Topic: Speculative and Historical Milestones: BTC Updates - page 2. (Read 374 times)

i think we need to start a lot more discussions about all the bitcoin bubbles other than the 2013 one so that people can start seeing the bigger picture and stop thinking just because 2013 is the easiest thing to find on the charts there is no other point of reference when it comes to bubbles and bear markets after them.

02-April-2017 Japan accepts bitcoin as a legal payment method aka a currency
03-July-2017 Japan eliminates tax on bitcoin payments

28-Dec-2017 First real bitcoin payment using lightning network through BitRefill (Bitrefill reached 1BTC in total payments through LN after 5 months)

08-Dec-2017 Mempool and Fees ATH (>170k transactions in the mempool, >80 MB)

I always enjoy seeing these because it shows just how much prices have tended to increase on the halvings. If the same happens again then we can be set for a big increase in just around 2-3 years time, doesn't seem to be too much time to wait.

Sure, I like to use these sorts of threads as reference points. Thanks for taking the time.


Considering that Bitcoin Core (based on its versioning sequence) is still in beta, I'd say we're much further off than this. I think Lightning adoption (like Bitcoin adoption) will front-run stable end-user software by many years.

I'd like to track Speculative Milestones with a few Historical Milestones for reference.

Is this of value? Anything to contribute? edit: Thanks for contributions, I'll keep adding them.

we got a 25% discount on bitcoin sales thanks to this FUD and then prepared for the launch to the moon. it sounds silly now that i think about how i bought bitcoin around $350 that day
