Yeah, it's sometimes hard to have that vision into the future that others do not. To have an analyst mind and extrapolate current events forward in time and say "Well if things keep going as they are now [wrt something], then in 15-20 yrs it's gonna be pretty much like this..."
And then plan accordingly.
Right, vision is very important.

Something that seems to have gone unnoticed around here is that the total crypto market cap blew right past a quarter trillion dollars and is now approaching $.3t.
We waited a long time for this. Is the adoption curve getting close to going vertical?
I noticed.

I pointed out that if the trend continues we've seen recently and even if Bitcoin only makes up 40% of the total crypto market then in one year's time => 1 BTC = $35.000.
Though if the influx REALLY were to carry on with $10 billion per day we've seen last 5 days.
=>
$4 Trillion total market cap
say $1.6 Trillion BTC market cap.
In one year say 17.5 million BTC.
$1.600.000.000.000 / 17.500.000 = $91.428 per BTC.

Haha. The world works in funny ways.
I'm sitting in the lounge at SJC - I was working in Silicon Valley so far this week. AAR, when I checked into my hotel the other night, I noticed a newspaper I'd not seen before available amongst the piles of drek such as USA Today. Epoch Times. Intrigued, I grabbed a copy.
This morning, I finally started reading it. There was a great article on the ramifications of Bitcoin that took an entire page in the paper. Once I read it, I thought I oughta share it here. There is an abbreviated version available on the web:

Please be reminded that this fork is not the real Segwit2x! This has nothing to do with the cancelled fork that happened this november. You can check the developers of this coin, this is just another altcoin that cloned the blockchain of bitcoins much like bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, bitcoin diamond, or whatever scam bitcoin fork that happened in the past.
This could have not been the reason of the price drop of bitcoins. The recent drop was clearly due to the correction of the price and not this poser coin. Do not be fooled by this coin.
You all can check this out,

What you´re saying ? I´m a rich bitch, or, . . . naah

I'd start with $100k, which is maybe this year or next year, we don't know for sure. $1m will come in a few short years, so keep a few set aside in cold storage or something. You can go play (and probably lose) the rest.
In my mind, between 2025 and 2035 is when all the "practical" bitcoins have been mined, or we are close to 99% mined. The next one hundred years is for the last bitcoin, and that quantity matters less, but cost of production of those last few bitcoins will drive the price of the entire marketcap.
Here is the coin supply schedule estimated:
Current bitcoins: 16 million, Block Reward 12.5 BTC
By 2018: 17 million
By 2020: 18 million, Block Reward 6.25 BTC
By 2022: 19 million
By 2024: 19.68 million 93.75%, Block Reward 3.125 BTC
By 2028: 20.34 million 96.87%, Block Reward 1.5625 BTC
By 2032: 20.67 million 98.44%, Block Reward is below 1 BTC.
By 2036: 20.83 million 99.22%
By 2056: 20.99 million 99.99%
By 2064: Less than 1300 BTC added per year
By 2080: Less than 100 BTC added per year
By 2100: Less than 2 BTC added per year
By 2108: The last full bitcoin has been added
By 2144: Mining is purely transaction fees.
Between 2036 to 2144, most or all miners will receive more in transaction fees, than the coinbase block reward.
I think 2025 to 2026 which is less than 10 years away, for all intents and purposes, all bitcoin has been practically mined, and we should see price adjust accordingly. USD is likely to be 100k to 500k by this time, depending on who you believe predicts the price.
2030ish is the decade where we see bitcoin go full million dollars or higher.

Can anyone tell my how futures work?
1. If someone have put money that Bitcoin will short and on 24.01 it will BOOM up - he will lose money right?
2. When exacly cme futures end? Exact time please
JUST look at 24.01.17 - the day that will change crypto. Now I know why price is same non stop. RATINGS coming to crypto !! The thing that has ten times more power than any futures.
5 star rating for bitcoin and lower stars for other = bitcoin goes few thousands up in matter of minutes.
Bitcoin get less than 5 starts = crypto world is gona dip dip dip = even if Xrp gets 5 stars (as a REALIST I see that coming - jews wants to control crypto market). People will buy XRP but BTC/ETH will drop - and everything is bought in BTC/ETH - so everything falls. Then in the ashes whales buy all XRP and GG
I REALLY HOPE there are to many jews that just want MONEY over POWER - and they will give 5 stars to BTC (easiest way to make money - they buy BTC - it moons = they make LOADS of MONEY)
What do you think about it - IMHO ratings are CRUCIAL - they destroyed whole US Market in 2008 - now they have power to destroy crypto - WITH RATING 3 or lower = Bye Bye any investor in US

