| The threat to Bitcoin that no one is talking about. Posted: 30 Nov 2020 02:04 PM PST There have been two trends related to Bitcoin that pose a serious security threat to Bitcoin's longevity:
To put it simply, the long-term security of Bitcoin protocol's depends on the value of transacting directly within the Bitcoin network. The lack of significant scalability of layer 1 along with trends that effectively reduces and diminishes the value of directly transacting in the network can be catastrophic in the long run. Every bitcoin that is externalized to Ethereum, Paypal and others is being indefinitely frozen in its native protocol. The remainder is being used more and more as a reserve asset and collateral. This is not good folks, and we cannot pretend it is not happening or that it is insignificant. Bitcoin's security economic incentives were not designed for it to be a reserve asset and have transactions externalized to other systems. Ultimately if this trend is to be reversed the network needs to scale at layer 1 and/or the utility value of transacting natively must increase - there are no tangible propositions to realize either in the foreseeable future. Another solution would be to change the consensus mechanism and/or monetary policy. Eventually something must give, but for now it is entirely up in the air. Edit: Just to clarify on the need to scale layer 1. Layer 2 solutions are scaling at a factor of layer 1, and a deficiency from the base layer can still cause severe bottlenecks that could potentially render secondary layers impractical.

| Bitcoin just set a new all time high on coinbase Posted: 01 Dec 2020 03:15 AM PST On 12/1/2020 at 6:09 EST, bitcoin broke the previous all time high at 19891.99 set on 12/16/2017. Where do you guys think bitcoin is going from here? I'm generally thinking over the next year bitcoin drifts to 1 trillion marketcap, which will be the next macro psychological resistance.

| If a new ATH won't even get BTC to the front page of reddit, what would? Posted: 30 Nov 2020 08:29 AM PST These last few months have been so good for crypto. The massive bull run, Microstrategy and PayPal entering the game, billionaires comparing it to gold, Arya freakin Stark started hodling, and now we even have a shiny new ATH to point to. Yet every time there is one of these events, I check r/all for mentions and see nothing. I get that these people don't need to understand cc to benefit from it, so long as institutions do, but I am not sure I see us getting there without at least btc memes making the front page. I also understand that many technical subs prevent themselves from being featured on r/all to limit brigading, and I have no idea if this sub is one of them. If so, I would disagree with the decision strongly. r/cc is the melting pot of the reddit cryptocurrency community, and the exact sub we would want interested outsiders to discover before digging into the more focused and technical subs. We even turned this sub into a weekend meme volcano, so I assume posts from here are capable of making the front page. Perhaps it is just the tribalism and downvote police holding us back? So honestly, what do you think it would even take at this point to make the mainstream notice enough to make the front page? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Just help,remember we all needed help when we first started Posted: 30 Nov 2020 11:47 AM PST Remember when you first started investing? You may have made a lot of mistakes.I personally did,some like buying a shilled coin without doing much research,buying from sources with high fees,investing in shitcoins You also may have not knew about things and concepts like DCA,FOMO,Bears/Bulls,whales,pump and dump,etc Just help others,even if dumb money may make us rich,we need this space to mature and people to be more informed about crypto if we want the market to hold the gains. Do not be mean,do not be sarcastic,do not be hateful,we have the informations about basic concepts,we do not have the secret to wealth.But we can help others.Let's make this a better place.
