Title: Will you sell your BitcoinABC or hold on to it?
Post by: adaseb on July 17, 2017, 09:47:45 PM
If BitcoinABC gains some very small traction lets say it hits an exchange at $100 BCC/USD, would you sell your BCC or hold on to it for the future incase it overtakes the Bitcoin Core ?

I think we all sold our ETC when it magically appeared on Poloniex and we basically considered it as winning the lottery since we still got to keep our ETH and the ETC was a free bonus. However we all sold it very cheap and if we were patient then we would of gotten almost the same value as ETH during the split ($15 ETH/USD).

So lets say we sell our BCC very cheap. And then in 2-3 years, after all the bugs get sorted it it eventually overtakes BTC. And when it overtakes BTC might become lower than BCC.

Another issue with this is the BTC payments we receive AFTER the fork. Lets say we decide to hold BCC. But any payment we get after the fork, we will only get it on the main Bitcoin Core chain.

Then in 2-3 years, when BCC over takes BTC, we won't have the difference in BCC since it happened after the work.

EDIT:

You can sell your BCC coins now actually

I believe we should wait before deciding what to do. Hardfork can be problematic which would make our legacy coins worth more. I see no guilt behind legacy coins that is why they can not be easily seen as worthless. By Ethereum there were issues before hardfork which made to sell ETC's not so stupid. Legacy Bitcoins have no such bad reputation and it would be definitely logical to keep it since ETC was also not as bearish as peoples prejudices.

Did Bitcoin Classic and Bitcoin XT surged in price already? Or achieved anything significant? Obviously no, and since ABC, Segwit2X, BU all have weak developers, those forks aren't going to succeed. Your comparison with ETH/ETC is entirely wrong, as the price of ETC increased as a part of altcoin bubble, it has showed 200-300% growth since Auguest, but ETH increased up to 600% in that time, so it's obvious now that it was better to sell ETC and buy ETH. Besides, it's wrong to extrapolate the outcomes of forks on other coins into Bitcoin, every situation is unique and has it's own driving forces.

I'll be dumping my BTC alternative within a week or so. I don't believe this fork will overtake Bitcoin Core. Core is the norm - a bit like Google. Core has so much media coverage and with it being the go-to crypto, I just can't see 01/08/2017 being its death.

If there will be a split, did ETC miners change anything after the fork? but now they don't want to stay with the same version/code they want to fork with their own code, did you know if a hostile party ever wanted to damage bitcoin they would do the same thing as Wu? how do we know he's not working for some government to damage bitcoin? if the majority forks and the minority stays with the smaller chain without any code changing then I'd keep that kind of coin.

I think the best option is to watch and observe, when the bitcoinabc appears we still don't know what will be the potential and then the price is also low, so you will only get extra few dollars, but when you hold it who knows in the future it can be expensive, you won't lost anything by holding it for a while

If the aim of Bitcoin ABC is to restore the unlimited block size as it was in the original Satoshi Nakamoto design then yes I'd want some. That's what I thought I was buying in 2014 but back then I wasn't aware of the 2011 1Mb change that created this current artificial scarcity :|

Don't try to pull a fast one with a premining scam. Don't try to charge extra transaction fees on top of coin rewards for miners. Any sign of exploitation and I won't touch it with a bargepole. I suspect many others like me that is, not miner dev or short term speculator, think the same.

Bitcoin dark/ unlimited/ bitcoin plus/ bitcoin xt now bitcoin cash, they all are the same sh*t, I wonder if they have implemented something much more efficient and stronger than ASICboost this time on bitcoin cash code to mine everything instead of 30% of blocks?
So you guys decided to fork away with your altcoin? looks good on you. then be prepared for a few brand new bitcoins, if it's about the code then we could start another bitcoin but with a different name of course.
Satoshi provided the idea, he didn't invest money on it, his vision is not relevant to people invested millions of dollars.

Hold onto it! BitcoinABC known as Bitcoin Cash IS Satoshi's vision to me. It is the real bitcoin I signed up for.

Usual shill, how'd you know if he wanted you to steal his ideas and change whatever makes you more profit in his code and lie about it being his vision?
If bitcoin cash is going to be a success then so as a new copy of bitcoin with 8MB block size and any improved feature minus the ASICboost you idiots.

