Imagine if he invested in BCH, would probably be the catalyst that would destroy BTC. Elon is an assets price wet dream, anything he tweets goes 📈lol

i hope not, i dont have 210 bch yet.

Same.

but why 210?

u/fixthetracking avatar

It would represent 1/100000 of the total BCH supply.

The problem with BCH is while it is interesting, it doesn't solve anything or bring anything new to the table. It just delays the problem.

If you could have a picasso painting or a painting of a picasso painting by someone else thats done slightly better while still doing exactly the same which one would you invest your money in?

Lightning may be useless, mimblewimble might not solve everything just like pop-up and first-gen behind-screen cameras in smartphones, theres trial and error involved in developing new things.

The problems in crypto are fungibility and scaling and scaling isn't solved by making a basket bigger to carry twice the amount of apples, the amount of apples carried must become exponentially bigger compared to the size increase.

u/Goblinballz_ avatar

I don't think you can compare crypto with art work. I 100% disagree, Bitcoin Cash definitely solves the problem BTC has created. BTC literally can't onboard any more uses. Their blockchain is maxed out, fees are rife, congestion is unable to be discharged, LN and mimblewimble have had zero effect on this congestion so far as you rightly pointed out. None of these things are going to change.

Blockchain and crypto is going to be here forever. We're only 12 years in, that's nothing. All the new users that will be on boarded over the decades aren't going to opt for BTC.

Obviously I also disagree with your stance on big blocks. I think big blocks are a perfectly reasonable way to scale while maintaining decentralisation and keeping fees low.

That's interesting, because when I buy a larger HDD there are two ways it got larger:

  1. More platters in the case

  2. More bytes on the platter

You know what's never happened? They've never sold me a printer, and told me to print out my data instead of saving it on the drive, in order to scale the drive.

Adding more platters is like increasing the block size.

Getting more data per platter is like compression tech like xthinner.

Printing your data so you don't use your drive is like Lightning.

I feel like him acknowledging the point made by Kim can be quite huge. If you just simply search on Google for the word "bitcoin" everything that shows up is along the lines of this article https://www.theceomagazine.com/business/finance/tesla-bitcoin/ praising Tesla and Elon Musk for the big step they've taken. I'm not trying to say it's not what they claim, but it would be useful for the average population to actually understand it's not just pink, as these articles portray it to be.

Following the same train of thought, there are a lot of articles with the same title "What can you buy with Bitcoin?", or "5 Things that you can buy with Bitcoin in 2021". The overall popularization of cryptocurrencies is not the bad part, quite the opposite actually, such articles help with the "bad view" that crypto gathered in recent years. The issue that I'm seeing though is how the message is perceived by the readers. It's seen like all you have to do is buy this imaginary thing for 1000 USD, wait for it to boom, and then buy a Tesla a few months later for only 1000USD, the initial price paid for the crypto.

I've already seen it mentioned on here, but I believe the majority of Bitcoin owners at the moment have no actual interest in how the system actually works, they just saw the growing popularity of it and went with the herd. Again, not a necessarily bad thing. Just stating some facts. This indifference is fed by articles like the ones I mentioned above and the lack of ones that explain the system of crypto. I actually had a hard time searching for one like this https://tenx.tech/starter-guide/the-complete-guide-to-fees-and-hidden-costs-in-crypto-ecosystem that briefly mentions the fees behind transactions.

Even if I don't intend to buy anything using Bitcoin at the moment, just the sole action of buying and selling the currency is stripping me of some of the profit. I'm trying the free trial of a scalping terminal https://bittrade.one/ to maybe cut some of those costs by trying those new available strategies. That's not the main point though. I'm trying to say that Elon Musk acknowledging that it's not in fact as easy to buy a Tesla just because you invested in Bitcoin one year ago might influence some other important factors in the domain.

