wow great post! I haven't been a fan of any of the previous forks but I love the idea behind BTCP. Privacy to me is the most important feature in the crypto market and BTCP is the first bitcoin that carries the feature. Finally a bitcoin fork I can invest in. The quality of the white paper, the wallet, the whole project is very well done. I like how you can choose to send private or not, it's very easy to use.

Yes, they are unique in that sense. It's basically a hostile takeover by a much superior technology. (Not a bad thing)

Thanks for this detailed article! I appreciate the insights into Bitcoin Private! Thanks for your hard work and I’ll keep any eye out on the privacy market moving forward!

Thanks for the support Brett! My startup Rake is domiciled in NV, hoping to come out to the west coast later this year.

Awesome post found it from Rhett Creighton's tweet. BitcoinPrivate to the Moon. Claimed mine with the electrum wallet today, was a very easy process. Followed, resteemed, and upvoted.

HODL ON!

Yup, i plan to buy more if it dips after it starts trading.

Great post thanks for this valuable information! Just resteemed of course.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Hello, nice post. how does one buy btcp and what will be the cost of one coin?

We don't know the price of the coin yet, it will be a few weeks before exchanges will list it. To buy it I would watch the exchanges for announcements about adding it.

ok thanks any idea which exchanges might list it?

TradeSatoshi and HiBTC have officially announced listing it ASAP.

I know the dev team is pushing it to be listed on as many exchanges as possible. Within a few months it will probably be on5-6 exchanges.

No buy btcp ist shitcoin. Team zcl pump and claim btc.

This is a very good overview of the bitcoin fork.
I just hope that this will bring the price back up

Thanks, it could go either way. Something like this is a 1+ year hold. Because there's more BTC than ZCL, Bitcoin whales can sell it off to buy more BTC and at same time try to kill the competition to their investments in BTC. Even if the price crashes it will come back.

Your right it is case of don't panic. Just buy and hold

In a couple weeks I have a special meme I will be releasing just for this HODL :)

I love memes they just tell it the way it is

Bitcoin Private has really been trending lately.
This Launch I would say is very timely with the trend towards privacy coins

The team probably factored in a few things when timing everything. After the brief dip in prices they did delay it some, but probably to launch when everything want dropping.
Privacy coins don't only serve as a means to hide something. There is a big difference between this and say Monero for example. The way in which privacy is accomplished with zk-SNARKs makes it's usefulness go beyond just trying to hide transactions.

In the future I think that privacy of a coin will not be used to hide things instead just an option for design of the cryptocurrency. For certain things you don't want privacy as it will cause more problems. For other things you will want privacy, it just depends.

Kudos to you sir for a wonderful information passed out here!
Everyone are talking about bitcoin, when will it rise again. I think in my own opinion, bitcoin depreciated because of those of us who have not really joined the trail! Lols.....

Some time ago, I wanted to invest in bitcoin but the money to start was VERY HIGH but now, with the little I have been able to gather from steemit, I think its high time for me to delve into it before its too late for me.

Thank you very much sir for this incitive sharing.
Do have a lovely weekend and a happy steering!

Thanks for the comment. I would recommend investing in utility coins for most people who are new. They are normally safer than things like Bitcoin or even Bitcoin Private.

Tnx for your reply sir. How do I go about this, do you have a link that would direct me to register?

You will need to research them and then find the exchange they are on. Keep an eye on my posts as I will talk mostly about utility coins. Bitcoin Private isn't really a utility coin. I will try to put something together for you.

Spectre.ai- U (utility), and Spectre.ai-D &Populous ( for passive income) are good in my book, what do you think of these?

Spectre is very interesting and on my radar, but its highly speculative, imo. It doesn't have the technical mix within the team that makes me feel their vision can be built in a self sustaining way.
I am a HUGE Populous fan, but you want to keep a close eye on it. That market is huge and unless he can scale rapidly. Keep in mind the industry he is in is full of sharks and they will sit, wait, and let someone else make the market. Once someone else has done it they will swoop in and try to take it over. Populous is at a big disadvantage in terms of branding and relationships that the big players will have. I personally don't want that to happen, but its a cut throat industry. If they manage to find a way to go after market segments in parts of the world where they don't currently exist they will have a better chance to survive.

