      "body": "It's clear, as the most nuts of a long run of nuts years comes to a close, the Bitcoin bubble aka 'dotcom bubble 2.0' is now grabbing mainstream attention, and after spending the last few months studying this gobsmacking phenomenon I feel obliged to share my thoughts, and dare I say, warnings.\n\nThe first point I want to emphasise: “Bitcoin” the ‘brand’, or whatever you want to call it, is just the first one, and the entire reason I feel compelled to write this is to emphasise this point, as it’s now getting out of hand, and if you, or anyone you know is tempted to jump on the bandwagon, it’s likely to be the first name you hear, and the space is populated by a lot of very excited (or ecstatically manic) idealistic people who have been into it for a while, and probably done very well out of it, to the extent that many of them seem to have lost all sense, and their eyes have glazed over with Bitcoin signs.\n \nBut there are several reasons that it’s likely too late for most people, and buying what is currently called “Bitcoin” or “BTC”, and a few alternatives that are also highly over-priced due to the irrational exuberance of the Bitcoin bubble, is in my opinion really not a good idea, for several reasons. Even Charlie Lee, the creator of ‘Litecoin’ (often called the silver to Bitcoin’s gold) has publicly said he thinks it’s gone too far.\n\nPersonally, I think the best way to view Bitcoin is like the ‘WWW/World Wide Web’ protocol that Tim Berners-Lee unleashed in 1989. That was like a new kind of language that enabled computers to talk to each other, so that people all over the world only needed a software browser like Netscape, Internet explorer, then Safari, Chrome, and so on, to read that language and present it to us in a way that means something to us, either as text, or images, video, sound, etc. Bitcoin is like Netscape. It’s the first model of a new layer on the internet, which is an internet of value.\n \nBitcoin is the first one, but what is happening is far bigger than Bitcoin itself, and it has already been vastly superseded by many superior alternatives, while the current incarnation is buckling under the pressure of the huge surge in interest, and it can’t cope with the number or transactions, and the fees are becoming absurdly high, ironically.\n \nOne of the features of Bitcoin is supposed to be that it is “decentralised”, which is usually taken to mean it cuts out the ‘middle man’, aka banks. But all that has really happened is centralisation has taken different forms, either in terms of funding for development (much of which comes from big finance anyway), or in terms of the cartels of miners needed to keep it going, a majority of them in big mining ‘farms’ in China, which probably also means under the closely monitored permission, if not direct involvement, of the Chinese government.\n \nBut even purely from an investment point of view, when a single Bitcoin is worth nearly $20,000 USD or $25,000 AUD, then in order to make any money from it, the amounts it needs to increase by get bigger the higher it goes. For anyone who doesn’t already own at least 1 Bitcoin, then the margins get smaller as the price goes higher.\n \nMore pressing in my opinion is the fact that the governments of the major economies haven’t yet established how they are going to deal with it. The growth in 2017 has been almost a model of exponential growth, and there is just no way they can ignore it any longer. They will most definitely have to act soon, and it may not be to everybody’s liking. That’s not even considering the more basic question of taxation, and how many people who have suddenly made large sums of money, many seemingly under the misapprehension that it’s completely anonymous, while often bragging about it on social media. So when that hammer comes down, there may well be a big shock awaiting for many.\n\nBut I don’t mean to sound too pessimistic, in actual fact I’m not especially disagreeing with the many out there saying “it’s going to a million dollars” or whatever, I’m actually just making the distinction that they are talking about “Bitcoin” as though that’s what it’s all about, when they are actually talking about a whole new ‘internet of value’ layer on top of the existing internet. And that’s not going to go to a million, but it’s more like a total overhaul of the existing financial system, and going to soak up trillions. Even “Blockchain” isn’t adequate any more to describe it. Or “Hyperledger” or “the Tangle”, or any of the multitude of others appearing. This is the whole point — Bitcoin was just the first one. It opened a pandora’s box, but it has already been left in the dust by its offspring.