Re: 2021, time for a new general & diff speculation thread...
Off topic but I propose the USA should stop HODLing their $1billion+ worth of BTC confiscated from the Silk Road wallet guy and other crime syndicates and use it to pay off part of its massive $27 billion dollar debt (Christ, look how fast that total is increasing! 
)
)Those are trillions not billions.
Meanwhile, the estimate says between 2,5% and 10% but the current pace is 10%, so how is the script approximating the outcomeas it makes little sense to see it go down to let's say 3% if we're already that far away in front!
And I doubt it knows how to compute bitmain and Cannan shipments into the equation

Next Difficulty Change: between +2.5094% and +10.2373%
Current Pace: 109.9646% (286 / 260.08 expected, 25.92 ahead)
Current Pace: 109.9646% (286 / 260.08 expected, 25.92 ahead)
So, ready for another 10% increase? And this time, no offense taken, but don't tell me this one is also because of gears being switched to turbo mode or another batch of 1 million S9 suddenly getting back alive, for god's sake just how many of those would be out here?
Somebody is shipping gear and somebody is plugging it in, new gear!
this makes me think that 1M bitcoin will need at least 10-15 full cycles, that adds up to about 50 years, I don't know how old you are, but I certainly won't live for another 50 years.
If I'm really lucky and pushing the top of life expectancy in my country I might barely make it another 40, but even so, I'm on the same page with you, not everybody can wait for decades, I'm always telling people who keep saying hold, hold, hold, what's better $100k now or $100 million when you're too old to be able to enjoy anything? I'm no Mr. Burns.
