What are we getting so excited over? The big price explosion won't likely happen until next year. This is not some huge unexpected event, we have known about it literally since bitcoin was created. What's with the hype?

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

It depends on what you mean by "big price explosion". We're certainly not going into 6 digits this year but new ATH is very probable... I'd say $20-50 easily...

I dunno but they just mentioned about the last block being mined to be quite valuable to whomever manages to get it on the cointelegraph live stream. Worth 12.5btc What are we getting so excited over? The big price explosion won't likely happen until next year.

It's fun.I think this youtuber is the only one who has a pretty successful number of subscribers to their channel pertaining to cryptocurrencies and not getting one of these letters from youtube. Only because he discusses it in a light tone and how it functions at times as a farce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFnpUNyutMAAt one time in this latest video he puts on a blindfold while doing his technical analyst of the bitcoin price. Now this is what we all need in the cryptospace right now. To not take each other so serious at times like this. It is quite fun as its been pretty stale lately. Just take it in stride like a Novogratz!

Funny thing is my friend who thought I was nuts for buying Bitcoin in 2012 is now texting me about the halving and where I buy Bitcoin... What. Does he want to start buying now for the first time or something? Yes he just started buying on coinbase! 8 years later... lol Better late than never. I had a boss back in 2013 IIRC tell me about it and at the time I didn't really get the utility, seemed like role playing money. I got in mid 2017 after spending a couple months finally taking the time to learn about it. I'd love to have the triple digits some of you early guys have but frankly I'm just jazzed to be in at all with my small accumulation. That I lost on a boating trip.

So I just heard that influenza spreads around the globe in about 3 weeks. If this is true, and Corona-chan spreads even faster... then that could mean that the entire pandemic was mostly over before the lockdown even began. This is further backed up by the fact that infection rates went from increasing exponentially to linearly, even as testing is ramping up around the world.
So. If that is the case, where does that leave us now?

The havling is different. You know how Bitcoin uses public keys that are really long like: 3Fsjzp0kJ5AbQaogMsdFh9Jaqhh3k114Pwgbs? The havling means it gets cut in half. So now your key will only be: 3Fsjzp0kJ5AbQaogMs People are excited because it makes everything a lot easier. Every 4 years it will havle. Until all public keys are only one letter so it's super easy to use.