Look folks, just put all background noise about tether, India guv, Roubini FUD and other distractions out of your minds.
Here's what's going on. The correction is technical, pure and simple.
If you checkout this chart from 2015/2016/17, you can see that bitcoin grows in these 8-monthly bubbles which burst in the "propellor correction" fashion I described. The pattern's always the same:

That is:
• market starts rising out of a bowl
• gets to a point where it overheats
• nosedives sharply all the way down to retest just below the previous "propellor spike"
• retraces halfway up the initial correction and stabilises
• drifts slowly down from there to settle from where it starts the next cycle
During 2017 these corrections got closer together as we've had both greater market depth AND unprecedented growth during the year. So instead of our 8-monthly crash and recovery we've had 3 of those consolidations (that manifest in the lowest resolution weekly chart) in the last 6 months instead of 1. The last one was in November, peaking at $7500. Together, those 3 consolidations amounted to an aggregate 77% retrace spanning 6-8 months. ($7500, November, $1825 end May).

What this means according to precedent is that we NEED to retest at least that 7500 (+or- 20%) region before progressing. It's just the bitcoin way. This is an uncapitalised asset class that's rapidly capitalising and there's so much clamour to get in that it can't do it smoothly.
The low of $8455 we saw on Bitstamp a couple of hours ago may or may not be the bottom of the wick. To complete the full depth of the needed correction we may have to revisit the $7500 level or even 6k at a pinch to really bake in the last runup but that could just as easily manifest as a momentary panic "fat finger" dump before retracing back up the decline to around the $13k level which is 50% of the consolidation we've had since the peak.
How Does this Compare to the 2013 bubble ?In fact the 2013 rally and that nightmare 18 month recovery followed exactly the same pattern. The reason it took so long to recover is because it went
straight from $126 all the way to the top in 7 straight weeks without any of these bubble-bursting corrections on the way (or even mini corrections). That meant that the last support level was the so called "Cyprus spike" way back in April 2013 when it spiked at $266. And sure enough - according to form - it went all the way back to retest that level and a bit more for good measure. Note this is very different to the situation we have now on 3 counts:
1. the rise from $1000 to $19k (16k realistically) is comparable in relative terms but has taken a whole year instead of just 7 weeks
2. we have 3 fairly hefty consolidations which more or less overlap each other and we've almost arrived at the last of those already
3. the correction is rapid and deep which is a good sign because it snaps the market quickly back into a more reasonable trend that can be sustained (see previous "propellor corrections how they've played out).
Note: the angle between the support level and the 3 retracement lines in the 2013 chart below. You can see from that that the closer the retracement occurs to the peak blow-off, the higher the bottom will be. 2014 went low because it retraced so slowly and didn't hit the fan-line for a whole year.
Conclusion is, this means the bottom will be in fairly quickly and it's likely to be in the region of the $7500 level +/- 20% in my opinion followed by a fairly rapid (21 day) retrace to the upside as shorts close and off-book demand goes back onto the order books. If not, there are still a furter two consolidation levels available below that but it'd be a brave shorter that would put a lot of money behind adverse trades at those levels given the precedents IMO.

Recommend an awesome book about dot.com bubble: "Bull: A History of the Boom and Bust, 1982-2004"

Kevin
Definitely a must read for investors
April 10, 2013
This book is not a technical read in any way. Instead, this book is written as various anecdotes, beginning from the fifties to the present day. Mahar tells the story of various influential people in the industry as well as families and the average man experiencing various aspects of a financial cycle (bear and bull markets) and how they acted and why they did what they did.
She outlines various causes of bull markets and bear markets. She analyzes investor behaviors in each part of the cycle and outlines some eery commonalities between the various events.
I believe that this book is well worth the money because it teaches you some things to look for in both bull and bear markets. She gives the names of people who strategically position themselves out of the wall street mentality and give their honest sell and buy recommendations when the market is under or over valued. I think for the few dollars you spend on this book, you might save a lot more money timing your buys and sells based on what Mahar says in this book.
I didn't give this a 5 star rating because I didn't think it was a 5 star book in my opinion.
However, I still believe its a must read book to gain some more investing knowledge.

excerpt from
Denationalisation of Money. -The Argument Refined. An Analysis ofthe Theory and Practice ofConcurrent Currencies.
F. A. HAYEK. Nohel Laureate 1974
The historical evidence
Professor Friedman has since2 more fully explained his doubts
about the efficacy of my proposal and claimed that
'we have ample empirical and historical evidence that
suggests that [my] hopes would not in fact be realised-that
private currencies which offer purchasing power security
would not drive out governmental currencies.'
I can find no such evidence that anything like a currency of
which the public has learnt to understand that the issuer can
continueh~business only ifhe maintains its currency constant,
for which all the usual banking facilities are provided and
which is legally recognised as an instrument for contracts,
accounting and calculation has not been preferred to a deteriorating
official currency, simply because such a situation seems
never to have existed. It may well be that in many
countries the issue of such a currency is not actually prohibited,
but the other conditions are rarely if ever satisfied. And everybody
knows that if such a private experiment promised to
succeed, governments would at once step in to prevent it.

