Just my two cents

I would say this "hybrid model" is a clear mistake, just keep things simple and stick to proof of work.

Energy efficiency is not an issue, censorship-resistance is.

Re: Ethereum, ¿podrá preservar el puesto #2 y el liderazgo en smart contracts?

En términos puramente monetarios, no creo que Ethereum sea superado en mucho tiempo. Ethereum es extremadamente accesible, tanto para desarrolladores como para usuarios finales. Es enorme, y por simple teoría de juegos, su comunidad, los arquitectos DeFi (solidity dev) y los desarrolladores core seguirán impulsándolo. Con miles de cadenas EVM y billones de dólares en TVL, el ecosistema de Ethereum se ha convertido en un monstruo demasiado grande para ser detenido fácilmente.

Mi voto sería: No, ETH seguirá firme en #2

Notas adiccionales:

Mi percepción actual de Ethereum es similar a la que tienes sobre BNB: no cumple con las propiedades fundamentales de una criptomoneda verdaderamente descentralizada, sino que se asemeja más a una base de datos semidescentralizada.

Ethereum, al adoptar el modelo de cuentas en lugar del modelo de moneda electrónica / UTXO, enfrenta limitaciones significativas en términos de escalabilidad. Desde mi punto de vista, es prácticamente imposible que logre escalar de manera eficiente. Problemas como la ausencia de verificación formal, el frontrunning, y la alta incidencia de transacciones fallidas convierten su ecosistema en un entorno caótico. Dadas estas limitaciones, no es de extrañar que muchos usuarios apuesten por Solana, que a pesar de no eliminarlas, al menos tiene una gran capacidad de transacciones por segundo.

En cuanto a Cardano, no lo metería en esta categoría. Cardano avanza muy lentamente, pero su enfoque es muy diferente, lo veo más similar a bitcoin que a ethereum. No conseguirá la misma usabilidad que ETH en muchos años.

Don't anticipate the outcome prematurely.

Your use of 'could have' indirectly implies that Bitcoin cannot be improved.

We have thousands of developers working tirelessly to make Bitcoin better and more widely adopted. Don’t give up on Bitcoin. My advice to everyone is to keep researching and striving to make the world a better place. Research on unstable solutions like lightning network that solve the problem. Focus on bitcoin fundamentals and development and try to contribute as much as you can. Always remain optimistic!

[ANN] $MEME: The original memecoin community on Bitcoin
by
albertorma
on 20/11/2024, 16:06:09 UTC

[WARNING]
I don't endorse the usage of any currency or token other than Bitcoin. This post is purely informative. 
BRC-20 tokens exist on the Bitcoin blockchain only as metadata. They rely on an indexer and follow the account model, which incentivizes the misuse of Bitcoin UTXOs. Thus, BRC-20 is more of a social phenomenon — similar to Ethereum — and should be understood and used as such, rather than as a fully reliable token standard or network. You can read more about their drawbacks here and here



$MEME 
The second BRC-20 token ever created and one of the first memecoin communities built on the Bitcoin network.

---

Overview 
$MEME was distributed through a fair minting process that lasted nearly one month, ensuring all early community members had an equal opportunity to participate. Minting 1 $MEME involved embedding a small chunk of data within the script of a Taproot input, which incurred a small fee that, as dictated by the network, was directed to miners as compensation. 

$MEME is a social experiment with a fixed supply and no inflation. It’s a simple, community-driven memecoin that thrives on participation and shared enthusiasm, without pretending to offer any utility beyond its cultural value.

$MEME is now fully minted and is only available through purchase.

---

Token Details 
- Total number of coins: 99,999 MEME 
- Total number of coins burned: ≥6,000 (A community member raised and burned them) 
- Circulating coins: ≤94,000 
- Date created: 8 March 2023, 7:44:22 PM 
- Utility: None

Re: Could this be a flaw of decentralisation?

