Will bitcoin Ethereum soar
although the price of Ethereum continues to decline, there are still many investment opportunities. Nowadays, many people invest in Ethereum through virtual currency trading in the realm Kingdom, which is not affected by the rise and fall of prices, but also can invest less money in the shortest time to obtain more income.
however, bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency with rising value. The value of another cryptocurrency called Ethereum has been increasing since January 2017. From $8.24 to $203. Up 2367%
investors are worried that in the past few years, cryptocurrencies have gained the favor of many investors who are looking for other investment methods than traditional ones. Although most investors still invest their money in traditional financial markets, such as the stock market and foreign exchange market, many of these investors have begun to worry about the economic climate of the world economy
recent events have made us aware of the instability of traditional financial markets such as the stock market and foreign exchange market. Many investors have been looking for other ways to invest their money
with the creation and popularization of cryptocurrency and its rapidly rising value, many investors, especially those from Asia, have joined the trend of bitcoin and cryptocurrency
advantages of Ethereum
although many people are more familiar with it, Ethereum has also gained a fair share of the market with its own value. However, there are key differences between the blockchains used by Ethereum and bitcoin
the difference between the two systems is that Ethereum's data processing speed is faster than that of bitcoin, because once agreed, Ethereum's system will automatically apply to the terms and conditions in the contract
although many people may think that Ethereum may be inferior to bitcoin because its value is lower than bitcoin, this is a good thing for investors who are looking for investment channels other than bitcoin. A lower price may attract more investors because it has more room for growth. The only drawback is that Ethereum is not as established as bitcoin. In view of this, bitcoin is more secure than Ethereum<
not as volatile as before
since bitcoin was founded in 2009, cryptocurrencies have made great achievements, and they have continued to grow. In fact, the value of legal cryptocurrency has risen a lot since then
although cryptocurrencies have performed very well this year, analysts expect that when the economic situation is good, investors will leave cryptocurrencies and return to traditional investment media. When this happens, the volatility of cryptocurrency will decrease because of the decrease of demand
of course, we will still see the growth of cryptocurrency in the next few years, which will help the instry remain strong. When that happens, it's a good idea for investors to hold cryptocurrencies for future growth.

Yes, it's coming. The community is beginning to separate, and bitcoin is about to bifurcate: including software, and perhaps blockchain. The two sides of the split are bitcoin core and the micro variant program based on the same program, called bitcoin XT. On August 16, Beijing time, there is now a full version of bitcoin XT
this bifurcation has never happened before. I want to explain this from the perspective of bitcoin XT developers: it can't be said that it hasn't been communicated enough
bitcoin bifurcation, this topic may make many people curious, so this article is written for ordinary readers. It doesn't involve the knowledge that has been debated before
the original version of bitcoin was carefully arranged by Nakamoto, and has always been very clear. The debate is about growth. In 2008, he answered the first question about the design of bitcoin, saying:
visa processed 37 billion transactions in fiscal year 2008, or an average of 100 million transactions per day. So many deals require 100GB of bandwidth = 12 DVDs or 2 HD quality movies = about $18 of bandwidth at the current price
assuming that the bitcoin network reaches this scale, it will take several years. By then, sending two HD movies over the Internet may not be a big deal
at that time, he was more tired of bitcoin expansion than any of us. His plan is to make bitcoin popular from the beginning, and he knows that this success will change how people use his system. In 2010, he said, "it's good that we keep [blockchain] files as small as possible
the final solution will not care how big it (blockchain file) becomes
but now, while it is still small, keep it in a small state, and the growth of new users will be faster. When I finally implement client only mode, it's no longer a problem
"
in 2011, through a series of calculations, I expanded the expansion intuition of Nakamoto in detail: if bitcoin becomes so popular, will it completely replace visa? The answer is that his plan is credible - you don't need anything else but a computer, even if there's so much traffic. Before he left, I also implemented the model he talked about
it was Nakamoto's plan that brought us together. It has changed the lives of thousands of people around the world. Some of us give up our jobs, others devote their spare time to the project, others set up companies and even travel around the world. This is an idea that ordinary people can complete mutual payment through blockchain and create this global community
that's the vision I signed, and that's the vision Gavin Andresen signed, and that's the vision signed by millions of developers, founders of startups, evangelists, and users around the world
and this vision is now in danger. In recent months, it's clear that a small group of people have completely different plans for bitcoin. These people have never really understood Nakamoto's intention because they are worried about success, if the technology has never been improved, if people can't run bitcoin on their home computers? Doesn't this make bitcoin move away from centralization and more like banking? What if people start to rely on bitcoin, even if it's imperfect
