Discussion: In your OWN words, how do you define BTC?
https://bit.ly/3bjXN17 via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3bmUEh5
Approximately 1.34% of the world owns Bitcoin.
Global population is at approximately 7.9 billion: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/
This group estimates that 106 million people own some Bitcoin worldwide: https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/how-many-bitcoin-users/
This article estimates that a maximum of 1.2 million people owned Bitcoin in 2014: https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-how-many-people-actually-own-bitcoin-2014-3
More people in the US own stocks (145 million Americans) than the total number of Bitcoin owners globally: https://www.fool.com/research/how-many-americans-own-stock/
There’s currently 5 billion internet users globally. In 2014 there were 3 billion internet users globally: https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1146844/internet-users-in-the-world
Bank account ownership increased from 51% of the global population in 2011 to 76% of the global population in 2021: https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/globalfindex
Millennials and gen z are just as likely to own crypto as they are stocks: https://www.investopedia.com/younger-generations-bullish-on-cryptocurrencies-5223563
91% of existing crypto users plan to buy more in the next 6 months: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-users-plan-to-buy-more-in-next-6-months-115237324.html
Here’s some things I’m thinking about. Few people own Bitcoin worldwide. Those that do own BTC and crypto are likely to keep buying more. Younger generations are just as likely to buy crypto as they are stocks. As gen z starts earning money, they’ll likely increase their crypto positions as they age and their wages & salaries increase. Roughly 1/4 of the world is unbanked and lacks access to WiFi. There’s still billions and billions of people unconnected. I don’t think older people will buy BTC once they do get connected and banked, but their future offspring likely will, increasing the % of BTC owners.
TLDR: We’re early.

But seriously, who is paying for network security in the future when block rewards are 0 and all users are on L2?
I don't buy the settlement layer argument, that aggregated L2 transaction fees will somehow contribute to L1 fees paid to miners. All network users are incentivized to pay minimum fees possible. Bitcoin only works as a global money system if essentially all traffic can be handled on L2, which means fees on L1 will also be near 0. The 400,000 transactions bitcoin can support per day on L1 is far far too few to support global adoption without L2, but also much more than is needed if it is only used as a "settlement'" layer. This is the primary design flaw in the miner incentive, because there is essentially a cap in daily transactions the network can handle, either fees will be near 0 if transactions are below the cap, or they will begin to skyrocket as demand goes above the cap. If L2 solutions work, this means demand on L1 will be below the cap and fees will be near 0. If L2 doesn't work, well then Bitcoin can't have mass adoption. For bitcoin to be the gobal money standard, there will have to be multiple entities in the future willing to operate at a loss to secure the network, and a huge loss at that. They will need to be spending 10s of Billions a year to make sure the network isn't attacked. Who is that going to be? via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3PQ8GXu

When I look back I feel really dumb
I lived through the financial crisis of 2008, and as a mortgage broker, it was extremely difficult to keep my head above water. Mortgage activity was reduced to basically zero, and I cycled through several second jobs just to cover my own personal expenses.I heard about Bitcoin and like everyone in the beginning, I thought it was a novelty at best, more likely to end up as some sort of gaming currency than anything like it has become today. Plus, it took every dollar I earned just to keep no creditor more than 60 days in arrears. It was a REALLY tough time, for about 2 and a half years.I managed to keep the company solvent and was happy to enjoy the next decade or so of prosperity, and did very well, until the recent economic dumpster fire began earlier this year. Now I have time to think back....The painful part :I had a room full of Dell PowerEdge servers that either sat idle, or churned away completing SETI@home work units (for fun) while business was in the crapper. Had I understood what Bitcoin would become, or even considered the possibility, I could have mined more satoshi than Satoshi himself.Instead, I am still here sitting at my desk like the Maytag repairman, just staring at a phone that is not ringing... via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3baKgJ9

Until there is mass adoption of Bitcoin, yes, it will behave like a speculative asset. No- that doesn’t mean the thesis behind it is wrong, and I am still 100% bullish and holding.
My post will be long hope that’s okay but we need to clear the air on a few things for both the BTC haters and lovers so that we can all be on the same page.
Bitcoin, in a vacuum, does it’s job incredibly well. It is a transparent, decentralized form of exchange with a limited supply. It can be transferred anywhere anytime with no interference beyond two parties involved. There is almost no other infrastructure, digital or physical, that is even comparable to Bitcoin in this regard.
This has caused many to speculate BTC will eventually see widespread adoption as an alternative to fiat, and led to much investment into Bitcoin. This has recently caused bitcoins price to surge in comparison to the fiat it’s priced in. Currently, Bitcoin is behaving like a speculative asset, as it is one. This does not however make the thesis irrelevant or incorrect.
Fiat is still, over the long term, inflationary, and subject to unfair regulation, and cycles where we switch between the nation providing and backing the currency. There are many problems with fiat that aren’t being addressed that is being kept because those in charge benefit from the status quo. We are in a time of upheaval, in which it’s become obvious world wide income inequality nor inflation is going to be properly dealt with. There will eventually be an everyday person response that changes the dynamic in order to adjust to these circumstances.
In the digital age, I’m willing to take the bet that the service and value Bitcoin provides will eventually usurp that role. But the call is for yours to make based on the information provided.

