Bitcoin Forum

I read somewhere that bitcoin is splitting up in 2 different chains?
Thats why the price is tanking to 50% of its marketcap.
Personally if bitcoin split up it will fail.
Time to get out boys and girls.
It was a fun little experiment.

 If the price goes to 50% of BTC's market cap, then were are going far beyond MOON! How would that be considered "tank"?

Wow! USD$22 BILLION per coin.  WHOO!!

 ...wait, do you have any proofs?

What the hell do you mean, personally if they spilt up it will fail? That makes no sense.

They aren't splitting. Does a photocopy of a piece of paper mean you ripped it in half? Now if you continue writing the story and your friend writes a different version of a story is that a split? Nope.. Duurrrr

 AND if you play your cards right, you can be the lead in both stories too ;)

Back to 1000-1500 range

U pro's even chart ?

 No but I read somewhere something about a chart.  I heard it's going to split in two when Bitcoin moons.

Bitcoin has died 140 times



Just talking your book.

There seems to be so many split scenarios these days. A lot of people are expressing ideas which are already irrational and funny. Personally, I don't really think there would be a split and if there would really be a necessary split then it will just be a confusion in a few days but things would slowly settle...in the end Bitcoin will win and we can all move on from all of these "split" shenanigans.

The Bitcoin community should have made a strong stand on this issue but since Bitcoin is a decentralized beast there is no person we can all look up to as a leader. It would have been better if there is one who can be the voice of Bitcoin.

Yes but only one will be supported.


Have you tried out a test from your own version?


Go out first and well just follow when the price is already skyrocketing and we decided to sell for taking out some decent profit.

As stated its the right time to profit and here only the luckiest will be gaining a big earning. Because the chain with majority of the market cap after splitting will make a big price increase.

let me translate it for you, maybe it helps understanding what OP means:
"I have sold my coins recently at $2200 and am now wishing and also desperately trying with this topic to see a much lower price so i can buy back what i've sold

here is a little more help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2020368.0 and this was posted yesterday meaning he sold at ~$2200

Actually the panic has been started and you can see the price falling right now and you cannot eliminate the little confusion to some holders since the downfall is pretty much alerting right now + their are articles about spliting of bitcoins where can contribute to its huge downfall. And maybe if this downfall continues this will hurt so much for those big bag holders since some of them will be force to sell their coins to avoid huge losses in the long run.

Hah, that's even more the reason to start buying. The lower it goes, the better for the long term for those who choose to buy in. Lower price means more buying allowance coming from fiat. Of course, it's still important not to invest more than you can afford to lose, but I do not see this fall being taken too seriously. I'm no day trader, but people who day trade might be looking to abuse this moment to strengthen their position on the market by making others panic-sell, as you mentioned.

Additionally, I see some of you above may have missed the thread that got stickied yesterday at the top of the forum by theymos. Make sure to read that and also the thread he links to in that thread if you want to be fully informed about what's going to be happening once August comes. Do not take it lightly.

Having a leader doesn't work. We tried that already, it's called democracy where we elect the government in good faith and they screw us up the bumhole. So now we are trying to leaderless way and frankly it's not too bad, I like it this way.

The terrible opinion of one of the users in this forum. The current state does make the bitcoin price decrease significantly, but the bitcoin will still exist. Not as you expected, too extreme to hear that botcoin will die forever. There are still many people who take advantage of bitcoin and currently bitcoin keeps trying to grow better.

ACtually all of them are fear of Segwit implementation and hard fork as in eth hard fork it went wrong and the price went 10 times down so they are thinking that the same will happen to bitcoin also.

I don't see this as the end though because several ends have a come but we are still standing which is a testimony that this will not be any difference the issue here is if things want to get better it needs to go worse and that's exactly what we have in our hands we all are complaining about the fees which led mostly to the activation of Segwit and the panic sets in, a lot of dumping around and massive withdrawals to offline wallets several releases have also not helped matters.

I don't believe in the separation of bitcoin. Can certainly cause problems, but it's not for long. The present situation reminds me of the compression spring. If you najratsya patience then we will become witnesses to the fact that the spring, in August or September to finish and we will see a huge jump up.