now, Nakamoto has chosen to disappear, and they want to make a major change: substantially increase transaction costs, end support for mobile P2P wallets, give up unconfirmed transactions, and many things that have never been found in the project's founding documents
the so-called lightning network, which is about to be promoted as a substitute for Nakamoto's design, does not exist. The white paper describes that it was announced earlier this year, and if it can be realized, it will be a huge departure from the bitcoin we know and love. Pick one of the many differences, and a bitcoin address won't work. What they will be replaced with has not yet been worked out (because no one knows). There are many other surprising pitfalls that I mentioned in another article. What will it eventually proce to make our existing bitcoin network better? It is still extremely unclear
what happened to the free market
in theory, none of this should be a problem. Lightning network is built on the blockchain, but it needs a rather trivial upgrade process to achieve the best function. Of course, people are willing to explore this direction, which is entirely possible. If the jobs they set up are better than the existing ordinary bitcoin network, then the market will choose their way, if so... It is fair competition for them! The current design of bitcoin is unlikely to be the final version for payment. This is a reasonable imagination, one day it will be eliminated in the competition, or enhanced by something else
but our system is working today. It has an ecosystem, including developers, exchanges, wallets, ATMs, books, applications, conferences, and many people have learned how it works
if there was a free choice, would people decide to move to a completely different system
we don't know, but the people who are pushing these things don't want the market to make a decision. That's what happened
a long time ago, Nakamoto set up a temporary "mixed brand assembly computer": he limited the size of each block to 1 MB. He did so in order to keep the blockchain in a small state in the early days, until we now call it the creation of SPV wallet (that is, what Nakamoto calls "client only mode"). As mentioned above, when the time comes, it can be adjusted. It has never been said that it is permanent. In the end, it becomes irrelevant. In 2011, I wrote the first SPV tool with my respected colleague Andreas schildbach, and we built the first and most popular Android wallet together. Since then, SPV wallets have been used on major platforms. Therefore, Nakamoto's reasons for this temporary restriction have been solved a long time ago
with the continuous growth of bitcoin, its blocks are also growing. Reasonable traffic forecasts show that the block will reach the current system limit sometime next year, at the latest in 2017. Another bubble or pressure cycle will force us to exceed that limit before, and the result may not be beautiful.
so it's time to raise the upper limit, or delete it completely. That's our plan, and the problem starts: those who don't want to see bitcoin expand have decided to postpone the process. They saw a beautiful, one-time opportunity to forcibly transfer bitcoin's predetermined path to a completely different technological trajectory. They don't know what this alternative design will be, and of course they haven't built it yet. But it doesn't matter. They believe that by blocking the growth of the blockchain, they can "motivate" (that is, force) the bitcoin community to switch to different things, something more in line with their personal technical taste
why restrict blockchain
so far, I haven't explained much about these people or who they are. I think it's a very time-consuming and laborious thing to name names in this article, and it seems to be futile in the end. Presumably those who care about this matter already know it, and those who don't know it can't recognize the people who are involved in it
I just want to say that they are very few people who have access to the bitcoin core code base, or those who are convinced by their arguments
therefore, we will not discuss these arguments here, which has been too much. Gavin and I have written articles to analyze the questions raised by everyone to refute them. Sometimes the answer is some common sense, some will be more in-depth, need more work, such as network simulation
the best place to understand these controversies is in Gavin's blog. I hope to find a link to a collection of opinions similar to those refuting Gavin's point of view, but none of them
to sum up, in the long and hard debate, several different opposition groups:
if bitcoin approaches this limit, we will be stimulated to create something better
the limit should be raised, but it is not ready (the actual time is not specified)
if bitcoin is expanded and becomes more centralized, it will no longer be bitcoin< Other people: if the objections you support are not listed above, please check Gavin's blog and find out the answer
the first point may become a reality one day, but it is not comparable with the theoretical system on paper. But no one who has seen any alternative solutions on the table thinks they can be implemented within 12 months (see another example in the last paragraph, for example)... Even assuming they are better. This is also an example of the nirvana fallacy:
the nirvana fallacy refers to the name of the informal fallacy of some unrealistic and idealized substitutes for something more practical. It can also refer to the tendency to think that there is a perfect solution to a specific problem, so it is also called perfectionism fallacy
it's obviously advantageous to create an imitative dichotomy for a current choice. But it's also totally incredible. One who uses the nirvana fallacy can attack any opposing idea because it is imperfect. According to this fallacy, the choice is not between real-world solutions. One is a realistic solution, and the other is an impractical solution, which is the "better" choice between the two
