Not gonna happen. Btc is fundamentally flawed and will soon die. Stop smoking the hopium.

Bitcoin is fundamentally flawed and has literally ZERO chance to succeed in the long term. Zero, it just can´t work. Who knows if the price will rise in the short/medium term, but it will fail in the end. Other cryptos will probably have success long term, but bitcoin will drag them all down, therefore bitcoin will be killed soon when they can´t milk it anymore.
Bitcoin lacks a very good codebase, is becoming more centralized, lacks innovation, lacks on chain governance, liquidity will drop over time, other coins will catch up, undercutting and selfish mining strategies will undermine the security, miners revenue will drop, and it wastes resources. It´s also extremely manipulated beyond anything you can imagine. It´s not a good currency nor a good store of value. It´s only good for making money, like I do on the reg.

4 million btc will soon be lost forever, probably by the end of the year, which is very bearish.
Bitcoins get lost forever every day. Simple math proves that in the end there will only be a few thousand btc left in circulation. A lot of bitcoin will also be locked up in funds like grayscale, which means the owner don´t hold the keys themself, which kinda defeats the purpose of crypto. These factors suggest that bitcoin volume, liquidity and demand for on chain transactions will eventually fall to very low levels. Low volume and liquidity is a death sentence for a speculative asset that people hoard and not use. Combine this with low revenue for miners, because of few on chain transactions and no block rewards, the hash rate will drop, and so will the cost of executing a 51% attack. Bitcoin has literally 0 chance of working long term. 0

“Here’s how things could go wrong. Due to the possibility of profitable forking, the default strategy is no longer best; we lay out a menagerie of interesting and bizarre strategies in the paper. The most worrisome is “undercutting,” where miners capture aslittleof the available transaction fees as they can get away with, leaving the rest in the pool as an incentive for the next miner to extend their block rather than a competing block.
We also show rigorously thatselfish mininggets worse when block rewards are replaced by transaction fees, motivated by the following intuition: if you happen to mine a new block just seconds after the last one was found, you gain nothing by publishing, so you might as well keep it for selfish mining in case you get lucky. The variance in transaction fees enables strategies like this that simply don’t make sense when the block reward is fixed.”

“As security researcher Dan Kaminsky explains, Bitcoin looks like a security nightmare on paper. A C++ code base with a custom binary protocol powers nodes connected to the Internet while holding e-cash, sounds like a recipe for disaster. C++ programs are often riddled with memory corruption bugs. When they are connecting to the Internet, this creates vulnerabilities exploitable by remote attackers. E-cash gives an immediate payoff to any attacker clever enough to discover and exploit such a vulnerability. Fortunately, Bitcoin’s implementation has proven very resilient to attacks thus far, with some exceptions. In August 2010, a bug where the sum of two outputs overflowed to a negative number allowed attackers to create two outputs of 92233720368.54 coins from an input of 0.50 coins. More recently, massive vulnerabilities such as the heartbleed bug have been discovered in the OpenSSL libraries. These vulnerabilities have one thing in common, they happened because languages like C and C++ do not perform any checks on the operations they perform. For the sake of efficiency, they may access random parts of the memory, add integers larger than natively supported, etc. While these vulnerabilities have spared Bitcoin, they do no not bode well for the security of the system.”

There is an even deeper problem with proof-of-work, one that is much harder to mitigate than the concentration of mining power: a misalignment of incentives between miners and stakeholders. Indeed, in the long run, the total mining revenues will be the sum of the all transaction fees paid to the miners. Since miners compete to produce hashes, (5) It is possible that a new technology will supplant ASICs who themselves replaced FPGA boards. However, the pace of this type of innovation is nowhere fast enough to prevent miners from forming dominating positions for long period of times; and such innovation would benefit but a new (or the same) small clique of people who initially possess the new technology or eventually amass the capital to repeat the same pattern. (6) the amount of money spent on mining will be slightly smaller than the revenues. In turn, the amount spent on transactions depends on the supply and demand for transactions. The supply of transactions on the blockchain is determined by the block size and is fixed.

