Bitcoin has failed to become easy enough to use by the general population (commoners).

The planetary post-lockdown money system must be simple to use. A child must be able to use it.

AnonyMint asks us to tell you that he told you that years ago, but you weren’t able to hear. And he also says you will not be the leader of that money system as you describe in your other post:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54303817

AnonyMint also asks do you remember when you disagreed on the phone a decade ago with his belief that China was a threat?

I have thought of the latter statement and now have something to say on the subject:

People are different. There are things that, by nature, become used by everyone on the planet. The others don't.

Ease of use is one reason Bitcoin won't become the predominant money system. Fixed supply, which results in low velocity of money, is probably a more important reason.

That doesn't mean BTC won't greatly appreciate in value. My opinion is we are still destined for 7 figures USD eventually. I also think BTC could eventually become a reserve asset, although it's very unlikely to be directly pegged to national currencies due to its fixed supply.

In my understanding, number of bitcoin users now is only 350,000, less than a million at least.

When it reaches 100 million, we are still in early adopter phase in global scale.

using today's values based on OP's formula the bit coin price should be:


10^(-2.869800 + 0.003012 * ((number of days since 2009 Jan 03)/days)) =

$26,439



Formula is too good! Now I know this. Thank you for sharing I will study and apply them to this market. Great.

Bitcoin may not necessarily have a traditional single S-curve hockey stick, because there are a number of completely different markets it competes for that could achieve critical mass over completely independent timeframes.

I will only try to explain to you that the logistics model does not apply to the market of speculation, but applies to the adoption of bona fide technology (eg radio adoption, TV, car, cell phone, etc. Instead of speculative markets, an exponential price followed by the fall of the waterfall.
 The exponential increase in the market of speculation always has a waterfall collision. Can you find a counter example? For example, look at the history of Cisco and Microsoft stock prices. There is something that everyone should use on the internet, the router, but you see the exponential rise and fall of the waterfall.
 Do not configure the general crypto-currency application with speculation that Bitcoin is perfect. Because replacing the existing 100-year financial system with a new model for the community requires a lot of analysis. It's not as simple as the real benefits of TV or mobile phone. It seems that the aggregate result for Bitcoin is dystopian so it is unlikely to be stable. And as a mathematician you must apply and understand well that irrelevant models if the wrong ones are still applied.
 I do not think we'll see a waterfall collapse like in Bitcoin (at least not one that does not recover the trend) soon.

Hi, I'm struggling to reproduce / update these coefficients based on current data - can you please point me to an example / excel spreadsheet with formulas? Or is it an iterative approach?
Thanks.

Put the values into a spreadsheet as Date,Price

You're going to want to normalize your dates per rpietila's convention, where date is number of days since 2009-01-03. In Excel you can accomplish this by taking your column of dates, subtracting the function date(2009,01,03), and showing as numbers.

You're going to want to add a column that is the log base 10 of price. ( =log10() )

Do a least squares on [log base 10 of price] as a function of [number of days since 2009-01-03]. This is a built-in function in the Excel graphing features (there is an option to show you the exact function in y=mx+b form overlaid on the chart itself).

That linear function will now output the log of price.

You can calculate the linear model price by adding a column that's =10^(your least squares function). You could literally create a column where you start "=10^(" and paste in your least squares function, and replace the variable with a cell reference.

$26,439

The coefficients -2.8698 and 0.003012 are dynamic and recalculated daily from past price data.

So it's more like $5,000 now - which still IS somewhat higher than the actual price  Cheesy

Not sure if this has been posted but this is the calculation of where today's price is versus the trend line

Our only hope is now on the Winklevii brothers to deliver a solid alternative with the Gemini exchange. I really really really hope they don't fuck up, that would be terrible. If even the supposedly trusteable exchanges like theirs fail to be solid, then it's game over.

Well, that sounds really really pathetic.
Why would we be dependent on two twins.
If bitcoin was only dependent on them, it would be a *massive* failure already.

+1 true.

We're off with this.
Now all we hear is "price doesn't matter"

I think this is happening:

Crossing the chasm:


I think we are still visionaries. Ask around and its like 1/10 people have even heard of bitcoin in real life.

U could say that, but thats not the reason why bitcoin isnt much higher priced and adopted. The main problem is lack of regulations surrounding bitcoin, and while any dumbo can open up a bitcoin exchange without being able to protect themselves against theft, and provide a transparent business, im surprised were still in tripple digits.
Protect businesses, protect clients that are investing, and we will have great success, until then , bitcoin will allways be considered shady to say atleast.

cheers

Good stuff never dies. I did the exponential trendline analysis for the first time in some time. The presentation of the graphics is still not my strong area so please ask for the graphs with instructions. I have them but don't know how to transfer them here  Embarrassed

- The trendline has been revised down in each of the recalculations (I did one every 2-3 months). The trendline price is $3,210 (cf. it would have been $6,000 if the year-ago trend were extrapolated).

- Until 7/2014, the trendline R^2 got better all the time, peaking at 0.9353. Since 7/2014, the R^2 has been getting lower and is now 0.9246. The linear fit in exponential chart is no more the best fit. Eg. the 3rd degree polynomial y = -0,000000x3 + 0,000002x2 + 0,001635x - 2,740811 gives the R^2 = 0.9480. This trendline shows its apex in the latter part of 2014, and is now in decline.

- The variation from the exponential trend that was contained at [-0.6, 0.5] units log ever since autumn-2011, is now broken and we are at -1,13 currently. We have never been this low, because the trend was only established a few months after Mt.Gox opened in 2010, and initially we were all the time above the trend.

- Absent all fundamental considerations (mainly: recognition, adoption, tx number and volume, trade volume, acceptance, economy size, VC investment - which all point to a continuing uptrend) it is possible that the exponential uptrend is broken.

- Considering all fundamental considerations, and the fact that regardless of the trendline we choose, we are currently well below it, the situation now is favorable to go long instead of short.

The subject of the thread. I even promised pictures if you tell me which aspect needs visualization.

regulations are not protections, they are protection rackets.

People advocating for regulations are the either the racketeers or, amazingly, their gullible marks.

I assume this chart refers to the amount of people joining?



yes,

If you take the "integral" of this chart, you should get the total number of users (and in my opinion that needs to correlate closely to the market cap)
