How are virtual currencies different in the world?

Well..perhaps the boom in bitcion is due to the below 'trickery' ....

More than one way to get over the 21 Million coin limit....


as an example of my confusion see below...(prev posted also on btc speculation thread)

I found SegWit2 on this price link below

https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/segwit2x

Is this just some action before the fork coming up this middle of November...ie speculation..tokens...whatever?

be damn wierd if that price of $1,006.67 held add that to (at this time) $6152.89 (btc core) and $441.83 (bitcoin cash) and $141.71 (btc gold)

Damn, that is $7743.10 BTC! (of many flavors).....this can't hold?

Sure makes things dang interesting.

I suppose there is more than one way to get over this 21 million coin limit...fork BTC Core.

Anyway....what I stumbled over.

... this looks increasingly like pie in the sky ....imho....could be interesting like a heart attack is interesting if it all was to consolidate in 1 fork (price wise) and leave
the others to die on the vine

I'm clueless what is going on..I post this as a head scratching example of WTF

Bitcoin is the most successful cryptocurrency in current market.
The market capital of all the cryptocurrencies is now 150 billion$.
Currently, the value of all the Bitcoin in the world is $41 billion.
Value of bitcoin is increasing much pace that no one has expected.
Due to its limited numbers and ever increasing demands, bitcoin has become more and more volatile.
This big difference in demand and supply is speculating its price. Due to its ever growing price more and more people are getting attracted towards it, creating more volatility.
Due to its unique features like decentralised, peer to peer, less transaction charges. less transaction time and unanimous identity etc it has become a widely acceptable currency.
Latest modern technology of mobile wallets and its continuous improvement may be one of the reason of Boom in bitcoins.
But we must always remember one thing Whatever goes up has to come down.....

we now aware what is bitcoin the coriousty become interested people continue to reseach about bitcoin the popularity of bitcoin totally boom in the year here in my country bitcoin are already popular i watch bitcoin in the news in the local channel.

All credits should be given to the investors who had so much hope in bitcoin, despite threats of banning it, they sticked with it and invested more of their money in it and made it what it is today.

Because of bitcoin is getting popular day by day. I think now more and more prople are knowing about bitcoin and they would like to investment with bitcoin and so the price of bitcoin is pumping day by day

The boom as i see it has been caused by 2 things :

1. Speculation and trading volumes - The volatility makes it a perfect hunting ground for traders and much of the daily volume is attributed to such activities. The more people looking to make a quick buck the more volume hits the system and ultimately the price moves upwards.
2. Investors looking for asset diversification - With equity markets at all time highs and interest rates so low, investors are looking for ways to hedge for the inevitable market correction. Bonds are not as attractive as they used to be and everyone already has a fair allocation of gold in their portfolios. Hence, investors are piling into BTC and other alternative investments in an attempt to diversify themselves even further

It is now widely accepted that due to lack of speed and transaction cost, BTC as a payment processing tool is sub optimal.  I do not believe that the boom is linked to BTC being used as a payment system but rather linked very much so to speculation in the above 2 segments.

i think it depends upon different things for example right now there are speculation of the amazon adobting it. if this happen it will be very great for the bitcoin and as well as the investors of bitcoin because it will make it rise its price and in the end beneficial will be investors and traders.
hope so it will

There are also governments who want to regulate all the finance market. They the discontinued producing the 500 € note and want to get more power in this cases. So a alternative currency is needed, a currency not to be followed.
Also the growing of the BTC which had to reach a size to be seen.

It's unique characteristics made it boom. The fact that its easy to use and most people is on internet right now.
