Nobody is selling their BTC for 25k
I wouldn't be surprised to see it at 50k within a month.

If nobody was selling the price would only go up, someone is selling and it isn't you guys.

The only guy who Sold, bought back a few days later at a higher price and then FOMO and now he underwater....

Bitcoin is Bitcoin it could easily touch 25k and 50k in the same month.

No such thing as a coin that is nor for sale

Well I've got my money riding that says it does the latter. Who's got their money riding that it's going to 25K?

In the game of BTC, as I've said before, it's all about the lows. Higher lows. BTC has only made a new low 2 days in a row a hand full of times in the last few months. I expect that trend to continue.

There’s a large # of coins that aren’t for sale. The owners no longer hold the private keys and they are lost forever.

It looks like someone missed the conversation from earlier about all the lost coins.

Interesting to see who crawls out to dunk on me

If in the future, someone with a quantum computer, breaks Satochi's encryption, are the coins still "lost?"

Just wondering, is being the first mover the only real advantage to BTC over other cryptos? I mean, isn't Litecoin basically Bitcoin but a bit faster?

I read an article where investor Jim Rogers said something like " there's an infinite number of currencies with a finite number of coins". Obviously being first and the most popular is important, but if we are comparing it to gold... what's to stop another gold being created that becomes as valuable (or, so many alternatives being created that the value of all gets diluted).

If you have dual citizenship already and don't plan to live in the USA, yes.

weren't you the guy that said the USA was going to have a civil war with the dollar collapsing like a week ago?

The end is near. Except when it isn't.

That is not how it works. Many coins whatsoever can easily coexist together. They already do. Similar like traditional payment methods paypall, venmo, credit card, apple pay, cash, samsung pay etc....

What is necessary for another coin to become more valuable than bitcoin?

People are incentivized to use bitcoin. They can either leave bitcoin and support another coin. It might take quite a while (2 years in bitcoins case) before that network grows sufficiently large, become monetized and their incentive for running the new coin reaches a breakeven point. There is obviously a disincentive for splitting resources and run both networks. One can do it but without fully understanding the real liquidity of both networks it would never be a good choice to split-and-run. Networks that are monetized from scratch are doomed to fail or are usually outright scams.

But yes, if somebody comes up with a full CS solution to the byzantine problem, builds a prototype and serious proposal then there is a reasonable chance that bitcoin will have a real competitor. But even if somebody finds a theoretical solution, getting it deployed and grow a decent decentralized network organically is still another thing....

Maybe, but you could have said the exact same thing about 30k and 20k.

Yikes, just crickets.....

The biggest mouths but won't accept the bet, free money for you guys, right!!!

You are turning down free money??

Or you are full of **** and TA works?

Let the sheep be sheep. That's all they are and the real men are the ones who are going to get richer.

I'm not being an ass either. If they can't understand what trillions of stimulus is going to do to BTC then they are a sheep. If they look at a damn chart and think "Woah, it went way up, it's gotta go down" then they are a sheep. This place has a lot of them.

Literally no where to go but up. I got it all riding and I'm not scared.

I only hodl, not going to try and time dips other than accumulating more over time. All I said is that I wouldn't be surprised to see a massive drop in the coming months. That doesn't mean I'm predicting one or know anything about what the price will be in the near future. I've been buying and holding since 2015 and it's worked out pretty well so far.

Well done on the HODL. I'm sure nobody would be surprised to see a massive dip considering this run up. That doesn't really make you any money. And I'm not sure why people come on here saying "wouldn't be surprised to see a dip!" The key is KNOWING there will be no massive dip to 25k and we are going to rip to the upside.

That my friend is the key and why some of us will spend the rest of our lives traveling the world and others will be on here saying "I think we might see a dip" while humping their crappy day job.

except you're the sheep lol, what makes you real man? Because you Hodl? Believe in a digital my little Pony? Trillions of stimulus and you still going to go to zero. You calling us sheep but there is a lot more of people just like you than bears in the thread. I can tell tho guy like you is probably fake as ****, when we down to near Zero Im sure you will be talking about how you exited at X price and didn't get that duped.

Are you and Jackal same account or same ****? Get that same vibe from both. Wish I knew what was wrong with you guys, drug abuse,brain damage? Something is off with both of you, I wish I knew.

Litecoin is "faster", but there are trade-offs involved with making block times shorter. BTC could make itself "faster" if it wanted. But shorter block times mean there's a higher chance of orphaned blocks and it means that the blockchain size would grow much faster, making it harder for smaller miners to keep up.

BTC devs have made the decision to prioritize security and decentralization over "speed", encouraging the offloading of some activity to 2nd/3rd layer solutions.

But to answer your question, other than first-mover advantage/network effects (which are massive), I would consider Bitcoin's origin to be a real advantage.

Because there was no pre-mine and no creator that got rich, Bitcoin is as fair + decentralized as you can possibly get in cryptocurrency. Its growth has been completely organic. It's just impossible for another coin to recreate what BTC did.

Fair? Almost all the bitcons are owned by a few people.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you actually knew where the short term price of Bitcoin is, you would be wildly rich

I look forward to seeing Jackal and all the other Technical Analysis wizards joining the Forbes rich list during the bull run.

Pipe down, you're already on ignore, and there's ~0 chance you or anyone who engages in conversation with you plays the same stakes...