In the spirit of all the on topic charts and sharing going on I have updated my bitcoin difficulty vs mining hardware return sheet with today's bitcoin network difficulty increase.
As predicted the 5% average is holding strong. However come Friday with the next wave of hardware being shipped I wonder if the increase network hit will once again ring true that at this price point USD/BTC its best to simply buy BTC instead of mining hardware. That is if profit is your motivation.
Typically with crypto mining apart from hardware and infrastructure costs there is ongoing building labour and other miscellaneous overhead that is not being factored in this example.

This is great news. Only 8% currently own cryptos, and another 8% plan to. IOW, the number planning to get in will double the ranks of crypto owners. BullishAF.
Assuming that's correct, we'll be in for another mega-rally. Not entirely convinced about some of their numbers though. Adding up the amounts invested works out at around $70 billion, for example:

An interesting take on bitcoin (it could have been posted here, but it is a first time I have seen it):
https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/john-pfeffer/An+Investor%27s+Take+on+Cryptoassets+v6.pdfMajor points:
1. $4.4-9.9 tril final value for the store of value use, but could rapidly (months) increase to $1.5 tril (which is about $112K or $86k fully diluted). My opinion: he wrote it when btc was at 15-17K, so run up in months to $1.5 tril would be postponed, most likely.
2. An interesting comparison with AMZN, which was $107 in 2000 but was $1600 recently. In between AMZN declined to $5-6.
The author says that if you calculate by dec 2017 AMZN price, it increased "only" by 14% yearly between buying during internet "bubble" peak and Dec 2017. I recalculated to the recent AMZN peak of $1600 and it is rather 16.5% yearly.
However, if you count from 2001 AMZN low of 5.76, you'll get 39.5% yearly return from 2001-2018.
Well , 39.5 is much better than 14-16.5%, but even 16.5% is OK.
I guess my point is that those who bought at $17-20K would be similar to investors who bought AMZN at around $100 in 2000 and those who bought either earlier (up to btc $1000) or later (at the bottom whenever it comes) would be in a similar situation to AMZN buyers at either IPO or in 2001. They would just have to wait maybe a decade or so. The upper target in the article is 260-800K/btc.
Year US Debt Ceiling (trillion of dollars)
1985 1.95
2018 21
Increase ~600B debt per year
annual global gold production is 3000 tonnes , that is ~130B.
US dollar and gold increase total 730B to international Solvency.
Will BTC replace these dollars by add 600B marketcap every year in the near future( next next halving 2024)?

https://medium.com/@vijayboyapati/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin-6ecc8bdecc1Beyond the financial case for Bitcoin, its rise as a non sovereign store of value will have profound geopolitical consequences. A global, non-inflationary, reserve currency will force nation states to alter their primary funding mechanism from inflation to direct taxation, which is far less politically palatable. States will shrink in size commensurate to the political pain of transitioning to taxation as their exclusive means of funding. Furthermore, global trade will be settled in a manner that satisfies Charles de Gaulle’s aspiration that no nation should have privilege over any other:
50 years from now, that monetary base will be Bitcoin.

Will China demand censorsheep?

