It's again that time when we reach out to the community asking what bitcoin myth busting video we should do next.

Here is our work so far:



Well, here you give your opinion what should be the 6th one?

I'm curious about this, when the last block of bitcoin will be mined, what will happen?

My 2 cents:
The miners will gain only transaction fees so the electric cost will be higher than the revenue,
therefore the number of miners will drop drastically and the chances of 51% attacks will be huge.

Conclusion: when the last block will be mined, bitcoin will die.

myth?

I'd like to see answer about blockchains data size, what will happen in future, will we need like 2 TB HDD for storing whole blockchain or is it gonna be reduced and controlled somehow? Why do we even need that much data, why can't we have pieces, like P2P network has?

Yes, myth, because the transaction fees will be higher and the cost of producing miners etc will also drastically fall.

The worlds answer to FREE CLEAN ENERGY FOR THE WORLD

By the time the last coin is mined, we may have a GREPA WORLD of free clean energy IMO.

Bitcoin takes out the worlds banks

Grepa takes out the fossil fuel corps

FREE ENERGY solves the power issue

BTC solves the worlds currency manipulation issue

Widespread Bitcoin adoption would somehow prevent fractional reserve banking from happening.

It depends. Miners spend a lot of money on their hardware.

If the centralization trend keeps up and the block reward gets to small, we may see the major pools start rejecting transactions that don't have a, say, a 2% fee.

Those who control the flow of money have all the power, which is why this centralization problem needs to be solved.

Myth: As a bitcoin rises in value, more people hoard the currency as it becomes too valuable to trade for something else. This effect dictates that Bitcoin will never be useful as a currency.

+1

If OP was really interested in busting myths and do something good for bitcoin, he would take on the truth even if it hurts a bit right now. Critical and constructive criticism is much better for the entire ecosystem than overly positive propaganda that hides the inconvenient truth. Selling an unfinished product without telling the entire truth can come back and bite us all.

But hey, maybe OP is indeed sincere in his alleged intentions, but only he can prove so.

Well the first one you can't prove or explain why it wasn't created by any of those people or groups, and the second bitcoin could go to zero next week and whether they are investing in is personal opinion.
