Peter Todd's pushing to INCREASE the supply of BTC beyond 21 million. Won't this cause the price to plummet through the floor? Feeling sick if I'm honest.

Proposes to whom?
Who owns Bitcoin?
Like, who even gets to vote or say yes or no?
Can they ask everyone holding BTC?

>you cant just change bitcoin
bitcoin's canonicity is entirely subject to whatever the nodes agree upon. it has changed in the past (there are numerous aspects of modern Bitcoin that were not present in the original Bitcoin software) and it will change again

It seems whoever has the majority of mining control gets to decide, is not impossible but would kill bitcoin effectively as a store of value, gold mining is controled and the public gold quantities are never revealed to thus preserve golds value, there is a LOT of gold but only becomes real gold when documents backing its existence are created, until then is just ghost gold

The "plan" is to hold BTC until 2025 and then get the fuck out, sayonara, goodbye forever hello boring 5-10% return ETFs and real estate.
If you hold after that you are worse than GME-tards.

>> No.56588540

>>56588500
Yeah, obviously.
Bitcoin's security is decentralization. The more centralized it becomes, the less secure it is. Common sense at this point.

What's interesting to see is how other failed cryptocurrencies that were actually attacked with 51% attacks turned out and what we can learn from them.

all of these systems work through consensus. every node uses software implementing the same set of standards. when a change is implemented to those standards, and everyone generally agrees to it and changes their software accordingly, it is called a fork. if someone acquires enough power to force the change, without obtaining real democratic consent, then it is a sybil attack.

I've been trading and holding Bitcoin since 2016 now and this will be my 3rd "bull run". If you think I'm holding for another 4 years after this for a measly 1.5x return at most (this is what you'll see in 2028) you've gone delusional. 2024-2025 is the perfect time to get out.

Bitfuck cannot exist under a high interest rate environment. This entire time it was all sustained by corporate miner debt, they will NOT afford to massively upgrade their infrastructure that they’re still paying off to maintain relevance. Eventually people will drop this piece of shit and a couple GME-tier retards will be verifying the blocks from their moms basements, while transactions take 15 business days and the retards barely brake even after energy costs continue to rise.
