How many bitcoinds do you think there will be at the end of the year?

Even if there is a fork, I don't see the weaker alt surviving till the end of the year.  Wink
So I guess, there will be just one Bitcoin at the end of the year. And ~17 million bitcoins.
damn, you win the prize for morphological correctness.

yes that should be quite long enough to kill off the alt
I don't know.  Ethereum Classic is still going strong after the Ethereum Foundation tried their best to dump it to oblivion.

It'll be somewhat related to people's principles.  The BIP148 fanboys are mostly all talk/no walk, and I expect that to drop pretty low.  Whether or not it'll still exist though is a different question.

Who knows, maybe there could be end up being three.  The original, the BIP 148 coin and a third coin which implements some crap like SegWit + 2mb.

If this Hardforks and we have a Coin split, then we might end up with 2 or 3 different variants of Bitcoin. Original Coin / Legacy Coin / BIP148Coin

or whatever they want to call it. After a while, people will see that there can only be ONE Bitcoin and they will resort back to that. Let's hope this

scaling War will end soon and that the original Bitcoin developed by Satoshi will survive. {with a few tweaks}  Smiley

Well, I assume you mean "Bitcoin nodes using the CLI client" with bitcoinds.

So, humm, well, there are about 7000 nodes at this moment. We must now calculate the proportion of the CLI clients among them. Maybe 10% (700). And now calculate the growth until the end of the year: about 900.

(Sorry, could not resist Grin)

Not at all and thank you so much for reading the question and for replying.
I'm not sure that is really what I mean, but still, yes, command-node count will probably go up like you suggest.
btw I worry whether any of these node counters are to be believed

How many bitcoinds do you think there will be at the end of the year?

If you talk about my income, I think I can earn 2 bitcoin this year, although it's not much, but I think it is enough for me.
wasn't talking about it no. clearly.
what are you doing to earn that?

Whistles in a low voice (X is the number of forks), based on the scheduled block generation rate of one block per 10 minutes.

Nearly 18 million and the price continues to increase until 21 million bitcoins are found at least to actually go to a higher price 100x than the current price Smiley


Thread was designed to provoke thought and discussion. Answer is obvious to some, not others.

You didn't read the title correctly. You didn't read the previous answer.

Still you earned a bob or two so that's fine.
