If you're investing $10k+ then what's the point of buying altcoins over Bitcoin? yeah you can earn x10+ on alts but it's risky as fuck, you have like 10% or less chance to get the right alt where in Bitcoin you have 100% chance to earn x10 in the next bull, seems like a no brainer for me to choose Bitcoin.

Cash is means of final settlement. Every single onchain BTC transaction is a final settlement. Peer-to-peer means no hierarchy between fullnodes.

>"huuuuurrrr blockspace is limited, we must include every coffee tx in the blockchain!!!"

Listen you absolute fucking mongoloid. What happens when you dont limit blockspace? Apart from fullnode centralization into massive datacenters, NO FUCKING FEES.

What secures immutability of the ledger? Hashpower. What incentivizes miners when the coinbase subsidy diminishes? FUCKING FEES YOU IDIOT. Otherwise you have to fork in perpetual inflation.

You know what happens next? A state level actor can buy a shitload of hashrate, mine empty blocks and effectively censor the network, because there are no fees to incentivize honest miners to include txs in the blocks to compete with the censor.

BTC is not cash for the world. It is digital gold for final settlements, a fucking cop out.
Regarding your non-backedup hypotheticals that haven't happened, there is one thing that has happened. In dec 2017 the BTC chain became so congested that many people waited DAYS for transactions to complete while paying $20-$1k in fees depending on UTXO arrangement.
This means a state level actor could, and maybe has, spam the network and cause a virtual outage.

Cashies need to learn to think for themselves. Either you guys are worshipping Roger, Craig, or Satoshi but no matter what you always look up to someone else.
Here's the thing dude, Satoshi was wrong. It is irrational to spend a strictly scarce asset with insane growth potential. It is not cash right now. Fiat is cash because it goes down in value. Money must progress through the store of value phase first in order to gain stability before it can be a medium of exchange. Bitcoin pizza guy taught us that lesson years ago but you morons can't get past the title of the whitepaper and realize the collective lesson of the past decade.

These are not phases. Money is a medium of exchange first and value emerges from that.

You have to have price stability before you get widespread adoption for exchange. What merchant wants to accept Bitcoin that can go down 60% at the drop of a hat? Cashies act like the fees are what kill adoption but its not at all, its volatility that kills it. You cannot skip ahead in this game, you need huge order book depth and massive liquidity resulting in stabilizing price before you see serious merchant adoption. The value of money is derived from the size of its network, nothing else. You are way way behind and won't catch up.

Will a cashie please explain how blocksize increase creates scaling?
1kb transaction in 1mb block, 1000 transactions. In 2mb block, 2000 transactions. You use more resources for linear scale increase putting your nodes at risk and gaining very little.
Contrast to lightning network, 2mb block can anchor millions of transactions. Layer 2 is obviously the way to go here for real exponential scaling. Blocksize increase is brainlet linear scaling. Couple sighash anyprevout for channel factories and we can onboard massive amounts of people at once onto layer 2 and still have a decentralized base layer. You will never have a strong base layer if you are a minority fork, the only chance Bitcoin cash has is to change algorithms and embrace lightning but of course you are not rationally driven but emotional and would never do that

Stable coins backed by gold or something tangible makes far more sense. Bitcoin and crypto is just a get rich quick pyramid scheme and playground for rich investors to play with dumb money. Who is using Bitcoin for all their purchases from gas for for their car to paying their rent? It will never be the world reserve currency. No form of Bitcoin will be that.

I honestly believe all of this is an experiment to test the waters on decentralized digital money so AI can take the responsibility off the backs of financial institutions. The same evolution from the very first telephones with telemarketers and early computers to where they are now.

Actually it's more like an exponential increase in resource cost for a linear increase in transactions due to transaction propagation and verification. This is why blocksize increase is fought to the death. Blockchains get more inefficient as they take on more records.

no you got it all wrong. it does not strip trustless property it strips the permissionless property on the second layer as a hub can deny you service. but if there are many many hubs this is not likely to be an actual issue. any individual miner can also throw away your tx but an other will pick it up same shit.

>there is no signature kept in a segwit transaction because a hash of the signature is kept and a hash of a signature is not a signature
that's bullshit but also irrelevant. the only thing a sufficiently confirmed block needs to have is a way for nodes to sync up their utxo. to do that all it needs to have is the inputs and outputs ie the ledger.
segwit tx-es also include a signature obviously and the signatures are also included in the block witness extension which all segwit nodes have right now. this could in the future be safely pruned of course. it's absolutely unnecessary because the nakamoto consensus has to fail first before they would be ever needed and that would end bitcoin.

the signature is the proof that you hold the private key associated with the utxo and signing the transaction is the proof you intend to move it.
Having a bitcoin from a segwit transaction is like having a cheque without a signature

Imagine removing that proof in hindsight and making it possible for miners to move utxo by including a hash of any signature instead of just increasing/removing the blocksize limit.

why do you need a proof that the guy that sent you coins and are in a public ledger clearly under your address confirmed under consensus ruleset signed the tx properly?

if a miner decides to make an anyone can spend address and then proceeds to move the coins to your address albeit it doesn't have a signature but everybody on this world would accept it's yours except you?

coinbase tx doesn't have a signature either. you think coingbase is fraudelent and not bitcoin?

yeah that's bullshit. under the consensus ruleset with a proper segwit address this is not possible.

>A segwit node will accept a transaction with a hash of any signature because you can't differentiate a hash of a signature from another hash of a signature
no the segwit node also revives the witness which includes the full sigscript. and also validates it. so do miners and also miners that mine the subsequent blocks would reject a block with missing signatures not to risk their block being rejected.

Hypothetically, if BTC reaches $1 million, it's marketcap would be around $16.5 trillion, comparable to US GDP.