Lolwut, maxis don't sell

every btc block comes with a 10% free bonus for miners. Since 65% of hash is chinese this means the high fees make Chinese miners 6.5% extra. this is called "western bully us fee". this 6.5% flows in to BCH develoment.

this is called the "White man low iq" plan.

it allows the chinese to steal another 50x to 100x of wealth from the west. see Tether tries to get as much dollars as possible on hidden bank accounts in switzerland.

the chinese try to get as much real Bitcoin as possible.

Tether needs Bitcoin price high.

Chinese need Bitcoin price low.

the fork made both possible.

who has the better plan? my money is on the Chinese.

cause the most power full group is still miners.

cause speculators are NOT users.

real users end speculation.

the chinese said: lets take gold and make fool gold copy. make westeners happy with fool gold, take real gold for ourselves. then wait.

this is old age Chinese plan. Ask Canada were all its gold is. Trudeau sold to China.

Anyways, i am talking to much today.

better to keep my mouth shut.

boy does it piss them off that the whitepaper made it to china cause jihan translated it before the cia and nsa realized the danger of Bitcoin. now jihan is worth 2 billion and the part of the 99% in the west that want to rebel gets protected by the chinese with hash.

the enemy of our enemy is our friend. keep reminding them. pisses them off sooo much.

this is why western bch made pact with the chinese ... for now.

china wants their 0.1% to replace 1% of the world.

1% does not want this.

we got to make both keep fighting each other to give part of 99% small chance at becoming 10%.

Bitcoin Cash vs Bitcoin

The elite usually wins these fights ...

But this, ... this is Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is disruptive!

and if not, does it still have value?

Make your bet!

Will wealth on the planet centralize (Bitcoin) or decentralize (Bitcoin Cash)?

Please explain your argument that bitcoin is centralized?

Isn't the only difference the block size, and thus the fees?

I understand the importance of that difference of course, it just does not make bitcoin any more "centralized"

u/jessquit avatar
  1. BTC development is centralized. There is one reference client under the control of one very small, elite team. True, there are many contributors, but for your contribution to make it into the repo it cannot challenge the wisdom of the inner sanctum.

  2. Fees guarantee that no more than a tiny fraction of the world's richest people can ever control their own BTC.

billionares would have 100x more control over millionares if the world ran on Bitcoin and proof of stake.

u/Jameszz3 avatar

I think his point was that if the only people that can afford to use Bitcoin on chain are the ones making massive transactions then on chain Bitcoin becomes “centralised” on banks, business to business, and the ultra rich.

there are 25 000 banks in the world. if they all make 20 settlement tx a day, they get to control Bitcoin. they can collectively decide to replace all there 50 sat/byte tx in the mempool with 500 sat/byte tx, which means fee estimators will tell users to pay 10x more for a tx.

this dynanic gives them so much control over the 99%. want to buy a tesla? only if those 25 000 banks allow it. otherwise they can prevent your tx from ever getting confirmed.

Small miner want to join a pool? Hope you like monthly or quarterly or worse payout intervals.

It's not even about a banks here, mass usage of the network is prohibitive by the block size, each time more users will want to transact. the fees will skyrocket.

They've since made new changes to bitcoin cash as well.

  • they re enabled some script codes to allow more functionality on bitcoin as well as added some new codes. It allows things like SLP tokens and smart contracts on bitcoin cash. Sites like memo.cash can work as well.

  • they removed Replace by fee, which was added and completely broke 0 confirmation transactions as it creates an intentional way to double spend before its confirmed. You wouldn't do a large transaction unconfirmed anyway, but for small transactions it's usually fine (without RBF)

Edited

Centralised = there is a central authority who can change the system. Blockstream is the only team that has control over the codebase and they don’t allow any fix. On the other side there is BCH that is developed by 6+ different teams, every miner choses which implementation they run. This is how the forks happen every 6 month that is basically a network upgrade/maintenance.

Bad actors’ code gets abandoned just like ABC.

u/walerikus avatar

I break up decentralization on three basic points.