“Unfortunately, there is reason to expect that the demand for transactions will fall to very low levels. People are likely to make use of off-chain transaction mechanisms via trusted third parties, particularly for small amounts, in order to alleviate the need to wait for confirmations. Payment processors may only need to clear with each other infrequently. This scenario is not only economically likely, it seems necessary given the relatively low transaction rate supported by Bitcoin. Since blockchain transaction will have to compete with off-chain transaction, the amount spent on transactions will approach its cost, which, given modern infrastructure, should be close to zero. Attempting to impose minimum transaction fees may only exacerbate the problem and cause users to rely on off-chain transaction more. As the amount paid in transaction fees collapses, so will the miner’s revenues, and so will the cost of executing a 51% attack. To put it in a nutshell, the security of a proofof-work blockchain suffers from a commons problem[9]. Core developer Mike Hearn has suggested the use of special transactions to subsidize mining using a pledge type of fund raising[10]. A robust currency should not need to rely on charity to operate securely”

“Impact on Bitcoin security. If any of the deviant mining strategies we explore were to be deployed, the impact on Bitcoin’s security would be serious. At best, the block chain will have a significant fraction of stale or orphaned blocks due to constant forks, making 51% attacks much easier and increasing the transaction confirmation time. At worst, consensus will break down due to block withholding or increasingly aggressive undercutting. This suggests a fundamental rethinking of the role of block rewards in cryptocurrency design. Nakamoto appears to have viewed the block reward as a necessary but temporary evil to achieve an initial allocation of bitcoins in the absence of a central authority, with the transaction fee regime being the ideal, inflation-free steady state of the system. But our work shows that incentivizing compliant miner behavior in the transaction fee regime is a significantly more daunting task than in the block reward regime.”

as these block rewards are phased out. Simple calculations suggest that once block rewards are zero, it
could take months before a Bitcoin payment is final, unless new technologies are deployed to speed up
payment finality. Second-layer solutions such as the Lightning Network might help, but the only
fundamental remedy would be to depart from proof-of-work, which would probably require some form

Analysis. We proceed now with an analysis of the rewards obtained in the transaction fee model by a selfish miner. Parts will look similar to the analysis done in [9]. For every infinitesimally small transaction fee that arrives, we wish to compute the probability that it winds up in a block mined by the selfish miner. Note that if the selfish miner just used default mining instead, this probability would be exactly α. The determining factor in this probability will be the size of the selfish miner’s private chain. To this end, let’s define the following states (same states used in [9]), and we’ll compute this probability separately for each state. • State 0: Everyone agrees on the longest chain — Racingm H = false. • State i > 0: The selfish miner m has a private chain of length i — Privatem = H + i. • State 00 : There are competing blocks of height H, one of which was produced by the selfish miner, and the selfish miner has no private blocks — Racingm H = true and Privatem = H. Let fs denote the probability that a transaction winds up in a block mined by the selfish miner in the eventual longest chain, conditioned on the system being in state s when the transaction is announced. We compute there probabilities below. If we then define ps to be the probability that the system is in state s, we can then observe that the expected fraction of transaction fees claimed by the selfish miner is exactly:

P s fs · ps. Eyal and Sirer [9] have already computed ps for all s. The values for ps are:

>> No.20552523

P s fs · ps. Eyal and Sirer [9] have already computed ps for all s. The values for ps are:

p0 = 1 − 2α 2α3 − 4α2 + 1 p00 = (1 − α)(α − 2α 2 ) 2α3 − 4α2 + 1 pi = ( α 1 − α ) i−1 α − 2α 2 2α3 − 4α2 + 1 , i > 0 To complete the analysis, we just need to compute fs for each s. Appendix E contains the derivation of fs for all s, which are stated below: f0 = α 2 + α(1 − α) (α + γ(1 − α)). f00 = α. f1 = α + (1 − α)α = α(2 − α). fi = 1 − ((1 − α) i−1 (1 − f0)). Finally, when α ∈ (0, .5) and γ ∈ [0, 1], we show in the Appendix E that the selfish miner’s rewards are given by Reward(α, γ) = 5α 2 − 12α 3 + 9α 4 − 2α 5 + γ(α − 4α 2 + 6α 3 − 5α 4 + 2α 5 ) 2α3 − 4α2 + 1

“SELFISH MINING WITH TRANSACTION FEES: Selfish mining is a deviant strategy first identified by Eyal and Sirer [9]. Essentially, a selfish miner chooses not to release blocks immediately upon being found, instead withholding them in hopes of tricking the rest of the network into wasting their mining power mining blocks that will be orphaned. We find that the selfish mining strategy performs even better in the transaction fees model than the block-reward model. A priori, there’s no reason to expect this. In this section we provide simulation results, along with some intuition and a theoretical analysis proving this. Essentially what winds up happening is that while the selfish miner mines the same fraction of blocks in either reward model, the selfish miner’s blocks will tend to be larger. In the block-reward model, this doesn’t matter because all blocks are worth the same, but in the transaction fees model this means the selfish miner gets greater reward.”

