Assuming that's correct and every American puts something like $1k into BTC on average, that would be enough capital to double the BTC market assuming 100% float. Since we actually have like 5% float, you ain't seen shit yet. On top of that, the Lightning Network just demo'd on mainnet and is probably going to roll out in Q1 2018. This bubble isn't going to pop before that, and when you can buy and spend BTC with a fucking play store app you are going to see the biggest normie gold rush since California circa 1850

BCH can't "flippen" BTC any more; the new algorithm they adopted pegs the BCH mining difficulty to parity with mining BTC in terms of profitability, so BCH literally cannot become more profitable than BTC to mine for an extended period of time. The reverse is actually more likely to happen right now, as the massive BTC unconfirmed txn pool and high profitability (hash rate doesn't come online as fast as the price has risen) is incentivizing all but the most diehard cashie to mine BTC not BCH. The BCH difficulty will slowly go down in the next few days/hours, and that may cause the price of BCH to fall as well.

The price keeps touching the yellow line and then going back up so it will probably keep touching the yellow line and going back up because people in the past have been willing to buy at the yellow line before and they will probably continue doing so because so far it's been working for them. Since the yellow line is going up, that probably means the price will keep going up too.

>> No.4861725

Not just mining - BTC has too much going for it:

> first(!) IOU in history that can't be inflated through printing (HUGE!)
> lightning network not far from roll-out
> bitcoin unlimited on chain scaling (1GB blocks)
> survived almost everything thrown at it

Meanwhile, BCH is just a Bernie Sanders occuping a state with fellow socialists, complaining about fake problems no one has - and getting others to join "the revolution".

BCH exists only because it gave out "free coupons" by forking BTC. Then it was pumped enough to discourage people from just dumping immediately.

(Anyone remember Groupon?)

This airdrop model really bombed with BTG, because whales got lots of free coins too - which they carefully and gradually "de-accumulated" at max profits. To then buy BTC.

BTG "mining fairness" assumes users care about mining at all.

Even the "transactions are too slow!" thing got old fast: compared to IOTA/XRP/RAI/whatever. Even if BTC is a dinosaur, it's Chad and BCH is just a virgin bambiraptor at best.

BTC is too big to fail. BCH is too big to succeed (can't evolve - no devs).

I'm wondering if there's anything BTC can't survive...

Congrats; you reached bubble-mania before the normies. Yes, there is always something a market cannot survive, at least in the short run.

>are you saying BTC is in a bubble
EVERYONE knows its a bubble. The question is are you stupid enough to go long, or autistic enough to go short. Either way, you're fucked. If you are Chad enough, by which I mean if your chakras are aligned so well with the universe that you are a demigod, then you'll know when to stop being long and go short, and it will be the Big Short. It's too far ahead right now to predict, but since everybody wants numbers I could see somewhere between 20-25k going to 5-8k, at which place BTC will stabilize for quite some time.

My point: BCH and Bitcoin unlimited are just forks. Same codebase.

It's proof that whatever BCH and Bitcoin Unlimited can do, Bitcoin can also do if needed.

On short notice.

Well, I am in direct contact with Olfag, who is unable to post atm. He says the kid is wrong once in a great while, but not very often. He is also arrogant, Like Oldfag, which Oldfag thinks will serve him well. Oldfag is wrong once in a great while as well, although it is tough for him to admit it, he still does. Oldfag is in getting some work done atm. He was killed in 78, lost part of his face. They brought him back and gace him a new face.

I agree. Longing/shorting BTC is insane. Unless you're a major exchange.

(Shorting the BTG fork, however, would've been smooth sailing. Without a single bump).

I disagree about where the bubble starts and ends.

Heck, oldfagbiztard's estimates are too conservative (and thus - very reliable!).

Bitcoin ISN'T overvalued right now. And even $50,000/BTC is a bargain.

If the market panic sells, that's not proof of a bubble - that's just the market being retarded.

"how long in bytes the private key is"

32 bytes, or 256 bits

"then how many combinations of numbers it will contain"

There are 2^256 different private keys. That's a little larger than a 1 followed by 77 zeroes.

"what is the fastest computer or network of supercomputers"

At its peak around August 2011, the Bitcoin network was checking 15 trillion sha256 hashes per second. (See http://bitcoin.sipa.be/))

"how long it would take to crack a private key using that computer"

If we assume it takes the same time to run an ECDSA operation as it takes to check an sha256 hash (it takes much longer), and we use an optimisation that allows us to only need 2^128 ECDSA operations, then the time needed can be calculated:

>>> pow(2,128) / (15 * pow(2,40)) / 3600 / 24 / 365.25 / 1e9 / 1e9
0.6537992112229596
It's 0.65 billion billion years.

That's an very conservative estimate for the time taken to break one single Bitcoin address.

It doesn't have to be a bug in bitcoin, it can be a bug in any tool or device used to generate a private key. OpenSSL for Debian was reduced to something like 30,000 unique keys because a maintainer was annoyed by valgrind complaining about memory reads and commented out the two lines of code that gave OpenSSL most of it's entropy.

Look into hybrid PoS/PoW coins; I think mintcoin had an open-source scrypt github available for it and it was hybrid. The economic theory behind it suggests the price rise and adoption would be much more stable if you begin with a large PoS interest rate on the initially mineable coins, but have a low block reward. Over time on a logistic curve, increase the block reward to miners while decreasing the interest rate linearly. Finally, begin halving the block reward in the same fashion as BTC while the interest rate approaches it's asymptotic value (say 1%/year). Now you have a distribution system that constantly incentivizes holding at the beginning while also incentivizing people to adopt the coin as early as possible in both mining and holding during it's expansion phase, and that leads to having a much lower concentration of wealth than BTC has, which means a more widespread market and faster adoption.