I am Yueluo from the 2014 Foreign Languages Institute. I was one of the eight students who submitted the “Information Disclosure Application Form” to Peking University on the morning of April 9. I dragged my tired body and wrote this text to illustrate some of the things that have happened to me recently.
one
After April 9th, I was constantly interviewed by faculty members and leaders of the college, and it continued twice until midnight or even two. During the conversation, the student teacher repeatedly mentioned "Can you graduate successfully," "Do what your mother and grandmother do," and "Student teacher has the right not to contact you directly by your parents." While I was preparing my graduation thesis recently, frequent interruptions and subsequent psychological pressures severely affected my thesis writing.
two
At noon on April 20, I received a reply from the school. The Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Foreign Languages, the teacher of the Xuegong and the head teacher were present. The secretary of the Party Committee read to me the answer to the open information application of the school:
1. Discussing that Shenyang Shide's meeting level is not enough
2. The investigation results of the Public Security Bureau are not in the scope of school management
3. The content of the public review in Shenyang was not found due to work errors in the Chinese Department.
The result of this reply disappointed me. However, the submission of graduation thesis will soon be closed, I can only focus on thesis writing.
three
At about 11 pm on April 22, the counselor suddenly called me, but because the time was late, I did not receive it. At one o'clock in the morning, the counselor and his mother suddenly came to my dormitory and forced me to wake up and asked me to delete all the information related to the information disclosure incident on my mobile phone and computer. After dawn, I went to the teacher to make a written guarantee Involved in this matter. Students on the same floor can testify. Later, I was taken home by my parents and I can't return to school at the moment.
My mother and I were awake all night. Schools misrepresented the facts when they contacted their mothers, causing mothers to be overly frightened and emotionally collapsed. Because of the unreasonable intervention of the school, my relationship with my mother was almost broken. The current action of the college has already broken the bottom line. I feel fear and anger.
What is the crime of applying for information disclosure? I did not do anything wrong, nor would I regret having submitted the "Information Disclosure Application Form" to exercise my honorable rights as a college student in Beijing.
Twenty years of envy, I love my mother. In the face of her sorrowful cry, self-sacrifice, kneeling requests, and threats of suicide, my heart is bleeding. In her plea, I can only return home temporarily, but I can't stand back from principle. Compromise can't solve any problems. I have no choice but to write this statement and state the story.
Emotional, please forgive me for being incoherent.
four
Here, I formally submitted the following demands to the School of Foreign Languages of Peking University:
1. The School of Foreign Languages of Peking University should openly state in writing the rules and regulations on which I have pressured parents, forced me to interview me in the morning and asked me to delete the relevant information on the disclosure of application information. Illegal and non-compliance operations should be clearly defined during this process. And take measures to prevent such incidents from happening again.
2. The Peking University School of Foreign Languages should immediately cease all acts of pressure on my family, formally apologize to my already frightened mother, clarify the facts, and help repair the family tension caused by the incident.
3. The School of Foreign Languages of Peking University must make an open written guarantee that this matter will not affect my graduation and will not continue to interfere with my dissertation writing process.
4. The School of Foreign Languages of Peking University is responsible for eliminating all adverse effects of this matter on my studies, future employment and family members.
5. The School of Foreign Languages of Peking University should make a clear written response to the appeal and give it to everyone concerned.
I will retain all legal rights to further investigate the responsibilities of relevant individuals and units, including but not limited to reporting to Peking University and higher authorities the serious violation of school regulations by the Foreign Language Institute.

Knowledge is on paper in the past, and now it is on computers in which chips are made from Si, thus knowledge is on Si.
Cloth is part of human in the past, and now mobilephone in which chips are made from Si too is part of human, thus Si is new cloth for human.
Gold, silver and fiats are currencies for human now. Free-market currencies such as crypto-currencies which are minted in Si factories will become new currencies in the future, thus Si will be the new paper for minting currencies in the future.
In conclusion Si will be everywhere in the future. Si is human although human doesn’t eat Si.

The Richest Man in Babylon is a book by George Samuel Clason that dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set in ancient Babylon. Through their experiences in business and managing household finance, the characters in the parables learn simple lessons in financial wisdom.
So I guess it teaches you how to be wise with money, has quite high ratings aswell according to google. Haven't read it yet, but I'll probably give it a shot.

So...the Bitcoin volatility index is down to 3.5% (down from over 7% in December). Back in 2016 it was down under 1% just before the price started to move upwards. Same in January 2013 and August 2013 (1.7%).
I think that the volatility index will come down next month, bitcoin will be boring, and the price will start it's move up from there (or it might take a couple of months to come down).

https://twitter.com/real_vijay/status/960595754149531648Feb-5-2018
5/ Bear market bottoms are formed after prolonged periods of false rallies, increasing disinterest and eventual apathy. The mindset is "I give up, I'll look for returns elsewhere". It also coincides with a dwindling of media interest.
6/ Sadly, we're not there yet and may not be for many months. I think it is unlikely we will wait for years, however, since the fundamentals of Bitcoin - security, usability, liquidity - are all improving rapidly.
10/ And if you speak with kids today, you will find that very few of them are interested in gold, but almost all of them know about (or own) Bitcoin. That alone tells you the future. Bitcoin WILL overtake gold in market capitalization eventually.
11/ So whether the bear market lasts a few months, or even a few years, Bitcoin is still massively undervalued today.

This has been known a long time; Leslie Lamport’s famous 1982 paper “The Byzantine Generals Problem” (link here) contains a description of the algorithm. The following will be my attempt to describe and reformulate the algorithm in a simplified form.

Introducing the 310 BTC Bitcoin Challenge
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5042285.0;topicseenThinking about ideas on how to do this I finally created a bitcoin challenge where BTC is to be found, hidden in a digital picture.
I have to admit it wasn't as easy as I projected and I had to exchange all airdrops for BTC.
While this wasn't a easy process for all of them, creating the picture was the most difficult since I'm not a artist myself.
Today, finally, I can announce the 310 BTC Bitcoin Challenge.
Yes, that's correct, there's 310 BTC hidden in the picture.

