Litecoin and Vertcoin are more scarse.
Imagine what Nakamoto Satoshi would think of those forking clones charade.
No more limits, or so it seems.
All kinds of weird claims are being made inside the Bitcoin realm. If not for the blocksize limit Bitcoin would have been 10K by now. When I read that I can not help but laugh. BTC transactions would even be more expensive then they are now. It seems it is still not understood how blockchains like Bitcoin work. Bigger blocks won't solve the transaction price issue.
In the meantime the traditional financial realm is being pulled in by the big blocks parties. That does make me wonder what really is going on. Sidechains, that is the key to solutions, I think. Instead of creating all those forking clones. Bitcoin purists getting more fanatic by the day. It looks like it is becoming one big joke. Now what would Satoshi Nakamoto do?
Has it become a religion?
In Bitcoin we trust, well I do not. The original idea was great, innovation is good, but now with these forking clones, I start to doubt. There were only 21 million BTC ever to be mined. So any Bitcoin purist would reject any forking clone. Because it adds another 21 million Bitcoin with every clone! With a total of 4 clones in 2018 that adds up to 84 cloned Bitcoins.
Add that to the original Bitcoin dot org {BTC} one and there shall be a whooping grand total of... 105 million Bitcoin! Now if anybody can just clone the Bitcoin blockchain and claim the value of the already mined coins, who says that it stops at a 105 million?
Let there be 126 million!
You know I still have my idea for a forking clone, called Diamond Bitcoin. It is going to be D Bitcoin. Huge blocks 64MB, even blocktimes going to 1 minute. With Sidechain support. And difficulty unlock, if blocks take too long. It will be the winning Bitcoin. The toughest, the hardest. The Diamond version will win, nothing can beat it.
It is how Satoshi Nakamoto would have wanted it. So, who's with me? BCD will be the ticker, and the startprice will be 50K. It will be the number one right away on the cryptocurrency market. Nothing will ever be able to beat it. The toughest, hardest Bitcoin forking clone ever is made of Diamond! And it will be the first one to be completed with a total of 21 million. It will be the only one: D Bitcoin!
How is that more mad?
It can be done, yet another forking Bitcoin blockchain clone. But, if I would ask myself honestly if that would be a wise thing to do? No, I do doubt if Diamond Bitcoin would do good for the overall trust in Bitcoin and the whole of the Cryptos realm. Another 21 million would make a grand total of 126 million.
Somehow I doubt that this was what the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto had in mind by creating Bitcoin. Yet, as I do not consider myself a Bitcoin purist I frankly could not care less though. To me this is quite ironic actually to watch it all happen. People creating forking clones, adding 21 million Bitcoin with every new one, claiming they are the true followers of the idea of Satoshi Nakamoto. Yeah right, 105 million and counting...
Bring me more Vertcoin!
Imagine that, VTC becoming more rare than all those Bitcoins. Only 84 million, ASIC resistence mining algo, fast and cheap transactions, SegWit and soon with Stealth transactions. It could be Vertcoin in the future. No premine for that one. And still a bargain, now I want more of those rare and unique VTC!
Still, remember to only invest in cryotos what you are willing and able to lose. And your speculation might be as bad or as good as mine. In the meantime the Bitcoin charade is going to the next level. And the court's jesters already have spoken again. It's a hoot and a half. In the meantime I am looking out for the ones ready to take the lead, like Litecoin and especially Vertcoin. About time to get me some more of that...
Have a great one!
Only 105, or more, Bitcoin ever?