It really depends on how the players respond to what will happen after the 1st of August, I would prefer that would be a reference in cryptocurrency transactions, whether bitcoinABC, BTU, BBC or any other name of the new bitcoin.

we will see a repeat of the eth/etc situation. one fork will remain dominant; the other fork will fall to a fraction of the price after a slow ride down. there is too much going on in all of this; the opportunity is being seized by too many camps to push a reinterpretation of bitcoin. core, despite if I agree with all its decisions, is a result of the democracy we have all decided to participate in, up to this point. also from a legal standpoint; it would seem that core was the specific asset people added to portfolios and iras. if this value splits, who get the additional value? same for exchanges. they will make a mint overnight, simply because the average investor in this space has absolutely no saavy :( and believe they will liquidate this new found wealth; this will contribute to the non dominate chain dropping even faster.

if you someday split bitcoin i will probably stop using it completely. because i simply believe that bitcoin is the reliable cryptocurrency as long as it is one chain and things like consensus mean something in it. and a split only happens when there is no consensus hence bitcoin would no longer be reliable in my opinion.

Bitcoin Cash (BCC) is a proposed altcoin through UAHF. I just came to know about this ABC coin, in my previous post I had asked would there be an UAHF in August, there won't be a UAHF because segwit will get activated before then.

And now on this thread, hypothetical talks of selling Bitcoin ABC or holding on to it. Too much FUD.

I would rather hold on to all that I have for so long until I am sure it is safe to spend. I don't want to start having the feelings of 'had I known'. Ater that anyway, I may still hold on probably it could have some tangible value later on, or worst exchange it for another prospectful altcoin. All decisions are dependent on what the future ends up being like.

If we would really come into this point then i would do nothing at all and just let those things happen.This would already depend on a certain person if they would really treat is as a bonus on their holdings and sold their BCC and would stick to Core. People have different decisions and usage on their coins so the answer of this question would really be different.

It would be interesting if they actually fork, although, I don't believe they'll do it, most likely scenario if they do it is they lose a lot of money because nobody will use their chain.

The latest proposed version of the fork — bitcoin ABC. "ABC" means "Adjustable block size", which means that users can determine the necessary size of the block of bitcoin. This feature will be available as miners and users. However, this can cause problems for users with slow Internet connection.

I disagree. ETH was/is innovative. A segwit BTC or 2MB BTC is still pretty much BTC, no innovation. If a fork happens, either the altcoin will win quickly and become the new BTC, or it will die out. People wont care for another BTC derivative.

True. And as for me, for now, it is much better if you will hold your bitcoins and wait until what will happen after August 1st because most probably, from what I have read from the discussions, bitcoin's price will get high compared to its price at present resulting for the bitcoin holders to gain more profit.

If BitcoinABC gains some very small traction lets say it hits an exchange at $100 BCC/USD, would you sell your BCC or hold on to it for the future incase it overtakes the Bitcoin Core ?

I think we all sold our ETC when it magically appeared on Poloniex and we basically considered it as winning the lottery since we still got to keep our ETH and the ETC was a free bonus. However we all sold it very cheap and if we were patient then we would of gotten almost the same value as ETH during the split ($15 ETH/USD).

So lets say we sell our BCC very cheap. And then in 2-3 years, after all the bugs get sorted it it eventually overtakes BTC. And when it overtakes BTC might become lower than BCC.

Another issue with this is the BTC payments we receive AFTER the fork. Lets say we decide to hold BCC. But any payment we get after the fork, we will only get it on the main Bitcoin Core chain.

Then in 2-3 years, when BCC over takes BTC, we won't have the difference in BCC since it happened after the work.



This depends on the current decision, if you keep the bitcoin and wait for the division, I'm sure you believe it, whether it passes bitcoin core or just a small coin, it is still affected by your initial decision.

The decision to be taken depends on what will happen after August 1st. All set by large users who play in the market to determine the right choice and influence where other users will follow.

Agreed.

I think Bitcoin still has a chance to lead if more serious consideration is given to it's governance, the current situation with 'Core' is undesirable. IMO after the shenanigans we have witnessed the existing 'Core' team should be taken out of the loop. A new development team should be formed and placed under the strict supervision and control of an independent group of user representatives (users being exchanges, merchants, miners, client applications users, etc.)