This has never been about money - It has always been about solving a real problem! Of course, as a side effect, solving that problem makes Bitcoin the best form of money to ever exist.

Bitcoin is absolutely decentralized. As stated in the whitepaper, it prevents electronic coin double-spend attacks using a mechanism inspired by hashcash. This principle remains valid today and has nothing to do with the perfectly legitimate right of organizations to use it. Similarly, organizations holding gold and creating gold-backed assets don’t diminish gold’s intrinsic value.

While I understand the concern about greedy organizations potentially trying to take control of Bitcoin, do we actually see this happening? For Bitcoin to maintain its value, it must remain useful. Any violation of its principles would spark an instant revolution; the response from the cypherpunks who have dedicated their lives to this technology would be overwhelming, and the market would adjust accordingly, supporting the rightful version of Bitcoin / Bitcoin ideas.

Ideas cannot be destroyed, only improved. In my view, Bitcoin has grown too big to fail. I will support any project that adheres to its profound fundamentals, with Bitcoin "Core" being the most likely to fulfill this vision.

Re: Would Bitcoin Survive A Nuclear War?

It is certain that the decentralized nature of Bitcoin would allow to continue to function even in the face of a catastrophic event like a nuclear war. The nodes all around the world with a copy of the blockchain are privately owned, and as long as at least 2 of them do exist, bitcoin will continue to thrive. It should be noted that internet is just the most comfortable interface, but internet isn't necessarily inherent to bitcoin. What truly defines bitcoin is PoW. As long as the incentives continue to exist, the miners will find a way to comunicate with the network in order to be rewarded.

Re: 15M BTC goes into self custody
by
albertorma
on 04/12/2022, 18:07:36 UTC
It's clear that the decrease in the number of Bitcoin moving around / exchanging hands is due to a growing awareness among investors of the importance of securely storing their Bitcoin. As more people became aware of the risks associated with keeping their Bitcoin on exchanges, shitchain bridges or even in hot wallets, they are taking steps to move their funds into more secure forms of storage. This is a positive development that implies people becoming more savvy about managing their own Bitcoin and taking steps to protect It.

It's also important to remember that even though centralized exchanges play a legitimate role in the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin was never intended to be custodied by a third party. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin means that individuals are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their own funds, and it's crucial for people to take steps to protect their networth and retain control over their own Bitcoin.

Re: What is your plan with Bitcoin?
by
albertorma
on 01/12/2022, 10:25:56 UTC
I've been into bitcoin for a while. My personal strategy is allocating 100% of my portfolio to bitcoin no matter what the price is. It feels like the natural thing to do because trading implies third party risk and FIAT money implies trust. The only way I can be 100% certain about my money in a comfortable way, is holding bitcoin. I would have never regret loosing money on bitcoin as much as I would regret having ignored such a brilliant idea in case of being successful.

Some people might consider this strategy greedy, but for me, what's greedy is blindly believing in the FIAT money fraud. Allocating 100% of your portfolio to bitcoin will likely work for big portfolios or young people, specially given the current price circumstances.

as I am getting similar vibes to 2018 bear market and I feel, the market could have bottomed already. Shitcoiners are leaving, leveraged players are getting rekt, retailer lost trust, media is celebrating the bitcoin death, we are seeing miner fud for the third time in eight years, media still refuses to understand what a difficulty adjustment is... From my perspective, the reasons for the price drop are people just not understanding bitcoin yet.

It seems that I agree with every thing that you said there... except your point about shitcoiners are leaving.  One of the BIGGEST of the smoke and mirror Ponzi Rube Goldberg machine shitcoins is Ethereum, and even if it might not suffer as BIG of a dramatic downfall as the FTX baloney, it is likely similar in terms of the magnitude of the value that is captured within that baloney pandering for influence project... that has been way more successful in terms of holding itself up than anyone with any appreciation for its various fakeness and its building on affinity would have expected.