the answer to the second objection is too vague. It is reasonable to believe that the overall upgrade of each bitcoin node may take one year, and the actual bitcoin network capacity overload will cause serious damage. We really should be ready before that. In the bitcoin development mailing list, there are two people who have professional capacity planning experience, and both of them have
Why do you want to go up? What's the logic
not to mention how many years after the excavation, no one should have g this thing for a long time
take your time
is bitcoin a currency? No, money needs to be liquid, so it needs to be actively over issued to eliminate inflation. Bitcoin can't, so it's not money. It's just because money can't rise so much. Have you ever heard that money can ride a roller coaster? There is no such thing
at best, it can only be collectibles, such as gold, silver, jewelry, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. You can accept them if you like, and sell them for money if you don't want them
so why is this thing going up so crazy now? In fact, it's just hype
you need to analyze the mentality of the holder, except those who really have faith, the rest are not waiting for it to give you money. Do you want money or bitcoin? Of course, it's money, or I won't ask if it will go up
everyone is bidding up its value. It's a tacit thing to get money after shipping. When you don't ship, you only have a market value, not money. So in essence, you have to ship. After shipping, you can "pursue a better life"
will bitcoin keep rising? This actually doesn't exist, you don't sell bitcoin? You don't know? Don't you want a better life? You will meet your real needs more or less by discounting when you are still young and energetic. The money I earn is for use, and bitcoin does not create value. Then the money I want to use is yours. It's so simple. To put it bluntly, the longer the time, the greater the desire for discounting, even at a stable high level, This kind of pressure still exists. With this pressure, the rise will be limited, and the decline is the manifestation of pressure accumulation
here we need to introce something that we haven't mentioned before, which is the circulation disk. In fact, the proportion of bitcoin circulation disk is not high. Why such a large market value of things can rise and fall more quickly is actually the problem of circulation disk. That is to say, only a small part of the circulation disk is supported by money, and most of the non circulation is actually false value
you can now switch back to the topic
when the total amount of something that can be hyped is exhausted, that is to say, you have lost the way to obtain it at no cost or low cost. Then you have to hold it through trading, and it is not a necessity of your life, and you do not have to hold it. Maybe the price is already at a high level, and the rise and fall of the market will not be very crazy, If you want a big return, you have to buy a large amount of money. The cost you hold is very large. The cost means that the risk is high, and ordinary people can't afford to play. Please note that the original purpose of money is to fight small for big. How much investment enthusiasm is there at this time
because it has completely presented its own value, that is, the so-called generation currency, and obviously it has not achieved the expected goal, such as the idea of decentralization, which is impossible to realize. If it is realized, you will not care how much it is worth, whether it will rise or not, but only how much you hold, and its value logic will collapse
at this time, we can see whether it has collection value. It is no longer proced, but it is a pity that it is not a complete collection. It has neither scarcity nor the most basic aesthetic feeling. It has no artistry, craftsmanship and so on. Its quantity is very large. Do you think degradable garbage bags have collection value? Even if this kind of garbage bag is no longer proced, it is still not
to sum up, 1. There is no cheap way to get it; 2. The price is already very high, the profit space is small, and the cost is high; 3. The value logic has collapsed, and it is not a token; 4. Even as a collection, it doesn't mean much. What are these rules destroying? It is confidence
do you still want to hold such a thing? It's normal that there are things to hold, things to come out and things to go in. But as I said before, there is a time pressure there. Money has to be used. Holding needs to be discounted
at this time, we have to talk about the circulation market. If the circulation market is not big enough, it is a dead hole. Theoretically speaking, if the value logic can not be realized, we should sell as a normal investor. We consider that most of the circulation market are normal investors, so it is inevitable that the sales volume of circulation market is larger than the purchase volume, As long as the money coming out is greater than the money going in, it can be seen that the market value is falling, and it is obvious that the shrinkage of the market value is several times of the actual outflow, because those that are not in circulation are nominal prices, and those that do not exist will disappear as soon as they fall
and this decline is continuous, if it worsens into panic selling, it will be irreversible
that's my point of view. Of course, I don't think it's possible to wait until the last coin is g out. At present, there are obvious signs of a decline in investment confidence. If you are a rational investor, whether you will hold bitcoin for a long time, most of the answers are whether or not you will buy on the cheap, and most of the answers are wait-and-see, which shows the problem, At the end of the day, bitcoin is about confidence
Ethereum has even soared all the way, and the classic price of Ethereum is also returning, and the price of Puyin has little fluctuation.
