nah, halving will be a boom, if anything.

So you think. And so EVERYONE thinks. Which means everyone is holding and buying for after the halving. Which means there will be a huge dump after the halving. Which means... Well I think you understood ^^

interesting thought. we'll see, i suppose.

Problem being that in fact you absolutely can't know because of all the parameters... I find the idea interesting but...

Well it's all a bet I suppose. But in the end the price will rise that's for sure!

...
On the next reward halving hundreds of millions of dollars in obsolete mining hardware will be sold cheaply privately or online. This will open a window of vulnerability giving an attacker the possibility to buy a huge amount of hashing power for very little money and execute a 51% attack.

Embarrassed

Right, or simply a mega factory mine which hasn't bought into the latest generation gear & is stuck with hangars already built out & running.
Unable to mine by the rules, so no longer invested in BTC, but able to form an axis of evol with other newly-obsoleted factory mines & wreak havoc Shocked

It's going back up! Come on, Adam. It's only four bucks.

na

i gata go to bed if i bet 4$ i will stay up, and my girl will be sad, and thats just no good for me.

but hey $4 says >412.5 by morning, take it or leave it.

you've made $2 so far, why not bet $4

i really gtg,

let's make a few more bets on some 2hr candles or somthing tomorrow, it's fun!

Why the hell not? You've been a good sport, so ok. deal.

GOOOOOD morning
Grin

yeah, you won your two bucks back. Congratulations. We're even.

ok now...

300$ says every single month price will be > then the previous month for the next 10 years. Grin

I'd take you up on that, but I don't want to have $300 tied up in escrow for ten years. My short is in eminent danger of getting rekt, so I'd have to pull it out of cold storage. If you're right, $10 worth of bitcoin today would more than cover it!

I agree with you, it looks like the bear market is finally over, but there will be down months after the next bubble.

I guess people figured out even a contended hard fork would not leave two chains for more than a day or two, tops. This blocksize issue is not going to go away, but remember in 2013 we all suspected Gox was insolvent, but it didn't stop the Great Bubble.

Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Now I'm thinking fullblocalypse and the halving cancel each other out. Either way, they're both well known and likely priced in.

Of course we'll have down months. Just after the halving for example ^^

^Lol, I know you didn't put much thought into a bet you'd be obligated to pay next month if the price tanked, and I would only need to pay in ten years, and only if the price kept climbing month-over-month (that $300 would be worth ~$150 by then, too Cheesy

I'll take that

P.S. is that real US dollars, or that funny Canadian money?

i'd rather bet on this with USD, Canadian money is very colorful.

K, done deal

i was half joking...
i'd reword this bet a bit if i was actually going to take it.