I am not even suggesting that that scam is imminent in terms of its death, even though it seems to somewhat fly in the face of your assertion that "shticoiners are leaving" since that project has been holding its... 0.07-ish peg to bitcoin, and it is likely not even should be valued at 0.007-ish.. .. so that project could keep going many many more years.. perhaps?  unless it is more iminent in dying than I can see... I thought it should have been dead several times in the last 6-7 years, and it keeps plugging along scamming people (while the people they are "scamming" make money - which seems contrary to definition) and even building more ways in which scams can be built on top of the foundational scam...   Perhaps one of the greatest value that Eth and it's various imitators bring to the space is the ability to easily build more kinds of scams.

Sorry, my communication has not been clear. I am perceiving how lots of shitcoiners already hoarded their USD and left the ecosystem forever. However, scammers will never be 100% out. There will be new scammers very soon.

As you mentioned, Ethereum (and EVM forks) pseudo touring completeness enables blatant scams happening. Scamming is inherent to human nature. Deploying a token has no cost and no risk. Back in the bull run, a teenager deploying 20 tokens per day could easily become a millonaire in a few days. Not to mention by forking a "DeFi" project and throwing some money at CertiK, you'd be perceived as a superhero and attract hundreds of millions of TVL by just copy pasting some code and having a decent communication. I am not even kidding, I witnessed these events. At some point being a solidity developer became unfairly and extremely rewarding.

Today, this is getting harder to do, but creative minds still manage to scam some money. For this reason I don't see ethereum dying any time soon. Only time will punish those who blindly believe in these scams backed by lies.

P.S.  By the way,  I did a quickie look at your post history, just to see if there might have been some reason that I had not previously noticed any of your posts (not that I can remember), and surely the post you just made is probably close to one of your best posts, if not your best post...  ... In other words, you have quite a few shitty posts in your post history,...... hahahaha.. no problem.. You can do whatever you like..I just thought that I would mention that I did a quickie look.. because I just wanted to see if I might have missed something.. You know sometimes a brand new member comes onto the scene.... and then I see some of his/her posts, and I am like: " '¿holy shit?' where did this person come from?  How did s/he get to be so smart?"  hahahahahaha.. I could mention some names.. but I really don't like to do that.. except to just mention that those kinds of things sometimes have happened to me, for what it's worth?.. ..  . 

To be fair, my post history is full of shit. I don't think my bitcoin knowledge has improved a lot among these years, but my communicative skills, my english skills did. I feel ashamed of the low quality of my posts, but I see no reason to start a new account, as I am pseudonymous anyway.

Thanks for the merit, you are the first person to merit me. From now on I'll try to become a valuable member of the comunity.

Re: If you were the government, how would you fight against bitcoin?
by
albertorma
on 28/11/2022, 22:33:26 UTC
If I was the government, I would regulate every CEX as much as I could. I would forbid bank transfers happening when the receiver is a cex unless It's strictly regulated (this is already happening, but I would endure It). I would regulate stablecoins, those owning these assets on omni or EVM chains would have to provide KYC or else would get their assets burnt. And lastly, I would encourage banks to offer bitcoin products to clients as long as they follow my regulations, this way not only I stop bitcoin, but also profit from It.

But of course, 10 minutes later after I impose my regulations, a bitcoin block would be found. There is no way to fully regulate bitcoin.

Hm?  Tell me more.  You have been registered here almost as long as me, so there are a variety of ways that you could have been accumulating BTC in the past more than 7 years... Of course, I am not disagreeing in regards to the BTC price being at historical low levels, but how can we tell that it is a good time to buy.. also, there may be some of us who have been buying all the way down from $69k until now, and then what happens if we run out of money to buy more?  Sure some folks have cash flow and some do not..

In fact, I am one of those guys, I don't have any "cash flow" because bitcoin is the only currency I use. Never had a work that paid out Fiat currency. Like the saying states, time in the market is more important than timing the market. I am not much into short time speculation/profits, for me bitcoin, at Its core, is a currency rather than an investment vehicle, in opposition to what the majority of the world thinks right now.