\n\nSo, in more practical terms, in case anyone who might have actually read this far and given a shit, I would personally highly recommend avoiding buying Bitcoin, and probably any of the others over $100 right at this moment. Probably even over $10. When the bubble bursts, they will probably all contract to more realistic levels. There are likely to be opportunities even bigger than the dotcom boom, and the best way to decide which will survive the bubble bursting and become the Googles and Amazons of the new economy is to do a bit of research into which ones are viewing it more solidly and long term like this, and not basing their entire business model on a kind of vague idea of destroying the world economy overnight because “fuck the banks”, but actually understand the very basic mundane reality that they will have to work with the existing system, and that it will still be as revolutionary as the internet has been, without needing to necessarily ruin too many lives in the process.\n\nPersonally I’m watching Ripple very closely. The crypto-heads kind of hate it because they see them as kind of collaborators working with ‘the enemy’, so that’s kept it a little shielded from some of the irrationally exuberant mania. I see them more as having their heads in the real world and having the best chance of actually succeeding. \nThere’s my 0.02 Ripples.  Be safe y’all",

      "body": "That really means I can't buy anything under $10 with it, and then for anything over (by enough) I'd then have to pay the same again for the privilege. The idea of 'mass adoption' is absurd while that kind of thing is going on. So, really the only thing giving Bitcoin (in its current \"core\" incarnation) any value at all at the moment is blind hope that it will keep going up so you can sell it to someone else for more than you paid for it. \n\nIn fact the current situation is making 'mass adoption' increasingly less likely. Just today Steam has announced they are going to stop accepting Bitcoin because the fees are too high and the transactions take too long, and the price volatility is too nuts. Until this scaling/fees/transaction time issue is solved, it really is a house of cards built on nothing but the faith of true believers, and a lot of the original true believers are now maintaining that Bitcoin Cash (which has solved scaling, for now at least) is the real Bitcoin, and as crazy as it might sound now, it's still not totally out of the question that BTC could crash hard enough while BCH rises enough so that the prices overlap and that debate is reignited. At that point it would come down to which one most people accept. \n\nFutures trading, and the weirdly paradoxical hope that institutional money will save the day (after all the constant bleeting about \"fuck the banks\" and all that) is not really the solution, because it doesn't actually mean people buying actual Bitcoins, just betting on it, and they can still bet on it going down, from the safety of an institution that will make money either way and doesn't especially care, in an environment dominated by people who are generally more likely to realise it's a bubble and think it's over-valued. So they can literally bet on it going down, help make that happen, and profit from it, while also being able to say \"told you so\".\n\nIronically, at this point I think the best hope of saving the \"Bitcoin brand\" is probably if BCH actually does take over, unless someone comes up with some other solution to the scaling problem that everyone involved globally can agree on (with no real rules on who that is, nor obligation to even stay involved, or interested at all), and after the shit storm that has gone on this year with all the forking, that seems doubtful really. Especially while there are so many better alternatives already available that can do everything it does better. \n\nPeople hate the \"tulip bulb\" type analogies, to the extent I wonder if I should have put a trigger warning. But throwing the sorts of sums of money at Bitcoin as it currently operates that are being hurled at it right now is really totally insane, when there are so many real solid alternatives with real tangible realistic things that can be factored in to real tangible valuation. Not even getting into the environmental cost of using enough electricity to power a house for a week with every transaction. \n\nIt's this total pig-headed unwillingness to look these basic fundamental facts in the face (to paraphrase General Melchett) that is most bewildering, and the most blatant indication that it's quite probably the single most irrationally exuberant bubble in human history.\n\nThe sooner people let go of this evangelical perception that the Bitcoin brand must be preserved at all costs (literally) as the most important thing, the better. It's the technology it introduced that matters.",

      "body": "I didn't think so, but after researching the Segwit2x fork a little more and seeing that the way they have (not) handled replay protection and will start as a new coin B2X, I feel like it could be a lot more disruptive than most seem to be expecting, because all of this is so complicated that not many people really understand it. If so, it will make clear the reasons why Bitcoin Gold has been created, and BCH before it. Ultimately, all of these are new coins, but it's clear the people behind B2X are hoping to destroy and replace BTC. So there may be a *real* split, and a lot of fallout. That would explain why BCH had a recent pump, and why BTG have rushed to release their fork when it looks like they've been struggling to be ready in time.\n\nI wrote a post about it earlier.

