Topic: Halving, who's closest with actual Nrs TAKE A CHANCE on the LIST !!! - page 5. (Read 10149 times)

That guy LFC_Bitcoin needs some movement to get to 11251-11300

That’s not a nice thing to say about all these fine people taking the time to share there opinions?

Imagine being so fragile of conviction that even a minority opposition makes you want to shut down a discussion.

Now imagine having not the slightest doubt about what is going on, such that even when the majority disagrees you feel quite secure. What kind of crazy person does that take!?

That’s always been what it like to support Bitcoin in the face of overwhelming adversity. Nothing has changed.

I’ve been “shut down” in one way or another for years. It tells me more than you can even imagine.

I hope the thread stays open because I like reading what others are posting. Regardless of the fact I don’t agree with most of it. It’s essential to understand both sides of something, more so the side you don’t agree with.

As for me, I am not sure if my prediction would hit, if BTC would not pump to $10,000 again then I will give up my hope for that easily.
It seems like bitcoin is still struggling to rise to $10,000 now, after it's good start this year, it is not quite stable with no major movement so far.. what's the next move here? uptrend or downtrend?

Price is way higher than I expected. I thought it will go up a few months after the halving.
Apparently, until now, I was wrong.

But let's see what the future reserves us...

The pre-halving date is closing in, I think where at 50% of the game, curieus where we will end

Please keep the topic, and the discussions open. We don't have to strangle anyone's opinions just to keep everything on-topic. Everyone should be free to express themselves.

I know normal I close and re open them a week before the ending.... but I thought to keep it open for this one, see what happens is some good discussion comes out of it or not?!

It's serving the general purpose of the forum though. Educating the newbies. Plus debates/arguments are a good way for exposing the trolls/fudsters/people spreading misinformation.

Keep them posting.

go high

The darkest hour is just before the dawn.   No I think the opposite really, we are out of the recent uptrend thats been in play this year, it is up today and thats a positive and its broken something of a recent negative trend to do that.  If it was correct to call this prior channel upwards (it was never perfectly formed) then we have also left it seems quite certain.
   I said before this channel was way too aggressive and if it had continued it would have way over shot my estimated touch down area of around 11k but I still think we will end up there probably for reasons of volume.   Its the channel which buckled under the weight of so much thrust forwards, price is then going to be taking a rest.     So yep today was up but I think its confirmation of the break and to get a proper sell downwards we exhaust the buyers at this point.
   I guess we'll see quite quickly how wrong or right that is, I'm not waiting for the weekly bar to resolve but daily we are touching the underside of that last aggressive channel and its coinciding with 10500 area just about.   That should be enough to form a ceiling and we push downwards from  there.   Just a near term observation, my guess is we go back to near 200 day average and so on maybe do some donuts and spin back to here later on.   Until it comes back across 9700 again its not really bearish, 10k is early warning

Tbf I think you're right. I started giving up on sub $10K a while ago, I just always have a hope that we'll correct significantly below, but not TA to back up that argument 

Great day, and we are back to $10,000 now, still more time and I think  another high for this year will be created with his possible new pump incoming.
There's still more than a month before the competition concluded, I think those who pick below $10,000 just have to give up now... lol.. kidding..

The list closed on January 10th according to the opening post. Maybe I've missed summat. A thread this well served is a fine opportunity for the same dreary people to spurt their dreariness all over it as is currently being ably demonstrated.

Because there is an active game based on estimating the price leading upto the Bitcoin block halving (that has yet to occur).
This thread is for being to be able to discuss and speculate, which no doubt will be more popular nearer the end date on April 1st 2020.
Hope that helps explain things for you!

Why isn't this thread locked? It's not serving any purpose now.

The moment Mr. Bett used the word 'gigamegs' with a straight face is the same moment that the final drip fell from the glans of cred and splattered on the bus station toilet floor.

It's funny how many guys talk about de/centralisation as if it were a binary thing. LN is centralised and decentralised. Bitcoin is decentralised and centralised. What matters is the degree of each.

So you answered saying that LN is centralised. I reply to you saying it is decentralised. Both answers are correct.

But I asked you if you consider BSV to be more decentralised than LN. You did not directly answer that.

That being said. I do expect most high traffic payments sidechain to be more centralised than decentralised. Otherwise it would not scale enough for massive adoption to compete with paypal, visa, etc. Unless you do know some genius way to *SCALE* several orders of magnitude more using blockchain. If you do, maybe you should create your own new coin. It would be a blast.

I don't know why you talk about Liquid which is an EXTREMELY (not 100%, but almost) centralised sidechain. As intended.  

NO.
Just fucking no.

edit: btw, fuck off to a relative thread, will ya?

I haven't read the link yet, but let's assume it it's all true and in context, that shouldn't stop developers from building.

Plus, as the stupid one in the forum, I can tell you, R&D on scaling protocols on top of Bitcoin is better than weather data, and giga-meg-blocks on the blockchain.

The Lightning Network is not decentralised. It's in the article I linked. I and countless other have been saying this since LN was first conceived. Now you have a study from Blockstream telling you the very same... what's the problem here? what's not to understand?

The Bitcoin network is decentralised, because economic incentives compel miners to connect directly with each other resulting in a network topography that resembles a complete graph.

This continue to be the case in BSV because those incentives have not been perverted by the introduction of schemes such as Liquid which are designed to move tx (and therefor miner rewards aka incentives) off chain.

Gazeta, linking that propaganda thread just tells me you've outsourced thinking about this stuff. GL with that.
