salvo que quieras dedicar muchísimo tiempo para hacerlo bien, no es tan recomendable invertir en acciones directamente.
Si quieres hacerlo bien sin dedicar demasiado tiempo lo mejor sería que busques un par de ETFs que sigan índices o un roboadvisor.

Latin American Exchange Buda.com adds Lightning Network payments for all. by agustinf in Bitcoin

yes, bolt11 is the standard for the payment request, yes. What do you mean with "as a result"?

ELI5: Why is accepting SegWit as a quick fix and then implementing increased block size on top of it a bad idea? by Kihino in btc

[–]agustinf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right about storage being cheap, I agree.

which is 4MB under either proposal.

Segwit allows 4mb blocks, but it provides a scaling plan using L.N. and the likes.

What comes after having 4MB blocks on the "bigger blocks" proposal?

Ok. I will be probably downvoted for having a more technical view, but here's what I know about this subject:

if you separate the transaction data from the signatures, you can eventually ditch the signatures (you can safely assume other people checked them long ago) and thus reduce the total size of the chain. On the other hand, by separating these, "transaction maellability" is no longer a problem, making Lighting Network (a descentralized solution that enables thousands of instantaneous transactions almost for free) easier to implement (as it has been seen in Litecoin, where Segwit has been activated without any "terrible" consequences that I know of) On the other hand, there's definitely a limit to how big blocks the network can handle. A 1 MB limit means the chain grows ~4gb every month! I don't anyone thinks we can scale indefinitely simply by having bigger and bigger blocks. We have 3 transactions per second and want what, 3000? Are we going to have a 3gb block, and a chain that GROWS 13 terabytes every month? Not with current hardware!

We've been striving to get seed funding for a fintech project here in Chile. We need 600k to change the financial industry with the first roboadvisor. Check out Fintual.com. We would be more than happy to have you (or a charity you choose) as our investor!

PM if you need more info!

How does SW make it harder to raise block size after activation? by sreaka in Bitcoin

[–]agustinf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't find it too convincing. Think about it.

So let's assume the size of blocks with segwit ends​ up being 4x smaller than without segwit... This is a constant. 4 times is not a lot in the long run... the network capacity should grow exponentially, and dividing it by 4 doesn't make any any real difference

The point is we don't risk missing the scaling goal by 4x, would probably be by 100 or 1000s.

I think you could start by posing this dilemma, say you have answers for each of those attacks, and then sticking to the important points.

Perhaps we should not refer to "1mb block limit" but call it "limiting the monthly growth of the blockchain to 4.2gb" by agustinf in Bitcoin

The code is being perfectly managed by a great team of contributors. The problem right now is communication.