Hold onto it! BitcoinABC known as Bitcoin Cash IS Satoshi's vision to me. It is the real bitcoin I signed up for.

http://www.bitcoincash.org

It's the "real" bitcoin and Satoshi's vision.

Was it Satoshis vision for Bitcoin to be centralised by only people who can afford ridiculous hardware to run nodes on?

These people such as Mcafee, Wright, Ver? All trustworthy folk  ;D

from satoshi
Quote
Long before the network gets anywhere near as large as that, it would be safe for users to use Simplified Payment Verification (section 8) to check for double spending, which only requires having the chain of block headers, or about 12KB per day. Only people trying to create new coins would need to run network nodes. At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to specialists with server farms of specialized hardware. A server farm would only need to have one node on the network and the rest of the LAN connects with that one node.

Yes, it was satoshi's vision that as the network grows, it would be expensive to run a mining node.  that doesn't mean it is centralized at all.  most users do not need to run a full node.

If you run a node you will now need 4 times more storage space, can you afford it ?

Among all the stupid reasons to be against bigblocks, this has got to be the stupidest.

Storage is currently two-and-a-half US cents per GB.

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-cost-per-gigabyte/ (https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-cost-per-gigabyte/)

BCC might have a rough initial period due to limited mining support. But if it can make it through its infancy, it will likely become dominant. The ability to accommodate transaction demand make it a long-term winner over cripplecoin.

bring on the split.  as long as there's a big block version of bitcoin, then it is ensured that at least one version of bitcoin can be used as p2p electronic cash.  the other chain can be as competitive or feeble as it wants.

There are also bandwidth consideration. I have more than 250TB of storage space at home, but limited bandwidth. My Bitcoin Core wallet has crashed for some reason (PC is extremely stable, with ECC memory) and it doesn't manage to recover.

If BitcoinABC gains some very small traction lets say it hits an exchange at $100 BCC/USD, would you sell your BCC or hold on to it for the future incase it overtakes the Bitcoin Core ?

I think we all sold our ETC when it magically appeared on Poloniex and we basically considered it as winning the lottery since we still got to keep our ETH and the ETC was a free bonus. However we all sold it very cheap and if we were patient then we would of gotten almost the same value as ETH during the split ($15 ETH/USD).

So lets say we sell our BCC very cheap. And then in 2-3 years, after all the bugs get sorted it it eventually overtakes BTC. And when it overtakes BTC might become lower than BCC.

Another issue with this is the BTC payments we receive AFTER the fork. Lets say we decide to hold BCC. But any payment we get after the fork, we will only get it on the main Bitcoin Core chain.

Then in 2-3 years, when BCC over takes BTC, we won't have the difference in BCC since it happened after the work.



If there is a chain split do you own both coins?

My first questionis the name decided after a split it will be named as BitcoinABC (BCC)

No. The most prevalent opinion is that after the split, the bigblock chain will be known as Bitcoin Cash. BitcoinABC is just one of the clients that will operate on this chain. As will Bitcoin Unlimited, and likely Classic, XT, and others.

That is until it becomes majority chain. Which may happen within a half year - due to increased utility over 'that other' chain. At which point, it would be likely that the bigblock chain will become known as simply Bitcoin. And the crippled chain will need to choose a new name for itself.

Of course, this assumes that Bitcoin Cash makes it through its infancy. It will likely start out with minority support. Thereby less incentive to mine. But with (relatively) unlimited transaction capacity, it can accommodate transaction demand that S2 cannot. Thereby making Bitcoin (Cash) once again attractive for all the use cases (e.g., retail purchases) that core drove away. More utility -> more use -> more velocity -> more demand -> rising price -> incentive to mine -> more security -> more utility.

You'd have to ask them. I am unaware of any valid poll ever conducted on the matter.

Though lacking data, I personally am convinced that so few people run a node (I assume you mean a fully-validating, non-mining wallet?) because they have no incentive to do so.

I run a fully-validating, non-mining wallet because I value the ability to transact directly onchain. I guess most Bitcoiners don't give a shit about the ability to do so.

Then again, maybe more people that we have thought realize the falseness of the dogma that such non-mining, fully-validating wallets provide some sort of benefit to the network itself.

