Hi David:
I would like to congratulate you for such a dictionary! I do not have any idea about possible words missing in this dictionary. Does anyone think something is missing?
Seizing the opportunity, I would like to formulate an open question about halving, a topic which has not been explored too much in this forum. According to most definitions, the purpose of the reduction of mining rewards aims to slow down the speed of blockchain discovery, so that there is a carest of coins and Bitcoin value increases (deflates) and miners end up receiving paradoxically more money and therefore have a profitable occupation. Nevertheless, it involves two main risks. Firstly, it concentrates the mining activity into very few hands (oligopoly), since most inefficient miners cannot afford to spend the same resources for decreasing rewards. Secondly, since halving is not a gradual process, but an abrupt process, bitcoin value tends to vary enormously depending on the proximity of the halving moment, what makes Bitcoin somehow untrustable.
Do you think Halving is doing more harm or good to Blockchain expansion?
