If you flip a coin, and it lands on heads. Then you flip it again, and it's heads again.

Do you say: you don't need to flip it a third time, for sure it's heads?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

2 is a very small sample size. I wouldn't trust it.

Spit it out, what are you getting at? BTC failed at $10K twice so it must fail a third time? Smiley

Most likely it is what he meant.

BTC cant escape 9.8k level so even with another rally he wanted to know if we have a chance to pass on 10k, but since the third chance has been used up. It doesnt mean we cant achieved the tail for once. There is no limit on probability and that's the thing here, the third attempt could be same result but one or two attempt could always make a difference even with 0.00001%


At least the support is strong by the way and thats enough to achieve it sometime as we are in distant proximity on breaking out.

the question should be, why are you flipping a coin?

yes ,, surely I will say it like that, because it has been thrown twice and returned again, and the 3 results must be the same

I'd say that you don't have to flip it again because twice is already too much so for the third time, what if the result changes? you'll go back to the first step.

Are you flipping to decide for something? or what?

Is two flips enough to make that decision or be certain? I will probably flip it 3 more times, if it keeps landing on thesame side or mostly on thesame side then there is the possibility it's not that random... Will check the coin and what it lands on properly to find out the cause of the lack of randomness. If it's a virtual coin, I will suspect software problem.

An event that occurred this year for the third time in bitcoin history  Grin but now that this thread was moved to Off Topic, it becomes pointless. It perfectly fitted in Speculation.  Tongue

All this to say, in my opinion bitcoin saw his last big run for 2020 and right now it doesn't have enough firepower to overcome 10.5k, hence the third coin should land on tail?

Then it would be better if you just do a best of seven perhaps? Man that would be interesting, flip-a-coin best of seven series! Wink

Apparently there is a 2% chance the coin will stay standing with neither tails nor heads facing up... So your chance of either isn't even 50%, but 49%.

Anyway you have a 49% chance it will land in either side. You just cannot say "for sure" at all, all you can say is you have a 49% chance.

There's a 1/2 chance it's gonna be head, and 1/2 it's tail. same as the other previous two. That's how chances work.

The 2 flip coin method is enough to make and dessicion for something. But i wouldn’t try the third one because i would be affraid that it will be flipped on other side and it would make me confused for not doing something. But we can’t trust the flip coin at all lmao
