Bitcoin Forum

With the problem at hand, there are many users that panicked and letting go now there BTC that they hold. They are saying that there will be a new altcoin after the BU is implemented, which is the BTU.
There are many users now that are saying BTC but, for you, what is the meaning of your BTC, is it Bitcoin Core, supporting the usual bitcoin that we know and agaisnt BU, or just simply Bitcoin. Why?

What is this bitcoin unlimited anyways? :-[
Is it a new alt coin or just something to scare people away from their btc and buy into those instead?
It seems pretty far fetched if you ask me.

Pretty much. It's a power grab.

If you want bigger blocks, write a fucking proper implementation. Why in the fuck would you make one that can't receive patches from upstream because you "moved around code" you don't understand. Why the fuck would you try reinvent the wheel just so you don't have to use stuff coded by the "blockstreamcore banking cartel". Why the fuck do you disable pretty much all safety/security features built into Core, because you can't figure out how it works. The story of BU would be a good plot for a comedy movie.

Bitcoin Unlimited is another solution to the problems of bitcoin. Mostly they will take the power of miners because they will remove the confirmations of the miners so we can make the transactions fast and cheap. Well that is what I understand. They are not that bad, but they are also concern about bitcoin, Roger Ver one of the big names when you say bitcoin, supports for Bitcoin Unlimited because they want to make bitcoin a popular digital currency known by many people and also used it as a Coffee money.

I dont think they are not trying to "reinvent" the wheel, more likely, they are trying to invent another wheel, which is somewhat connected to the other wheel, which is the original wheel. They are trying these fork to bitcoin because bitcoin is their passion and they almost put their money in these digital currency.

there are only 2 groups of people around
- those newbies who panicked by hearing the words Split and all the other FUD who sold their coins in the early days (they are not selling the are out) and price went down in the start and now it is back up and whales are accumulating again.
- those who are dragging ass and spamming all over the forum about BU, SW and nothing has changed the same arguments that were going on from 2 years are still happening and bitcoin is still bitcoin as it was before.

which is why i don't get why used present tense about people letting go and BU emerging!

BU being implemented?
Not gonna happen BU loses it's support from the miners after another node attack from their network.
And F2pool one of the largest miners inc said that they will not support BU anymore.

Well, that is a good comment about the "wheel" and I partly agree about the fact that BU is not reinventing the wheel but creating a new one that is why the split. Whatever can be the final fork or the solution, I am sure the original wheel can be the real winner just like what happened to Ethereum. Anyway, am just a small BTC holder and am not that techie-oriented so my opinion may not matter that much. :)

For me its bitcoin core, bitcoin unlimited is just another bitcoin clone that is trying to build support and add inflation on bitcoin with their wallet full of bugs and incompetent devs behind the project.

We don't need two bitcoin.

We want both BTU and BTC , Bitcoin core members are resetting change and this happens in every economy .
People resist change but this is what is important for bitcoin's future

Talking about altcoins just make anti-Bitcoin people gain support and traction...


Correct.


Regarding this thread, there has been a more comprehensive poll already: here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1831433.0)

If it's unlimited it isn't going to have much value. Stick with the stability of the core, rather than get burnt by the lava and ash that is flowing round it. :)

BTC already is Bitcoin Core, that's the current development team and SegWit would just be a new update for Bitcoin if the miners signal support for it.

BU doesn't matter, it might go through and then collapse or whatever but it won't succeed.  If I were rich, I would buy loads of BU coin tokens at their low price and dump them right when the hard fork happens, and I can see some major Core supporters doing that (and if it didn't go through you could always sell it back to BTC).

BU is another blockchain which offers bigger block size and it supports the miners and also transactions are faster in it. If it got implement, we will have two streams of bitcoins, BTC and BTU. It will split bitcoins into two.  :(