It's easy to see why such valuation would is impossible. Most of the trading occurs at countries with high GDP per capita because people in these countries have more money spend. If you divide up $16.5 trillion market cap based on the percentages in the chart, you will see that the marketcap in each country would be a significant part of its GDP, which is ridiculous.

but your selection will be pretty limited to those ACINQ is connected to.
If the limit is ever removed, its going to be pretty obvious that it's not going to work. ACINQ can't spread their BTC around 700 channels equally, they can only give service to the biggest retailers.

>Do you think satoshi used signatures for no reason?
not sure what you are getting at here. it's perfectly obvious why most people want to use wallets that require signatures to spend. we like control over our assets. it has nothing to do with the legal status of signature in any particular country.
>if you receive a segwit transaction there is no proof of ownership.
of course there is. the output of the tx contains your address and this is recorded in a fucking public ledger for fucks sake. do you sign your bank transactions with digital signatures? how does the guy that receives them proves ownership if he doesn't have your signature? fucking moronic thing to try nitpick.

>the witness is a hash of a signature a hash of a signature is not a signature
no the witness is a sigscript. with signature in it. the witness is referenced by a hash inside the tx to make the tx leaner. all financially relevant data is in the tx. all inputs and outputs. nothing else needed to build the utxo in a trustless manner. nothing else is needed to prove any ownership.

one last point. you say the signature proves you received the coins lawfully but then again if someone steals an other dudes private key and signs the coins over to you then your signature only proves possession not ownership by your own argument. so it's pointless the utxo already does that job.

in the end nothing matters but the utxo. smart people realize this.

it's neither to be honest. it's just a record that shows you can spend the coins ie you have control over them. silly things like possession and ownership are not applicable here. no bitcoin ever is in your possession they are public records. ownership in your jurisdiction comes with a legal receipt that you get from who you bought it. without that paper you can't prove ownership. nobody can check a digital signature was issued by the previous owner anyhow.

educate yourself and stop spreading bullshit fud!
the witness is a sigscript. it contains as many signatures as needed and validates them upon execution.

// Create witness.
data_stack witness_stack;
data_chunk empty_chunk;
witness_stack.push_back(empty_chunk);
witness_stack.push_back(sig0);
witness_stack.push_back(sig1);
witness_stack.push_back(witness_script.to_data(false));
witness p2wsh_witness(witness_stack);
tx.inputs()[0].set_witness(p2wsh_witness);

no the proof of ownership is a legal receipt you get from the seller.

again this retarded nonsense... no the hash is of the sigscript that must execute to true the witness script describes what signatures have to be validated it's immutable because it's referenced by hash. it contains all the digital signatures.

but that's not true you fucking moron. at least try to come up with something that is not so trivial to disprove! also private key(s) and who said it's the owners? you have some weird ideas... if Bob uses Alices key to sign a tx it's still a valid tx. if Bob countersigns Alices tx in a multisig scheme that doesn't mean they have joint ownership at all.

Pieter Wuille himself said the signatures are only needed when the transaction is getting put into a block. That was the entire justification for segwit.

But Peter wuille isn't a lawyer and he's wrong the chain of digital signatures is fundamental in owning a bitcoin

no its not. and he was right not only witnesses are safe to discard but old blocks can be pruned altogether from the network as transactions already confirmed have no value whatsoever aside from building the utxo set from scratch but that can easily be solved by hashing the previous utxo set into every block.

in the future not only signatures will be discarded but transactions altogether. right now however its all there verifiable to anyone to the last bit.

so you are plain fucking wrong.

Segwit is a complicated distraction with harsh complication for extremely small gains.
Lightning transactions follows a new usage paradigm and faces an unsolved np hard problem to route.
Nothing is interoperable and nothing actually scales to world usage.
What other thing will BTC introduce in order to confuse and delay? How long until the
'experts' try and convince everyone that bitcoin, in it's original design, was a failed experiment?
We are being lied to to.
Bitcoin scales as originally designed.
Bitcoin is cash.

Putting 10k in btc is stupid. In 10 years you might have 10 million. Put half in btc, 10% eth, 10% xrp, 10% link, 20% low cap alts like $BRAP. It's easier to get rich if you pick the right low cap alts.

This right here is all you need to know .


Ok listen dumbfucksmost of you were not here pre2017.

In a bull run you need to buy WHATS pumping, identify the trend and buy where you know that if it breaks that level, the trend reverses.


This is really important from TA pov and how MM pump bots(layering systems) work.

I made 35k in 2017 on bittrex OUT of 150$ doing this on the 15min timeframe.

You need a way to filter out shitcoins to trade a given day(tradingview cryptoscreener will do) and filter by %gain on monthly, weekly, daily and hourly, you want coins that are green on all the filters(strong bulltrend=higher bounce chance from your buy).

And thats pretty much it... Hope someone make some bucks in the next 3 years... Because you guys are too shortsighted to realice whats coming.

its funny but i agree bitcoin will scale as originally intended but no the shitforks ate not bitcoin. once you break the nakamoto consensus and behind 3000 yottahash in pow there is no going back you will never be the longest chain with the most pow as defined in the whitepaper.

lightning solves the irl shopping and micropayment problem and acts as a bulk settlement layer for bitcoin.

Nakamoto consensus was envisioned at a time when CPU power was more evenly distributed.
Now the majority of the hashpower is controlled by chinese miners who have met with communist party officials.
Unfortunately arguing for hash power defining bitcoin means arguing for communist elite defining bitcoin.
Thankfully we have the whitepaper to guide us to the use case of bitcoin, p2p cash.
Anything that is not p2p cash is not bitcoin, BTC is not bitcoin.