No administrative rights

File-sharing system with multiple carriers - nodes

Currency issuance by multiple peers

You can further add other also significant parameters

User base - BTC is not friendly to more users, it can be used only by a limited group of people or be used as a B2B settlement system for financial institutions which would provide custodian services to the majority of users.

So this might not be a centralization of the network itself, but it is certainly a centralization of network usage.

Why second layers and custodian services doesn't help decentralization?

LN is nowhere near as sustainable as the blockchain network where nodes can leave and join at will and no user experience will be affected, something that LN can't do. Also LN network structure can be performed in two ways, all peers connected to each other and filled with liquidity, which does not scale easily, otherwise multiple big hubs will have multiple connection, which can scale better, but leads to centralization.

Custodian trusted third parties have risk of censorship because of administrative rights of the host.

I'm not sure Elon is the one people should focus on. He's selling products where a $10 fee is a very small percent of the total cost. I don't think he has much incentive to see this change.

u/Bitcoinopoly avatar

[Elon's] selling products where a $10 fee is a very small percent of the total cost.

That's not entirely true. Starlink subscription service bills, The Boring Company's Not A Flamethrower, and small ticket items from Tesla or Solar City like minor maintenance/repairs and accessories are just some of the products Elon sells for which a $10 transaction fee would be significant enough to turn off a lot of people, myself included.

u/shadowofashadow avatar

Good point. I'm interested in how much of this decisions is Elon's vs Tesla management. If it is Elon driving it we may see him start to accept crypto for his other companies too.

Moreover, when people start using BTC more to buy Teslas, the high we be higher with longer confirmation times. Tesla and customers will not like this.

As a merchant accepting cryptocurrencies the fees don’t matter to him, you’re right. But as a businessman looking to do business he’ll want something with the least amount of friction. It’s only a natural progression that everyone will do from BTC to other cryptocurrencies with actual utility.

Bitcoin Cash is one of those cryptos. It’s so damn useful and fun and easy and the possibilities are endless due to its quick low fee, reliable transactions. The world is going to want this.

I've gone back and read the Book of Satoshi recently and the amount of care and thought that was put into the design is really underappreciated.

It's really hard for me to understand how people who read his whitepaper and forum posts don't think his scaling plan was as good as the rest of the design.

Sooner or later he will bump up against the irrationality of that group and then he will get it.

It's even possible, though unlikely, that he already gets it, and is setting everyone up for an insane coup de grace.

The one thing I like about Elon is that he is willing to make changes even after sinking a lot of money into something. For instance, he abandoned using fiberglass and carbon composites for his satellite program after $millions on their development. Went to using stainless steel instead despite it being old technology. He knows when to switch to something better.

Hopefully this thinking will remain true as he spends more time using cryptocurrency.

Most people currently involved in crypto doesn't care enough about it beside the monetary figures to just wonder if it actually works, let alone how it works. They just follow blindly the position of some public figure they have faith in. Opening Elon eyes on how bitcoin work and why btc doesn't make any sense anymore is the key to opening millions eyes, and would be enough to turn the tide around and have the social media campaign strike back at btc maxis, keep up these smart moves Kim, Egon and everyone else involved, especially Roger who is admirably steady to his belief and position in a crypto world were everyone change their position every two weeks. I personally don't have the stamina and nerves to go on this social media crusade against axa empire and their sock puppet army but I admire your steadiness. I'll stick to doing my part of the work on everyday life by just advising people that ask me about crypto to look at the white paper and the brief history of bitcoin censorship, if they are smart enough they'll do the math.

It will remain the same as it is now.

u/Oscuridad_mi_amigo avatar

Maybe even cheaper, because more transactions pay for more than enough hard drive space of the miners.

But definitely not more than now. If the price goes up we can just pay fractions of a satoshi, like 1 satoshi for an entire transaction, rather than 1 satoshi for x bytes. If it gets even higher in price , they can just fork to allow smaller decimals of BCH coins. Super easy.

What? That's mathematically nonsense. The numbers have already been converted to a common currency (dollars) so the difference in price per coin has already been factored out. Your suggestion would only be valid if the numbers were in their own coin units.