Though if they make it through all of that their biggest challenge will be data points. After about 12 to 18 months we will start seeing more crypto focused on collecting more data or allowing users to monetize more data. When that happens, technical know how combined with some solid math skills will win out.
Basically, Spectre is general observe for me and Populous is an invest, but keep a close eye on everything around it.

Excellent comment, sorry I didnt see it sooner.. I agree with all of what you said. Thanks for the reply!

Informative post sir

I jsut posted something about Zclassic. Trading opportunity? https://steemit.com/trading/@akinnfenwa/buy-the-dip-zclassic

If your looking at it from a trading opportunity where you can make money in the short term, then yes there will definitely be multiple trading opportunities. JUST BE VERY CAREFUL because it may be pumped and dumped now that its less active. Also, I don't think it is unrealistic to go back to $2 or even lower. Remember, most of the future potential for this coin is based on other people forking it which will make the price spike. I didn't sell all my ZCL, well not exactly.

I sold my ZCL immediately after snapshot. Then, I waited for the arbitrage to have some time to start happening. Then, I would buy back in. Wait an 30 minutes to an hour, then sell again. This allowed me to have more ZCL to HODL, than what I started with and wait for the next pump.

I personally wouldn't by at the current price, I would only consider it if it was $2 or less. Though I think it is possible to buy now and then wait for a pump to sell.

Hello, nice post. how does one buy btcp and what will be the cost of one coin?

Currently (3/4/18), I don't see any exchanges that have it listed. I think it will be about 1-2 weeks before its listed on any exchanges.

Many people who held ZCL sold it for between $20 and $50. Many of those people I have a feeling will take that money and buy more BTCP. If they do that, then the price might go up early, maybe too high. It might come back down when Bitcoin and the other bigger alts start going back up in the next few months.

At the same time it might just go up and not stop, I don't know. My plan for getting more of it is to wait and see if it drops a lot after a month or two when Bitcoin starts rising again. Many people will sell things like BTCP to make money from BTC going over $20K again.

NOTE: I saw some stuff yesterday about a price of $230 from a mining pool, but I have no idea where they got that number from because its not listed on any exchanges.

ok thanks for your help

I wanted to let you know that your article is the best one that I have read about Bitcoin Private. I have mine! It seems like there is a lot of enthusiasm for this coin, but of course owners are always going to be enthusiastic.
I think we are all anxiously awaiting the release on Binance because that will show what it's worth. Lot's of people say they will hold until it hits $1000. I think that is within the realm of possibility in the next few months.
I will be following you to keep abreast of more interesting content.

I appreciate it, will do my best to keep posting solid stuff. The short term is really unpredictable for BTCP, there is a lot going on and it may be 1+ year before we see big gains. If they can position themselves to be in a good place when sapling comes out and update BTCP with it ASAP they will be in good shape.
There could be a lot of FUD in the short term with BTCP that may slow it down. Also ZCash may get a lot of attention in June for Overwinter which is preparing for the Sapling update. Just gotta sit tight and buy more of it if it dips in the short term.

When I first saw bitcoin there where two things that I want to see in a fork. ASIC resistance for GPU mining (I have been mining bitcoin gold with my GTX 1080) and privacy. BTCP checks both boxes with the 2MB block and 2.5 minute block time being icing on the cake. If all the bitcoin forks and bitcoin core were in a classroom and the teacher asked "will the real bitcoin please stand up" bitcoin private would be the only one that should stand.

I agree without completely.

Just keep in mind though, ASIC resistance is up to the development team. There is no such thing technically as ASIC resistance. ASIC resistance is about the project being willing to hard fork the algorithm in the event of an ASIC being developed.

For example if BTCP were to go flying and start crossing $1,000 to $2,000 with a real chance of it replacing Bitcoin, then you will have ASIC's for equihash too. At which point ZCash would need to change their proofing algo for BTCP to remain ASIC resistant.

An ASIC can be developed for just about anything. It is just a computer that has a single purpose and it is very efficient at doing that one thing. The problem is when things get memory intensive, designing an ASIC becomes very expensive. If the coin can be sold for a high enough amount then they will spend the resources to make an ASIC for something.