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2018-December/001752.htmlConclusion
==========
HTLCs allow creation of American Call Options.
The same HTLCs are used in Lightning Network to route across channels.
If using a single asset, there is no issue related to time.
Regardless of the value of bitcoin relative to any other asset, in the future, 1 BTC is 1 BTC.
However, across assets, the ability of HTLCs to create American Call Options becomes troublesome.
These can then be exploited to earn money from exercise of the option.
Further, because Lightning UX would be degraded otherwise, payment failures are free (gratis), leading to the American Call Options also being free of premium.
This means that creating such options would be riskless, allowing potential earnings upon any strong volatility of exchange rates.
This implies that a multi-asset Lightning Network may not be economically viable.
Instead, Lightning Network would strongly prefer having a single asset across the network.

you had 50 btc but gambled it away buying shitcoins? and you still want to keep the shitcoins? imho hodl refers to bitcoin, not to shitcoins.
Actually, no, I "earned" 50 BTC worth of shitcoins (well, I don't consider them shitcoins, but whatever) ... my mistake was not cashing them out to BTC when I had the chance, and in hindsight, cashing out those BTC to fiat (maybe some, not all) so that I can live comfortably for a couple years, and then find a normie job without worrying about the future. (50 BTC was $1m USD back in Jan 2018? Something like that.)
And continue to earn or hodl everything.
But hey, no one's perfect. Either learn from your mistakes, or learn from other's mistakes. Still think they were pretty good bets.
A bitcoin would help so much, I'm not going homeless, and I've got a family to keep warm.
Thanks for sharing.
In the end, you win some you lose some in this game.
I won a lot and lost a lot. I cashed out a lot when BTC was 1100$ and bought a (now the most expensive in the world) Ducati. Even tho that could have been a Ducati AND a Lambo I still don't regret that decision.
I sold 1200 ETH which I got by mining form the very start and by daytrading at a good profit. But in hindsight....
I had a nice Dash masternode purring. Sold it for a good profit, but in hindsight....
I had 98.5 BTC at my top. Now I only have a fraction
What I learned was:
- Take some profit now and then and enjoy that. That can never be taken away.
- Be patient
- Don't trade when there are emotions involved
So, some valuable lessons, a great adventure, and some nice spoils of war. Not what it could've been but I'm very happy.
This year I'm saving and trying to rebuild a decent stash of BTC as much as that is possible. Having more then one whole BTC is a win in my book already.
One’s wealth meets one’s ability.
When one gained or lost some wealth, one is only lucky or unlucky.
The ability includes financial knowledge, understanding people and human nature, understanding history and so on. When one masters the ability, one can know the world in a high vision.

https://twitter.com/TuurDemeester/status/1117158105563971584Bitcoin adoption is roughly tracking the trend for internet adoption. I made this in 2014, predicting 500M holders by 2020. @Wences estimates that we're currently at 60M Bitcoin holders.

but
Bitcoin addresses richer than 100 usd$ : 5,140,605
https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.htmli guess there are only 20M total crypto users in the world now, so reaching 500M holders is long way to go, maybe 2028.

What a very bad no good day all around:
Elwar loses his home and has to flee
Norte Dame is in flames
Btc drops
Bsv is delisted (not bad to me but for others)
And I get in a mother fucking wreck on the way home.
Let's hope tomorrow is better.
Smile and enjoy it, even in the damn prison, but THINK and try to find the solution.
Everyday is unique in ones life, and there are many miserable days in ones life. After these dark days, sunny days will definitely come, and everything is OK.
Just like bitcoin price was 3K+ in January, hodlers all know 30K will come later, maybe in one year, maybe 2 years, maybe…… but that day will definitely come, and everything will be awesome.

According to the survey, it was older investors who were the most common crypto buyers — those in their 50s, followed by 30-40-year-olds.
The past 10 years bitcoin adoption:
cypherpunk adoption
speculator+ programmer+miner adoption
youngerster adoption adoption
Now:
individual(50+, 30-40-) inverstor adoption.
That means individual is richer, buys more bitcoin. I guess the number will reach 100M users(bitcoin addresses richer than 100 usd$) in 5 years.
There are only 5M bitcoin addresses richer than 100 usd$, and 15M richer than 10 usd$ . If bitcoin price X10, there will be 15M addresses richer than 100 usd$. So there are 85M new addresses needed.
facebook users 1600M + wechat users 800M
There are about 2500M internet users in 7000M population.
5M bitcoin users is only 0.2%, we are in the Innovators stage of S-Cure.
100M bitcoin users is only 1/25, that is 4 %, so we will be still in the Early Adopters stage of S-Cure in 5 years later.
In the future:
the crowd adoption

