oh yeah, I’m totally loaded up trust me. I enjoy buying, buying, buying. It’s my hobby to keep getting MOAR Smiley

I am nearly at a big round number for me (OCD to get there).

Obviously if it went to 100k tonight though I can live with missing out on that target ha.
