$1800 and hardly anyone invested. It would have been better to invest in 2009, but it will be worse not to invest today.

[mcbeanburger] 09/5/2017 11:40

still one more leg up from here imo.... the last one brings in the joe six pack

xmr pulled back sharply ... btc only $80 from 1800 pitchfork target. I'm sure everyone remembers silver sailing though pitchfork R1 ... parabolic blow offs are amazing runs up, till they crash.

[chinahere] 09/5/2017 09:24

$1700 now.

[tpaulbeaumont] 09/5/2017 06:19

Bitcoin hits $1,600 for the first time and one investor says it could rally to $4,000 in a few months... lol apart from last week when it hit $1600+

where are we gents?

what image hosting works on advfn nowadays?

[mcbeanburger] 08/5/2017 17:34

too right - only gone up about 40% since I suggested it. only in btc it hasn't moved.

oh of course.... you only look in btc, silly me

[spadman] 08/5/2017 17:28

Two things to note, ignore mcbean and dont buy zcash.

[random] 07/5/2017 20:32

runaway market conditions ... short at peril? buying puts, if it's possible, is not so crazy.

[mcbeanburger] 05/5/2017 17:07

6 or so days to may 11th.... probably will have head fakes but up (news will be positive imo) then massive down.

all imo

tv is full of BTC TA showing an approaching correction. Can only mean one thing ;-)

the only TA that seems to have called this run correctly has 1800 pitchfork resistance.

xmr going insane $27 + now

[tpaulbeaumont] 05/5/2017 14:33

lol! Some are born with a feeling of superiority, some achieve a feeling of superiority, and some have a feeling of superiority thrust upon them

[spadman] 05/5/2017 10:21

Poor old tpaulbeaumont... still sitting on the sidelines, procrastinating, watching, scoffing, the feeling of superiority diminishing day by day, hour by hour, tick by tick.

[tpaulbeaumont] 05/5/2017 08:57

lol i think its safe to say CommT has been spending his btc on silkroad :P

Oh this will be bigger than tulips, bigger than anything in the history of the planet. Can one imagine in far distant future some instrument that can be speculated on, intergalactically across the galaxy? Or across the universe? The concentration of wealth would be bigger well than the big bang.

....hold on. We now have a financial instrument that trades all hours globally, and accessible to all. All you need is a computer and bank details. This is the first time in history where all 7bn+ people on the planet can trade an instrument instantaneous without limit. This Everest could go so high - this will make 1929 look like a molehill..

no one really knows the potential of QB yet, but that was true of the world wide web in the 80s :)

[tpaulbeaumont] 05/5/2017 05:31

random - no, i would never have guessed you had researched the field. ive only read about progress, ibm and google have created software to harness the extreme hardware already to some small degree, theres numerous companies and universitys (not universes, to my knowledge) already using quantum technologies, china has a quantum satellite in orbit, there are quantum operating systems in use and commercial software due out next year, although youll have to splash out on some quantum hardware (min 32MB RAM etc) as no one in the field ive heard/read reccommends you can use a conventional pc :)

2245 is the tippy top of the rising wedge ... watch that lower trend line like a hawk! if the break occurs, I expect the kiss before there is even a chance of a new downtrend.

if the stock market is setting the example a break will just lead to another bull run.

[mcbeanburger] 04/5/2017 21:30

toping out for now...

lol did you add the 1625 level in today? ;o)

there's a thought experiment based on hashing ... suppose you have a quantum hashing engine. You give it a range, and it goes off and computes individual hashes in separate universes. Say at most one of these hashes represents a coin. Somehow this result needs to be read from the device, so each universe needs to be probed with multiple weak observations, with a finite time between weak observations, which becomes the bound on the speed of computation. Meanwhile there can be no decoherence ... so it is necessary that the computer uses a quantum error correcting code etc ... i.e. if one can be built, it's not necessarily faster than a classical computer. It still has a range bound search to do ...

compare this with the D-Wave. It's not clear it is a genuine quantum computer, rather it is using a statistical effect that, for a special class of problems, the result of the computation is likely to be similar in many universes, thus yielding a close approximation to the optimal solution. For hashing, this is useless, because the average answer is that the all but one number does not represent a coin, i.e. the probability of the D-Wave finding the hash block is almost zero.

... so try to get round this by making the weak observations faster ... then it becomes a strong observation and the wave function collapses ;-)

don't bother, it will only scare their backers ;-)

meanwhile I would love to read a paper on how the researchers plan to collate the results from multiple universes.

quantum error correcting codes are a step in the right direction, but appear to create new universes of tensor networks, rather than constructing a useful quantum computer.

the research is fascinating and sheds light on the nature of the universe, but offers no easy way of harnessing the parallelism.

OTOH there will be spin offs. Some level of quantum computing is already possible (weak observation of quantum systems, quantum encryption etc) ... they are not general purpose though.

As you might have guessed I do research in this field ;-)