https://twitter.com/MustStopMurad/status/1120856201548451840Bitcoin today, monetarily speaking, is only a few steps ahead of where pieces of unrefined gold were when Neaderthals first discovered them in the ground.
But its monetization is going to happen >100x faster because we now live in a deeply interconnected & accelerating world.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/9x2kbh/in_15_years_bitcoins_inflation_rate_will_be_lower/
Gold 20$ before 1934
Gold 35$ before 1971
Now 1300$
Gold inflation rate 2800/190000=1.47%
From 1970 to 2019, mined gold doubled. That means half gold was mined in the near 50 years.
After 2020 halving, bitcoin inflation rate =1.8%, still higher than gold inflation rate. So it is hard for bitcoin marketcap reaches gold marketcap before next halving.
After 2024 halving, inflation rate will be 0.8%. Bitcoin should get gold 7T marketcap , 19687500 coins will be mined.
20M * 350K = 7T (maybe early or later by 4 years.)

Where are we trading from, gentlemen?
DataLight analysts have done some interesting research, look at this.

source :https://datalight.me/blog/researches/longread/how-are-crypto-traders-distributed-across-the-globe/
The Data is counted on ip addresses, but when mobile app uses carrier’s network, its ip address changes all the time.
There is 3.5M crypto traders in Japan in Apri,2018.
https://www.fsa.go.jp/news/30/singi/20180410-3.pdf6.14/3.5=1.75
So there may be only 36M traders not 64M in these countries, and 30M traders don’t have bitcoin addresses which balances are bigger than 0.01, but store or buy altcoins in the exchanges.
By “80-20 rule”, their bitcoins equals 18M*20%=3.6M, every traders get 3.6M/36M=0.1 bitcoin.
In conclusion, 80% traders store 0.1 bitcoin/per user in exchanges, and don’t get their private key by themselves.

Falling below $6,000 last year was where it all started to go wrong last year. The price dropped at an alarming rate after we breached $6,000.
November 5th 2018 - $6,398
December 15th 2018 - $3,179
I don’t know about anybody else but that was a pretty fucking scary time for me. Breaking $6,000 would represent great progress & a sign for me that the bear market has long been left behind & we enter a new, baby bull market.
Enjoy gentlemen, this is going to be a very exciting run over the next year or two & I’m honoured to be on this train with you all.
Yes, it was scary indeed. The scariest part for me was that we fell too quickly from the annoying 6.4K below my main investment point at 4.6K. I felt pretty miserable then but also courageous and immediately I started to make plans how to buy. Anyway, I didn't hesitate each time when I got some money and immediately I bought bitcoins. I increased my sub 20 stash with 2 whole coins in these 3 months. Now I have to invest all my salary for 2 years to get 2 coins at these prices. I will continue to do it, no matter the price. Unfortunately, I had to pay in the last months taxes and insurances for $1K, so I wasn't able to buy more. Today I feel also miserable but for another reason. I attended a presentation by one of my students, who was in Sao Paolo, Brazil. He said, that a typical Uviversity salary is 10 times than my professor salary in Bulgaria. And Brazil is looked upon as a poor country. I am so sad that after 20 years of work my savings are equal to 10 months work in Brazil or any other country in the world in fact. Our country is the only in the world which pays the University professors less than the workers and teachers. I can't go to another country because there are no open positions in my speciality. So my only hope is to convert what is above my monthly expenses in Bitcoins. I drew a lesson from my mistakes in 2017 and I will hold long enough to achieve my goals. On one hand I regret for my lack of nerve back then, but on the other, this made me a strong hand. It may be helpful for some so I write in short my experience.
For starters, I lost my earnings from $700 to $1000 after the crash to $700 for 3 month in the winter of 2017. For an unexperienced trader 2 months is a lot of time, and finally I decided that Bitcoin will never return and sold. After that I thought Bitfinex will go bankrupt and I didn't buy until it was $2000. Then I made some small profit (and I sold bcash for $200) which was completely annihilated by the pump from my sell point $2700 to $4800. Again, 2 months of crashes in the Summer was too long to endure for me then. Next I entered at $4600 to see the drop to $3000 but this time I holded. When the day of the fork neared I panick sold and then they cancelled it so I bought at a higher position (thanks also to Kraken, which was broken and it didn't fulfill correctly the buy order). Finally, I panicked at 12K that the futures will put an end to the bull run and sold half of it. The same day the price went to 17K. I was in shock and somehow I rebought at some drop at $14K. In short: I was good enough to predict the day of the first peak to 17K, but not the hour. The difference was some 30-40%. The lesson is only one - no matter how good is one in trading, noone is so good that ALL his trades are successful. And one bad trade can annihilate 10 successfull trades. So, I will clench teeth and hold no matter what! I have endured more than a year of horrific crashes and I am ready to endure many more years, if this is the price I have to pay for my first $1 mil. I am still in the process of making a selling plan. As a starting point is to get at least 10x profit. But some coins should be kept for 100x also. Oh, well, this is a though problem

Just like my trading history with different time and price. After I knew the 80/10/10 rule, this is that 80% lose money, 10% get by, and the final 10% take the 80%ers money, I seldom trade, because I know I don’t have any advantage to beat the 80%ers.
When the price fell to $3179, I was a bit scared but much regretted for not selling all at 19666$. I did sell a bit at that price, and rebought at 11K. After I knew btc will not go to zero and will change the world, I felt as calm as a cucumber.
Hodl is what I am doing, and trading is what I occasionally did with losing a little bit stash everytime.