With this being said, I still decided to give my opinion, as I am getting similar vibes to 2018 bear market and I feel, the market could have bottomed already. Shitcoiners are leaving, leveraged players are getting rekt, retailer lost trust, media is celebrating the bitcoin death, we are seeing miner fud for the third time in eight years, media still refuses to understand what a difficulty adjustment is... From my perspective, the reasons for the price drop are people just not understanding bitcoin yet.

I only focus on fundamentals, no matter what. And the truth is, to date, bitcoin is the purest form of money. Decentralized money ideas exist from 80s (crypto anarchist manifesto) and ideas cannot be destroyed, only improved. It is certain that eventually the idea of decentralized money will succeed and give us back the power governments and bankers have stolen from us, with bitcoin having the highest chance to lead this revolution. The "industry" being full of shit, does not invalidate any of the good things we already have.

In conclusion, having in consideration the fundamentals, and the USD situation getting worse and worse every year, with bitcoin being at 16k ish and the whales buying all the way down, I think allocating a percentage of your portfolio to bitcoin is a responsible and smart thing to do. Despite what recent price action tell us, bitcoin is a great hedge, because It will continue to exist forever, unlike the USD. I highly doubt It will continue on going down. Can't be certain as markets are irrational, but whatever happens, I want to be part of this.

We had > 400B daily volume in the last drop. With FTX being the biggest player, I think further liquidations will be extremely irrelevant. Smart thing to do is buy. Fundamental value of bitcoin has never changed.

The morons will never leave. The ideas of bitcoin enable pure freedom, therefore, we have tons of CEXes, altcoins and scammers making money off this situation. I sense most of them have already capitulated, but I am 100% sure they will be back.

Bitcoin fundamentals have never changed, I'd like to quote satoshi: "The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime."

Bitcoin original ideas will continue to exist as they reside in individuals like you. Price becomes irrelevant when you are 100% convinced bitcoin will change the world, as It is the only natural form of money that exists today.

And also I will mention ETC is centralized crap as well. They went through several hardforks, one of those changed the mining algo for old miners to use their nvidia 1060s.

ASICs are needed. Otherwise you are not mining. You are just playing some games, which would be completly legit. You could mine with your CPU just to experiment.

If you don't have access to cheap/free electricity and intend to run a little mining farm, just don't mine. Unfortunately circumstances would be not good for you. You would be burning more and more money every day and you will very unlikely help decentralization.

Generally speaking, If you have the resources and access to brand new machines, then mining is always profitable. If mining is not profitable -> miners turn down machines -> difficulty go down -> mining is profitable again.

However, as you can see, bitcoin hashrate is hitting new highs every day. Profitability today is reaching new and new lows every day. This is due to technological dissemination. Every day better machines are created. This is never ever stopping, which leads to small mining operations failing.

If you live in a cold country, you could use bitcoin miners to heat your house. This way you'd be yield positive regardless of the hashrate evolution.

Yes, I would support the argument that the existence of exchanges are among the factors facilitating the popularity and accessibility that people have to bitcoins. Exchanges make it possible for people to buy and sell bitcoins easily, which helps to increase the popularity of the currency. Additionally, exchanges provide people with a way to use their bitcoins to purchase goods and services, which makes the currency more accessible.

Wojak farm is a nyan fork with improved tokenomics and TWAP oracles built in.

It also has a three token ecosystem. However tokenomics were redesigned for the three tokens keep their value among time.
* You stake wojak in order to mint pepes, but you have to pay a fee in ethereum every time you claim pepes.
* You can mint CHADs by staking PEPE/ETH uniswap LP tokens.
* CHADs are the main governance token, therefore the one that will manage all the ethereum taxes collected.

This can easily go to 3M market cap, take a look. And never invest before liquidity is locked.