What he meant was that fee per market cap was low. If we assume the same money velocity on both chains, it's a fair comparison since it compares transaction efficiency for a complete ecosystem. However, throwing numbers without context is a dumb way to make a point.

Edited

> If we assume the same money velocity

Why would you assume the same money velocity on both chains?

One chain isn't even money and it has been deliberately crippled to reduce its velocity.

That would only matter if their transaction capacities were the same. Since BCH at BTC market caps would still be nowhere near its capacity, nor is capacity inversely proportional to market cap; market cap is orthogonal in this comparison.

What two factors are you talking about?

There is transferred value and the fee for that. I don't mind what units you compare in but they've got to be the same unit. What possible justification is there for dividing the BTC fees in dollars by 100? Are you trying to say dollars transferred by the BTC network are a hundred times more valuable?

If I want to send you ten dollars worth of value... I want to know what that will cost. What will end up in my wallet and what will it be worth. And it's not a hundred times less on the bch network.

As for "ignoring LN" ... you're kidding right... In ignoring it just like everybody else in the world. Nobody is using LN. Including BTC proponents. Quite rightly because it's so poorly supported that it might as well be a different coin.

From Clark moody dashboard:

Lightning Network (Public) ?

Total Capacity 1,167.43 BTC

Capacity Value $61M

You're find of dividing by network cap... Do that for the LN capacity too.

It doesn't work like that lmfao

I was thinking to exit from BCH, but then I saw this. Now I am reconsidering, the current situation might just be the near death experience of bch that is sometimes needed (my bids triggered below 0.009 btc - I guess I need some more btc to put bids also at sub 0.008btc/bch).

u/Jellyhojo avatar

Best time to buy BCH is now. Smart bch is coming in couple of months. I think that itself will shock many people outside bch community who think that bch is just a copy of btc

Well, if the current use case of being used for merchants that dump into your bids will be the only use case, then bch is heading to 0. Even those who replace will buy their replacements for lower prices...

u/Jellyhojo avatar

Haha :D. Well, don't get too pessimistic now. Good things are coming. When the price starts to finally move upside, the move might be really explosive.

Monero is superior to Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash in every way a user wants from transaction costs to privacy but it still hasn’t caught on.

u/Oscuridad_mi_amigo avatar

One word: fees.

Monero doesnt scale. Same as Bitcoin-Core doesnt.

Monero can handle 1,700 tps to my understanding and fees are like .003¢.

Doge has a hardcoded min fee of 1 doge per input with a Math.ceil rounding it up. What happens when 1 Doge starts becoming 5 cents? 10 cents? I think you get where I'm going with this.

“Fair Point” but no one is adopting your bitcoin crash coin. So who gives a shit. I love how all the post here mention Bitcoin. Go to the bitcoin sub and find convos on BCH...not many at all. BCH is just another shitcoin. Don’t believe me? Look at its price history. Its says it all “shitcoin”

"I love how all the post here mention Bitcoin. Go to the bitcoin sub and find convos on BCH...not many at all"

Because r/bitcoin has been a heavily censored circle jerk for years !! You not allowed to talk about BCH !! How do you not know this ?

u/150yearsOld avatar

BCH isnt Bitcoin.

u/CDSagain avatar

lol , you keep telling yourself that, listening to others telling you that lol!!

I'm guessing you must be quite new, got in late, didn't experience bitcoin when it worked ? When it worked just like bitcoin cash works today.

Bitcoin, peer to peer electronic cash.

Bitcoin forked, BTC was one side of that fork, BCH was the other. If BCH is not bitcoin then neither is BTC.

u/150yearsOld avatar

Guess you must have been given the bcash propaganda and like most sheeple, not looked into it.

Bitcoin did not fork, bcash did.