I tell you a bit about my start in Bitcoin, I feel ridiculous, but it's like this:
I started on the Internet in its beginnings, MSDOS and then in Windows, I had my time in web pages and in the purchase of domains, but unfortunately I never heard about Bitcoin, it was in August/September of 2017 when I bought Bitcoin for the first time.
I still do not understand how it is possible to be immersed in the network since 1990 with domains, web pages, design, servers and never have news of Bitcoin.
It seems fate kept me away for some reason.
I'm late and I feel like I'm hanging in the last carriage of the train.

Always Hodl with a small part for the trade.
I would have liked to be here from the beginning of the WO thread, I would probably have more BTC.
imho 95% of very early buyers of btc don´t own a large btc stash anymore.
-lost/destroyed hardware
-lost private keys
-spent for pizza or other stuff
-got hacked
-some bad trades
-going full retard as "daytrader"
-sold because it finally went over $10
-lost btc on mtgox and other exchanges
-bought shitcoins
-fell for scams
-invested in butterfly labs or other vaporware
-believed the bcash lies
-believed in the ETH flippening
-etc, etc
you are still early. mass adoption not here yet. if you manage to hodl a few whole btc you are going to be
allright.rich.
Yeah, that’s why I am sure that if I had known bitcoin in 2009 I might be have been screwed.
I might have accumulated a lot of bitcoins via CPU mining at home, faucets, exchanging etc.
I might have lost a LOT of bitcoins due to private keys lost/hardware corruptions.
Storing private keys and transaction wasn’t as easy as today back in the days. Wallets had clumsy key and address management.
Also I had a few HW fails in the years, I lost precious data, and back then I would surely have lost some private keys.
For sure I would have sold part of stash at dollar parity in 2013, at 10 USD or at 1000 USD... regretting all my poor made choices. I would have lost more trying to recover the original stash.
Today I would be constantly banging my head against the wall because of the lost money, even if I now would have probably 10x (ultra conservative estimate) of what I actually have today.
I couldn’t be as strong as Latszo, knowing to have spent millions usd on two pizzas.
Today, instead I consider myself lucky to have my slowly always increasing stash.

Bitcoin's price has quadrupled at the bottom of this year. With this momentum, this year's historical high of 20,000 US dollars will be passed next year. The adjustment is noise.
Missed people will always have a reasonable reason to miss, as long as the human mind has not fundamentally changed, the market will change the variety, you will still miss the way of changing the soup, such as turning the house 4 times before (this does not include the it pole) Customer's belief).
Why can I turn 4 times this year? The reasons for this can be counted a lot, but the key is that some traditional financial funds have changed their thinking, rooted in the dollar, and the traditional financial order that is no longer adapted to the current world situation.
I hope that investors in the market will not interpret and refute the science on the off-site. For more than 10 years, this time has passed. Otherwise, it will be unfair to the individuals who have been on the market. This year is a rare investment in the small small individuals. Set, pick up and create profit moments.

Market dominance is a shitty indicator, we all know why, and after Bitwise report we cannot ignore anymore his limitation, but, can still point in the right directions to intresting thoughts about market.
Market dominance just broke the peak during Dec '17 (price) ATH, and at 65,2% it is now at the highest levels since April 2017.

Another way of looking at the same phenomenon is the following: relative price movements of shitcoins versus BTC over the last 3M

1BTC=1BTC
Elsewhere: red, red everywhere.
Some obscure random shitcoin in the green, but just a statistical error, I guess.
This is truly remarkable.
I propose three reasons why market dominance is going north, I ask you your toughs.
I list there in the order of market relevance, in my opinion:
- Technology has progressed, people studied and has understood better how cryptos work, so they came to the right conclusion shitcoins are indeed...shitcoins. Shitcoins value proposition has since faced and now they are clearly revealed for what they have always been: (kind of elaborate) exit scams by fraudster to transfer your bitcoin in their wallets.
- We are on the verge of an epochal bull run caused by institutional money on the brink on entering cryptocurrencies. Of course the main gateways for this to happen is Bitcoin. I can't see them diversifying their investment into other bitcoins in the near future both because lack of regulations, lack of liquidity and above all security and scrutiny on this coins.
- The more Bitcoin performs versus shitcoins, the more the random investors will be keen on buying bitcoins and abstain to shift to shitcoins, because Bitcoin IS the asset performing. SO kind of self-fulfilling mechanism/shelling point where you don't want to convert your bitcoin into other assets
What are your toughs?
Altcoiners have less bitcoin than 5 years before after traded the altcoins for years based on the 80/10/10 rule, then more and more bitcoins go to institutional investors and holders.
But if bitcoin dominace goes to 80% or more , maybe there will be a altcoin bull.

