Difficulty will keep going up forever but at a slower pace. I believe we would see a drop when after the bitcoin halving..
That isn't actually true according to what I have read. It fluctuates according to how many blocks are found at a given speed. So if blocks are not being found fast enough, the difficulty will actually decrease to make it so that blocks are found more easily, I believe the time they try is every 10 minutes, someone can please correct me if I am wrong though.
the new question should be, will the difficulty will keep going
up down forever ?
The question to be asked will the GAW-ZEN-PAYCOIN GROUP destroy or damage bitcoin as much as they did to LTC
If they succeed with the tactics and methods they used against lite coin they will surprise me. I would say they could be
A) good for us all
B) bad for us all
C) somewhere in the middle _______________________ this is my best guess. they hang around do okay and bleed off some bitcoin users. thus rates stay okay for btc
