Hello and welcome!

I am not sure what you want to achieve, hence I'll write some words in here.


Bitcoin is not only about pumping the price. Plus, if you have a magic idea to make a coin more expensive, I am sure that quite some altcoins would want to test  your idea (at least to get them worth more than nothing).


Actually every 2 weeks be blockchain difficulty is adjusting itself, so if at that point it's high and the blocks come too slow, it will be decreased automatically to stay in the "one block about every 10 minutes" area.

Plus, the difficulty is supposed to rise only if there are many new miners.
So please, tell more details (hopefully something clearer) about your idea because as it is:
* it makes little sense
* it is unclear what you will achieve technically
* it is unclear how you will achieve that technically


For now you said pretty much nothing, hence nothing to agree or disagree with.

If by increasing the difficulty and pumping the price you mean that fewer coins will be added in circulation and that would pump the price then you should know that we already have Bitcoin halvings that cut the block reward in half every four years which is already enough to keep the pace reasonably adjusted for coins coming into circulation. This is going to do more bad than good for Bitcoin and its network as a whole because price is a secondary aspect, the most important thing is the fluency of the network and how quickly transactions are getting confirmed.

If you are making Bitcoin transactions daily and having to wait for hours for them to get confirmed, you will be pissed off and you wouldn't care about the price anymore, I'm sure.


How is it worth it if it's going to slow down the network? Is it better to have $100k as the price and normal transaction confirmation times or $200k and a congested network? I would go with the former.


No offense, but I disagree with your vision.  

Making the block system more difficult could indeed increase scarcity, which might theoretically pump Bitcoin's price. However, it's important to consider the potential drawbacks as well. Slowing down the blockchain could affect its usability and scalability, both of which are crucial for widespread adoption. I don’t see this as a solution that would benefit Bitcoin's long-term growth, as it compromises its core principles.
