All I'm saying dude, is I remember bitcoin at the beginning, and I'll try to remember what got me interested.. 21 million coin's, that can be mined. Mining will increase in difficulty.. I remember posting about the cost of leccy then.. What I read, was only when all the coin's available are distributed, NOT hoarded, will they gain in value, and only when all coins are mined will the true potential be realised, but people are hoarding, so this 'potential' is being denied, that, believe it or not, is all I been saying in my mad kilt wearing scotsman style.. if they insult my intelligence, by questioning my speculation, then they deserve the long winded answer's they deserve as to why when they thought it would jump up in price, suddenly over a million coin's are dumped, crashing all their latest hopes.. I predict a crash by end nxt week max. Thanks to my aussie pals who know what I been saying
People hoarding is not the problem, for when all coin's are mined, this is WHEN to hoard. It's when they do it.. they're doing it too early to be of any use.. sorry, but I do know a bit about what it was MEANT to be..
Please explain to us why people should even waste time to purchase bitcoin, if not to hoard?
The vast majority of it is probably hoarded as you already know.
Why?
Because...there is not much else that can be done with it at the moment.
In the beginning, it's primary use was speculation and use in nefarious activity...it still is!
Slowly, it is gaining traction as a store of wealth and it is now accepted as a legitimate & decentralized payment processor.
This alone will drive hoards of people to Bitcoin adoption in the future!
Anyway what exactly are you proposing bitcoin adopters to do
Would you like us to sell off all of our unneeded bitcoin assets?
In doing so, there will be a lot more coins for new adopters...perhaps at a cheaper and fairer price!
It will also become more evenly distributed among the masses.
However, the reality is... that was not meant to be as the world is dominated by
Capitalism!
Just so that you know, Nakamoto never meant for Bitcoin to be evenly distributed.
If he did, then the great visionary would have created a lot more than 21 million coins for the 7 billion people on Earth.
On another note,
You said:
"for when all coin's are mined, this is WHEN to hoard."If that is so who exactly should start the hoarding process
Bitcoin says:
"The last block that will generate coins will be block #6,929,999 which should be generated at or near the year 2140."Are we to wait 125 years from now?
The truth is...Satoshi Nakamoto had a few oversights.
What he thought
should happen didn't exactly turn out the way he planned.
He didn't expect:
- ASICs & so many coins to be mined so quickly
- Or people hoarding so soon
It doesn't matter if the powers that be shut down the internet...Bitcoin will still survive!
They cannot create a worldwide blackout because there will always be rebel nations and anarchists willing to defy authority.
I am sure Nakamoto would have thought through various scenarios about the survival of Bitcoin and he didn't run scared at the thought of the internet unplugged or hoarding or unfair distribution.
Stop your
FUD spreading!
If you and your Aussie friends want to live under a rock "down under", then so be it.
Anyway...who let the nut out the nuthouse?