But could that ever realistically happen in the real world?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And if they can't take the BTC symbol, then they do have the mining power to slow BTC to a halt, so they may be able to succeed in making B2x successful as a transactional currency, but without the symbol it's still a new coin. By far the vast majority of people still haven't even heard about Bitcoin, and if they have they will initially be interested in the original established brand, which is still BTC.</p>\n<p>I have to say the entire shambles is giving me the impression that the developers are spending far more time with computers than people, and forgetting about how normal people operate in that real world. This is far too complicated and confusing enough already, they seem to be going out of their way to make that worse.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The biggest motivation for these forks is transaction times, in the hope that people will start using BTC as a spending currency, and the current pricing is very much influenced by the assumption that it will eventually achieve mainstream adoption. But so far it's been mostly used for speculation and investment, which means people are mostly buying to hold, and not spend. And that's actually the most sensible strategy when it's growing so much so fast. But that also actually makes the transaction times kind of irrelevant. I realise many are trying, but the point is about mainstream adoption. And there are already loads of better alternatives for day to day spending anyway. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The original Nakomoto white paper made the analogy with gold, and in a way slowing the original BTC down could make it even more precious and gold like, and separate the two coins even more, making B2x even less likely to take it over and kill it off.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Ironically, this could also glaringly highlight the reasons Bitcoin Gold was created. So far the prevailing consensus seems to be dismissing it, but it might become more interesting when this all starts to play out.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

      "body": "I'm starting to notice that the name \"Bitcoin\" is being conflated a lot with \"cryptocurrency\" or \"blockchain\", but it's vital to be clear that they are really not the same thing. I think it's a good idea to pay more attention to wording, especially when involving bankers and government figures. \n\nI just read a post on cointelegraph: [Goldman Sachs Will Start Bank Money ‘Stampede’ Into Bitcoin: Ritholtz CEO]! (https://cointelegraph.com/news/goldman-sachs-will-start-bank-money-stampede-into-bitcoin-ritholtz-ceo) talking about Goldman Sachs planning to get into [it?] in Q3, 2018, but the actual quote said \"Crypto currency\". Very different meanings.\n\n[This article]! (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/11/blockchain-capital-founder-jamie-dimon-is-a-hypocrite-about-bitcoin.html) from CNBC (thanks to [jrcornel]!(https://steemit.com/@jrcornel) for the link) also talks about it in terms of the hypocrisy,  quoting Bart Stephens saying \"While Jamie Dimon was making those comments, I was an invited speaker at JP Morgan's offices in San Francisco to give a talk with other fund managers and clients of JP Morgan who are really curious about cryptocurrencies and the underlying blockchain technology\". But while he goes on to say there's \"a lot of hypocrisy going on with Jamie Dimon\", Stephens is essentially making the same implication, that they are one and the same. But calling \"Bitcoin\" a fraud has a very different meaning in that context. It very literally means Dimon & JP Morgan are interested in the technologies, but are rejecting the Bitcoin *version* of it. \n\nI got caught up in the hype like everyone else, fixating on the sensational \"fraud\" headline, and I hadn't actually watched any of the videos to hear his actual words, so I clicked on some of the related links. The reports all repeatedly conflated \"cryptocurrency\" and \"bitcoin\", and it was only when I watched the video from the above link that I found out that the first thing he does is very clearly separate Bitcoin from Blockchain technology. He then gave an explanation of what currencies are and how they are linked to government control. Whether you like it or not, he's not wrong about that. If you doubt that, try refusing to pay your taxes, or parking fines, in whatever currency your government demands, and see what happens if you refuse.\n\nUBS Switzerland made the same point here: [Crypto is Doomed to Low Demand... Unless You Pay Taxes With It]!(https://cointelegraph.com/news/ubs-crypto-is-doomed-to-low-demand-unless-you-pay-taxes-with-it).\n\nThe last thing I want to do is dampen the enthusiasm for these technologies, because I genuinely believe they do have real world-changing potential, but we need to be realistic about how that will work in the real world. Especially with increasingly militarised police forces that will turn up at your door and beat, taser, drag you off to prison, even shoot you if you refuse to comply with the rules of society that are in force. Taxes, parking fines, and the rest, are not paid with money backed by gold, they are backed by state violence, and this is really the point he was making. \n\nThe widespread responses within this space were highly emotive and criticised him of being scared of change, and all kinds of other really quite naive things, but I don't think that's the reality. I think he just lives in the real world. That's clearly indicated by the fact that he **IS** making the distinction between *Bitcoin* as an almost messianic brand, and the *Blockchain* technology underneath it.\n\nBut even if you're only interested in how Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies and your investments will be affected, the reason it's so important to be clear on the wording of comments from Dimon, Goldman Sachs, and others like them, is because it really has a very different meaning if they say they are getting into \"crypto\" but it gets reported as \"Bitcoin\", or if they are publicly criticising one while actively researching the other. The cynical response has been that it was just market manipulation — which I definitely don't discount as a possibility, and that's something worth bearing in mind — but even being more self-interested about it, what it really indicates is that the banks **ARE** pursuing these technologies, but they are also actively criticising the decentralised versions that are not controlled by governments. If you choose to make that a war between the banks and the revolution, you're basically taking your Bitcoins to a drone fight ( to paraphrase Jim Jeffries).\n\nIt's really important not to be naive about it when someone like Dimon says that governments will eventually shut it down, or that it will be forced underground. At the very least, it's probably wise to factor it in to your long term plans when buying and trading, and anticipating prices.",