It just is bad news for creating panic in community Bitcoin on the world's and selling Bitcoin for whale buying a huge amount. When done, they will repeet the script say: "Not have split and Bitcoin is future, invest now for become to rich man" lol

If anything, we are already there

Right now Bitcoin price goes down and is already well below 2,100 dollars per coin (at least, at Bitfinex). And personally, I would be surprised if it doesn't go below the 2,000 dollar mark and stay above that figure in the coming days. I don't believe in the split myself, but if it should come about I'm with the OP here, that it will most likely mean the end of Bitcoin, and if not Bitcoin itself as a coin but certainly the end of the Bitcoin era. Anyway, it should still happen one day, so why not today or tomorrow?

That's how it started

That's how it ended

Not at all Man.Like a Roller coaster,Their will be a slight deviation.Either it will increase or decrease.But bitcoin is a stable currency.So it will never exit or get into ground like 1000-1500 $ and all.Due to July end process ,the price will reduce some how.But it will not reduce to 1000- 1500$ and all.After August 1,the price of bitcoin will double today's rate.

Well it will surely end nothing really last forever, but I think bitcoin would not end, I really think August 1 will only be another new beginning for bitcoin we could just say that the impending August 1 would make bitcoin even great, but yes this event will certainly make the price of bitcoin drop a big amount because of the panic and fear selling of other users, but bitcoin would not end their.

 The James Cameron movie "Titanic" netted over $2Billion at the box office.  I guess we'd better get working on the movie rights for "Bitcoin".  We'll have to monetize this behemoth another way!

Well well,

called the downfall hours before it happens, named a loser by other early investers.

Who is the loser now huh? x3 my coins very soon.

- Where you heard that? Don't say on reddit which is full of fake news/info.
- 50% of its marketcap? Read the charts it haven't dumped that much.
- Even if bitcoin will split up, the chain with majority support will continue to work great and same goes for its price.
- If you want than you can get out of bitcoins, whales will love to buy cheap coins from guys like you.

There is no bitcoin failure, if it is split, it remains as independent as any other currency, however, its value is undoubtedly reduced. That is the only thing that makes people worry.

The splitting of Bitcoin into two or more chains is not yet certain as of now and it does not mean that if a possible fork is there, it will happen, all are still waiting for a reliable source. The split may be unhealthy for Bitcoin but it does not mean that it will kill Bitcoin. This is just a scheme in order to intimidate some people and then sell their coins so that you can buy more at a lower price.

If bitcoin blockchain will be splitted into two than the one with stronger community will continue to grow, there is nothing like bitcoin will die after hardfork. You can take example of ETH hardfork for this.

Also if you look at how well LTC is performing after activation of segwit recently, you can imagine what will be bitcoin's price after august.  ;)

No it won't happen this has happened in past and that time also everyone told it is the end of bitcoin but i still see many people demanding bitcoins. The marketcap is falling so is the price but if you are a long term holder I'm sure the price will rise again don't lose hope bitcoin gas changed most of our lives and I'm sure it will conti ue to do so

And the funny thing is it has nothing to do with SegWit as such

I mean SegWit right now is pretty meaningless to Litecoin, there aren't even many SegWit transactions in their total number. Litecoin is doing well because people understand that if Bitcoin is going to bite the dust due to recent scaling controversies, Litecoin is already Bitcoin-ready, so to speak. But I agree that if SegWit gets successfully activated, we will likely see a huge green candle. But it sounds too good to be true somehow, that's why I'm heavily inclined to think that major miners will back off from their SegWit2x signaling at the last moment

Bitcoin increase speed performance so should be upgrade, it good for bitcoin future. After upgraded it will go to the moon. Im not worry about the price now.  8)

Dude! Who called you a loser?  Nobody in this thread.

This really isn't very professional fearmongering. I was expecting something a little more subtle than this myself.

Still, I have just started crying and soon I'll be walking into the see with my G string filled with rocks.

I won't sell though.

It started when the price was below $2,500 and with the news speculations coming out people tend to sell their bitcoins. Even for small time holders that holders 2-10 bitcoins, it's already a big hurt for most of us. Although I believe that there is a possibility that this storm will soon be calm down.

The price of bitcoin is not going down because of segwit but due to fear and uncertainty that what is going to happen after August 1. In the long term i don't think anything will happen to bitcoin. People will sell there bitcoin at a very low price and when after few weeks when everything will be normal and price will go back they will regret what they have done.

your nice experiment bitcoin already has a new kid named bitcoincash before bitcoincash was born bitcoin already has a foster child named litecoin etheriumcoin and altcoin not surprised bitcoin will have more children