The bitcoin network is secured by 900 bitcoins being printed a day
The 900 bitcoins a day are the block rewards given to miners to secure the network and process transactions. This block reward decreases by a factor of 2 every 4 years. Daily transaction fees have hovered around 10 bitcoins a day for most of bitcoins existence, only spiking during periods of heavy bull runs, where price increases made paying high transaction fees tenable. Over the long term I would expect transaction fees to average around this 10 BTC mark. Is 10 BTC a day enough to secure the network 30+ years from now when block rewards are 128th (27) what they are now and still declining?

Hi guys, as I have been doing for years, updating this week numbers. I usually post it in crypto, but lately have been posting it here, as it talks directly about bitcoin !A big drop from 45 BTC to 35 BTC, I don't see a reason considering price has been almost constant this week.Binance trades way more but they do make public the stats. This is only being measure using LocalBitcoin.Monthly minimum wage is 23 USD, average is around 100 USD.People use crypto to get rid of Bolivares and escape inflation, also to receive money from abroad, exchange their mining profit (mining here in theory is legal, but not safe anyway, electricity is free but unreliable).Any question, let me know!Some sources,https://bit.ly/3auOcnF via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3OqNx4E

Attacking Bitcoin’s supply limit
One of the key ingredients of Bitcoin’s success is the fixed supply. And I’m not here to suggest it’s possible to alter Bitcoin’s legitimate supply.
However, I am concerned with malicious attempts to sway Bitcoin buyers into alternatives to BTC. Alternatives such as derivatives like futures, options, and ETFs that may hold only a fractional reserve of BTC or none at all. Even holding BTC on an exchange or in some other form of custody than a personal wallet allows for fractional reserve where you may think someone is holding your BTC but they’re not. Theyre just holding a promise to give you BTC should you ask for it back. One could even make the argument that a lot of altcoins are designed to distract investors from buying BTC with promises of being similar to BTC but with faster gains.
So you might be thinking, so what? My point with all this is that these alternatives to BTC provide potential BTC-investors a synthetic, always increasing supply. Any synthetic BTC investment that persuades an investor from buying BTC, is providing a synthetic supply of BTC. And these types of investments have no limit.
The only solution to preventing this synthetic supply of BTC is persuading and educating potential BTC investors to self-custody or purchase a spot ETF when one becomes legal and available.
TLDR Any investment into a BTC alternative that does not actually make it to the BTC blockchain is a synthetic creation of BTC supply. The only defense against this synthetic, unlimited supply is to educate investors to self-custody.

Signs you should get off crypto lending platforms
Figured I share a couple of observations regarding current state of crypto lenders:
-
Bear market: CeFi wasn't built for crypto winter
-
Near competitor liquidation/insolvency: this is the contagion effect. We have seen this w/ Celsius, 3AC, Bancor, Vauld, Voyager.
-
Increase in customer complaints: this is all over Reddit w/ lending platform customers complaining that they cant access their accounts, takes days to get a response, changing terms and conditions
-
Bank run: this includes indications others are pulling their token off the lending platform, you don't want to be the one holding the bag
-
Questionable business practices: a lot has come out lately about corruption regarding Celsius leaders and I've been seeing the same about Nexo leaders, including a co-founder taking off with $61M.
This is something I feel worth sharing and I'm curious to hear your opinions as well. Please keep it civil and constructive, if possible.

'Crypto' turned me into a gambler, bitcoin turned me into a saver
Here's the long-form post I made about my personal struggle with gambling addiction and the role bitcoin played in helping me keep that addiction at bay.

I'm sure there are a lot of newcomers out there who have been disappointed with their returns so far with bitcoin, and you've probably heard this advice before, but just stay consistent and stay in the game. Don't try and 'win it back' elsewhere. You haven't 'missed the boat,' bitcoin is THE thing you want to be owning this next decade. Learn from my cautionary tale. DCA and HODL in cold storage. Sounds simple, very difficult to execute over a long period of time.