Bcash does not follow the Bitcoin white paper. Instead bcashers spread propaganda to defend ignoring key aspects of the white paper, but when you look into the propaganda - and Im sure you wont - you see it is simply peddling of baseless QAnon level conspiracy theories.

propaganda - https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@adambalm/in-2013-peter-todd-was-paid-off-by-a-government-intelligence-agent-to-create-rbf-create-a-propaganda-video-and-cripple-the-btc

Interesting. The key bit of information in this link goes to a 404. For those interested, you can read it here - https://web.archive.org/web/20190624131939/https://pastebin.com/4BcycXUu

The following was particularly interesting:

The second problem is bandwidth: the Bitcoin protocol has atrocious scalability in that to mine blocks you must keep up with the bandwidth used by all= transactions. The current 1MB blocksize is small enough to make this not amajor problem yet, but if you increase that (with a hardfork!) at some poi= nt you will have increased it to the level where you can no longer mine anonymously and then regulating miners directly becomes possible. Unfortunatel= y while technological improvements have made non-anonymous bandwidth more p= lentiful, for anonymous bandwidth - or even just censorship resistant bandw= idth - the options are much more limited. Jurisdiction hopping is an option= , but even for the likes of The Pirate Bay it's proved to be a huge pain in= the ass, and they only had the relatively small media industry as their en= emy rather than the much larger banking industry. (and government in genera= l) It does appear that you could make [i]a[/i] crypto-currency with better = core scalability - as opposed to the well understood and already-used ways = to fairly securely transfer funds off-chain - but no-one's quite yet figure= d out yet how to upgrade Bitcoin itself with those improvements.

And

This punishes blocks that take a long time to propegate, particularly for miners behind low-bandwidth links. It'll be a nice natural incentive towards smaller blocks, although I do worry a bit about how the idea could be latched onto as "well obviously we can increase the blocksize now!"

And

Hi John,

I saw Peter Todd's post recently that he received funding from you for = work on replace-by-fee, and of course I've also seen your various = rewards and bounties placed elsewhere. As I am also interested in = helping to fund some of this work, I thought perhaps we could get to = know each other and join forces as appropriate?

On my side we are working on Hive, which is a user-friendly Bitcoin = wallet for OS X (and eventually Android). Most of my interests lie in = speed and reliability rather than cutting-edge features. I saw your = campaign Keep Bitcoin Free!... If you don't mind my asking, what else = are you working on?

Cheers John, -wendell

And

Regarding my schedule I'll be back in contact for sure two weeks after the conference. As I say below you do what you feel is right with replace-by-fee. I'm looking forward to seeing the video! You will see some more support from me in the future with it too. My bitcoins aren't accessible right now due to some travel, but you can say in the forums you have gotten another 1BTC from me today. I will make good on that promise.

Replace-by-fee may not be something you like, but its not some grand conspiracy.

I dont think your propaganda is going to acheive what you hope it will.

Both coins are NOT useful for payments! When will people understand.....Please use them, do some research before spreading this BTC bullshit here!

you could probably say the same about bsv or btg or whatever other stupid fork was shat out.

who cares about transaction throughput if it does nothing but bleed value for years and years on end. you'd seriously be better off holding dollars.

Why do you guys always sound so mad?

At this point, Bcash and all the other forks are just dividends for OGs to live off, without touching their BTC. If you want cheaper faster transactions, just about anything on CMC can do that. But they don't try and drag bitcoin's reputation down in the process.

Almost everyone on this subreddit is an OG, dummy. We're not scared of holding the bag like you are, because we're interested in the technology, not the dollar value. So what other PoW coin works at scale completely on-chain? If you know of another one I'd certainly be interested in it.

Fuck ye!

BTC crash?

Aw shit this means like 50/50 chance BCH gets an Elon pump at some point in the near future

Saw that somewhere:

"I can't buy a Tesla with bitcoins, but I can sell my Tesla to buy bitcoins..."

The same post in r/cryptocurrency was 80% downvoted https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/mcunr3/elon_musk_agrees_that_bitcoin_cash_has_certain/

Salty core maximalists. For some reason they hate real crypto with utility and prefer to use visa and paypal, like what the actual heck?!