If bitcoin reaches gold marketcap 6.6T, the price of btc will be 330K$. We all know US has got 334B $ gold reserve, but doesn’t have any bitcoin yet, maybe have 1000+ coins.
I guess bitcoin may rocket to 100K+-$ in 2021, and this cycle will be the last bull cycle, but will fall down to 20K later. After 4-8 years bitcoin will stay at 100K$ level, then move up little by little to its destiny.
2069 AD, Bitcoin will step slowly up to 1M $, if it finally defeat US dollar and become the first reserve money in the world.

TA is voodoo, it NEVER works reliably. Economics of the process is what actually works.
TA is based on probability, that is based on mathematics, 1s and 0s. The latter has been reliably tested for thousands of years. The former, for only a couple of hundred maybe.
Economics is based on a load suits in a room deciding whey think is best to do with their money, at the detriment of anyone else.
My faith in mathematics is inexplicably higher than any moronic human species based intelligence.
Believe what you want, I know what I'll be putting my money on: 1s and 0s.
TA has almost nothing to do with math, it is mostly interpretation of the prior data with Fibonacci numbers thrown in to give it a 'pseudo'-scientific feel.
However, if it works for you due to some 'hidden' parameter that you don't even realize exist, so be it.
Happy trading!
Technical indicators are exclusively based on mathematics, the source code would tell you this if you bother to read them, but never-mind.
Thanks @dragonvslinux's nice charts, i like it very much.

i write some thoughts about The Next-Generation Decentralized Social Media
IntroductionThe Next-Generation Decentralized Social Media is a decentralized, trustless, uncensored network.
Every user sets a node in local PC, mobile phone, or renting a cloud server for fast connection. There are several Directory Servers in the network which store all users’ public information: IP/domain, name, site etc . A user can follow another user by pull the latter’s IP/Domain from the Directory Server to node.
Every user has a private key and public key pair, the latter is users account number. When a user sends a tweet to the network(actually to followers), must signs it first. One of followers may re-tweet, comment or like the tweet. The user can delete the tweet too, after that a deletion tweet will send to the followers, and quotation of the tweet will be deleted from followers’ node.

a nice thread about bitcoin price prediction
I predict that some time in the next ten years, a single Bitcoin will exceed the price of a median single-family home in the United States. According to Zillow, that price right now is $236,900.

In conclusion, I see Bitcoin as the most likely candidate to back (at least in part) a new world of emerging digital currencies. Bitcoin is a censorship resistant, scarce, digitally native asset that only needs to survive while the current system crumbles around it.

Don’t panic
Maybe Remdesivir will save the world, just need some time to wait for the result of clinical trial.
As I know from the news, it is best medicine so far to combat the COVID-19.
Life is processes of waiting, and we have to enjoy them, even don’t like them.
We’ll see the medicine, the ATH, the future.

20 Feb: Italy has 1000+ total covid-19 cases
10 Mar: Italy locks down with 10K+ total cases
11 Mar: America has 1000+ total covid-19 cases
10 days later, America will has 10K+ total cases, and has to lock down whole country. After 14-21 more days, I hope we can see new cases to recess down to 100 a day.
So bitcoin will may hit the bottom after 13 April.
Anyway 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin.
When hodlers hold, they don’t hope ATH tomorrow, but their mindset get stronger.
When hodlers see the price kisses the weekly 200SMA, they will buy a little if they have free cash on hand, or they will continue to read the books without free cash.
When hodlers see the ATH someday, they will continue to read the books if they don’t need anything, or ……

https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/202003173908/regeneron-to-begin-large-scale-manufacturing-of-covid-19-treatment-in-aprilRegeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Tuesday its scientists have isolated hundreds of virus-neutralizing, fully human antibodies from the company's VelocImmune mice, which have been genetically-modified to have a human immune system.
The biotechnology company said it has also isolated antibodies from humans who have recovered from Covid-19 to maximize the pool of potentially potent antibodies.
From this large pool of candidates, Regeneron will select the top two antibodies for a cocktail treatment based on potency and binding ability to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, as well as other desirable qualities, and begin production in April.

Neglect the price, get into the newest tendency.
10 years later, you’ll be rewarded for what you do today.
30 years later, you’ll be proud of what you do today.