>> No.20552575

“We have argued that deviant mining strategies in a transactionfee regime could hurt the stability of Bitcoin mining and harm the ecosystem. In a block chain with constant forks caused by undercutting, an attacker’s effective hash power is magnified because he will always mine to extend his own blocks whereas other miners are not unified. This would make a “51%” attack possible with much less than 51% of the hash power. Many other unanticipated side-effects may arise. In the block size debate, it is frequently argued or assumed that space in the block chain will be a scarce resource and a market will emerge, with users being able to speed up the confirmation of a transaction by paying a sufficiently large transaction fee. But if miners intentionally “leave money on the table” when solving blocks, as is the case in undercutting attacks, it breaks this assumption. That is because undercutting miners are not looking to maximize the transaction fee that they can claim, and don’t have a strong reason to prioritize a transaction with a high fee.(9) Put another way, the block size imposes a constraint on the total size of transactions in a block and the threat of being undercut imposes another constraint on the total fee. The two interact in complex ways. We believe that qualitatively our results will continue to hold in a world where the available block size is much smaller than the demand, but quantitatively the impact of undercutting will be mitigated (see end of Section 3.1). Still, it is an important direction for future research to understand this connection more rigorously.

>> No.20552606

Despite the variety of our results, we believe we have only scratched the surface of what can go wrong in a transactionfee regime. To wit: we have not presented an analysis of miners whose strategy space includes both undercutting and selfish mining, primarily due to the complexity of the resulting models. There has been scant attention paid to the transition to a transaction-fee regime. The Nakamoto paper addresses it briefly: “The incentive can also be funded with transaction fees... Once a predetermined number of coins have entered circulation, the incentive can transition entirely to transaction fees and be completely inflation free” [19]. Similar comments on the Bitcoin Wiki and other places suggest that the community views the transition as unremarkable. Some altcoins (Monero, Dogecoin) have even opted to hasten the block reward halving time. Our results suggest a different view. We see the block reward as integral to the stability of the mining game. At a minimum, analyzing equilibria in the transaction-fee regime appears dramatically harder than in the block-reward regime, which is a cause for concern by itself. The monetary inflation resulting from making the block reward permanent, as Ethereum does, may be a small price to pay to ensure the stability of a cryptocurrency.

Segwit also allows easy script upgrades so a more general purpose smart contract script is just a soft fork away and would be extremely safe since it would be isolated to a segwit output. There is tons of research out there on general purpose scripts for btc that enable smart contracts but that are mathematically provable instead of this turing complete crap that just create bugs.
Btc gets the most attention and therefore will continue to improve. Your bet is that a new project that nobody except a handle of devs understand is going to overthrow something that has every serious cryptographer studying it. Not likely to happen

You are talking about 10++ years down the line, if ever. Being "right" is a lot about timing. If it takes a decade to be right, you are wrong.

>he still believes in LN hopium in 2017+3
LN is the biggest cope out there, 0 liquidity years after its launch, doesn't work half the time and has a god awful ux.
How will you fags cope when fees will be $30 again to have a tx processed in half a day?

Dude, on chain is what matters. Lightning transactions are not bitcoin blockchain transactions. As posted in one of my posts above, off chain transaction are super bad for the main chain. This is a no brainer, as no one will be left using the main chain in the end

0 liquidity because nobody actually wants crypto for payments. This is the biggest misconception that all the bcashers believe. Wait until you can go leverage long/short on lightning and watch liquidity explode. Also lightning works great these days and has a great UX, your post is just proof you haven't tried it within the last 1.5 years

On chain doesn't scale to the world dumbass, and lightning is an on chain 2 of 2 multisig. It's literally a contract on the blockchain redeemable to a single address unilaterally without consent of the other party. Putting every single transaction on a database that has to reach global consensus is how you destroy the only thing that makes Bitcoin valuable in the first place because you centralize the fuck out of it, and Zuckerberg can still just come along and beat your TPS anyway with a central mysql database running on AWS. All you've did is force Bitcoin to compete at something that blockchains are inherently bad at and sacrificed the things they are good at.

People will still use the main chain for opening and closing channels, loop in loop out, atomic swaps, coinjoins, multisig cold storage, etc. Lightning just moves coffee payments to another layer where you don't need fees. All this other shit will pay fees to miners. Its really not complicated at all

don't encourage shills. neets keep spamming RLC as bitcoin replacement. but it's garbage. bitcoin has already entered public consciousness as digital gold, store of value, etc. anything that comes after will be looked at as a copycat and ingenuine.

the only reason we accept gold as a store of value is because it came first, and it's always been that way. same with bitcoin.

What the hell? I hate bitcoin now.
I'm going to give my bitcoins away immediately, they are so dirty and crap, if I sell them even the money I get for them will be disgusting and unusable!