NYDIG, the financial services company specializing in bitcoin (BTC), announced on July 14 its partnership with the renowned New York Yankees professional baseball club. This agreement will allow its employees to access their savings plan in the market's leading cryptocurrency.Interestingly, just a couple of days later, according to the numbers of Exeno, a popular crypto ecommerce, its most used and resorted means of payment during these days was the same Bitcoin.In the press release they announced that Yankees employees will be able to convert part of their payment in bitcoin through the NYDIG platform.The alliance will allow these transactions to be free of charge. This situation comes in the midst of the bear market that the cryptocurrency is going through, which is trading around USD 20,000 these days. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3B4mDwp

“Whale #3” Is Tricking Everyone
I think there’s a large number of people that knows/follows “Whale #3”, which used to be the largest non-exchange Bitcoin wallet. People would try to watch their moves and try to get a better understanding of the market, me included.Recently, there has been significantly large outflows from this wallet, which demoted this wallet to now “Whale #8”. YouTube influencers and Redditors alike have all been assuming this whale has been selling into the recent market pump. (This would make sense, specially considering that some of these outflows are going to a Coinbase address).However, I have some interesting findings that shows “Whale #3”, intentionally or not, has been tricking all these people.They are not selling. Just splitting their wallet!If you look at “Whale #3” (now “Whale #8”), and compare it to, at the time of writing, “Whale #11”, you will notice that all recent large outflows from the first, match the recently inflows on the second. In fact, you can confirm (based on block #) that some of these transactions are happening directly between these addresses (while others are going to Coinbase first, and then to the second address).“Whale #3”“Whale #11”Although this doesn’t mean anything about where the markets are going, I thought some people would be interested in these findings. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3B5ceAL

What are things that could actually kill Bitcoin?
I’ve been following this page for a couple weeks now and allready have a very small amount of bitcoin myself but don’t feel like i really know enough about how it works.
Online you can really only find 2 opinions on bitcoin. People either absolutly love it or they totally hate it so i thought it would be interesting to hear what the bitcoin enthousiast think the dangers of Bitcoin are.
So what do you guys think that could actually kill bitcoin?

45 BTC were traded last week in Venezuela using (only) LocalBitcoin
Hi, guys I post this on the cryptocurrency subreddit but I noticed some people here don't read it and this is almos 100% Bitcoin focused. I'm Venezuelan and yes, I live here.
I just put only one data point in the title because some people really hate that I put several data points there (I guess you should make people happy sometimes)
Last week 48BTC were traded, so we care close to 200BTC monthly. Also, monthly minimum wage keeps going down, now under 23 USD.
One BTC trades around 125,000 Bs. (Bolivares, national currency)
LocalBitcoin is not the most used or popular, but it works as a gauge because it has an public stats updated weekly. I think the current king is Binance, after that comes AirTM, Reserve and others.
People use crypto to get rid of Bolivares and escape inflation, also to receive money from abroad, exchange their mining profit (mining here in theory is legal, but not safe anyway, electricity is free but unreliable, yesterday I just had a several hours blackout).
Last month inflation was 14%. High but better than that we had years ago.
Why no millions? Where are the zeroes? By law government removed six zeroes so 1,000,000 "old" Bs. is now 1 "new" Bs.
Yes, MONTHLY minimum wage is 23 USD, plus you get 45 Bs of food bonus in cash (that would be around 8 USD more) and in theory you should get a bag of food monthly worth around of 20 USD (rice, beans, oil, tuna, sugar, flour and so on). So if you don't have any extra income (other work, someone helping you and so on) you have to "survive" with that.
Average wage is around 100 USD monthly, a really good wage is 500 USD monthly (My dream hehehe).

The elephant in the room that critics never address. If Bitcoin is worth zero, why does the free market say Bitcoin value > 0 ?
Markets are assumed to be irrational short-term but efficient and rational over the long-term.
Speculative mania phases never last very long and once the bubble burst reality sets in quickly.
Over the long term markets are very efficient truth finding machines.
The collective wisdom and intelligence of markets is bigger than the intelligence and wisdom of the average investor in the same market.
If you make a price prediction and you are wrong after 1 year you can still argue that the market is wrong and you are right but if you make a price prediction and are still wrong after 5 or 10 years chances are very high that you were wrong and the market was right.
Bitcoin critics like Peter Schiff have been claiming that Bitcoin is worth 0 for 10 years and the market has been telling them they are wrong for 10 years.
Assuming that Schiff is right that would not only mean the market which is an efficient pricing machine over the long term is irrational and getting even more irrational over time. Historically this is not how markets have worked.
If we look at other bubbles in history we find the railroad mania, the tulip bubble and the dotcom bubble. All of these had speculative mania, unsophisticated investor participation and overpriced shares and assets which turned out to be worthless. Collapse of the market was seen within 2 years of mania onset. The market was very good at figuring out that the assets were mispriced and corrected itself like it should have.
Bitcoin has seen several bull markets so far that ended in what resembled a speculative mania which corrected itself in less than 2 years. The market corrected itself like it should have.
Bitcoin had listings in major futures exchanges since 2017. It's not a closed or small obscure market.
I don't think in history of finance there have been cases of speculative mania phases that lasted over 10 years and had several 70% corrections and longer bear markets.
If someone believes the value is 0 they believe in perpetual and complete failure of the market to price a fairly large market cap asset, essentially they don't believe in markets at all.
If they don't believe in free markets, what do they believe in then? Central planning?