Did Bitcoin Classic and Bitcoin XT surged in price already? Or achieved anything significant? Obviously no, and since ABC, Segwit2X, BU all have weak developers, those forks aren't going to succeed. Your comparison with ETH/ETC is entirely wrong, as the price of ETC increased as a part of altcoin bubble, it has showed 200-300% growth since Auguest, but ETH increased up to 600% in that time, so it's obvious now that it was better to sell ETC and buy ETH. Besides, it's wrong to extrapolate the outcomes of forks on other coins into Bitcoin, every situation is unique and has it's own driving forces.

Also Bitcoin shouldn't be compared to any other alt coins. This actually depends on how people will adapt it and who gains more popularity as time goes by since it hasn't happened yet and we are unsure if it will happen. We can judge it base on how scalable it is and the capabilities that each Bitcoin can present.

Theoretically I would hold and you will probably judge the altcoin or rather split coin by their respective developers team and roadmap. If BTU, BTABC, BCC or whatever is not just there to confuse investors or for purely speculating, I probably would have second thought on selling. I think even up till today, it's still hard to actually determine if ETC is actually really an ongoing serious project or just "another" ether coin out there.

I personally don't trust viabtc neither. I don't trust any exchage but the exchange which proposes its own alt by splitting bitcoin? Hell no. Can't leave my precious bitcoins hostage there for 9 days... Too risky.

If you are going to dump, wait for more legit exchanges to list bcc, those who  don't ask id confirmations.

Why should bitcoin not be used to pay? After all, one of the biggest drives comes from exchanges, which in a sense gave so much value (being the Currency vs the Asset) to bitcoin as default escape and conduit, but when talking about trillions of trade, we get this sh****** coin that takes 30 mins to hours to validate a transaction. Off-chain/side-chains = none of the benefits of the original bitcoin vision and no value whatsoever in a world that will be filled with micro transactions.

IMO, Bitcoin's main strength (compared to Dash, Ethereum, etc) is that it's chain with the biggest hashrate, and thus, the hardest to double-spend against.

This is an especially real risk when we start talking about ideological hardforks. When Ethereum Classic happened, one ideological ETH-loyal miner made public threats to use his hashpower to double-spend on ETC and render it useless; it was only an influx of ETC hashpower that stopped him.

So for BCC, BitcoinABC, etc to be useful, they need to win over a significant % of BTC's current hashpower.

Do you consider that likely, when the /NYA/ presents a less risky road to increased blocksize?

Edit: I just realized I didn't answer the original question.

Long story made short, I don't think I'll have the chance to sell my BitcoinABC, because I don't think there will be a market for it.

If there is a market, I'll probably sell most of it. Not all - might as well hedge a little. But most.

it's the pet of jihan wu. he probably controls over 50% of the hash rate.

i don't think he's dim enough to attack the original chain or go all in with this new one, but i believe he could if he wanted to.

Ahhhh. Yeah, if some of Antpool's hashpower hops on, then the chances of it existing for long enough to unload some coin are a lot better than I was thinking.

Still, he'd have to commit pretty significantly to the project. Otherwise, if his name is on it, the project is vulnerable to any other big miner that dislikes him enough (and after the contentious year we've had, I imagine there's a few).

It s in essence a new alt with a huge premine. So why would I hold it again?

I would hold and sell my bitcoin. I would hold it because I want to gain profit with the rise of the bitcoin price. And I want to sell it because if the bitcoin price grows higher, I will gain much money. In addition, I want to sell because I am in need of money and no matter how the bitcoin price is high, I will sell it to get money.

Well, I would gladly do so too, but the OP is not asking about the Bitcoin that you originally know but the BCC or the bitcoin that came from the network splitting.

I think I will not hold my BCC if I will be receiving those because I don't have any interest with that coins. I will be just selling them and convert them into bitcoin.

That is a good suggestion, i think many people will hold it too but not necessarily it will be like bitcoin and price will not be more than bitcoin price

If you run a node you will now need 4 times more storage space, can you afford it ?
Among all the stupid reasons to be against bigblocks, this has got to be the stupidest.

Then why are so few people running a full node ?

There are also bandwidth consideration. I have more than 250TB of storage space at home, but limited bandwidth. My Bitcoin Core wallet has crashed for some reason (PC is extremely stable, with ECC memory) and it doesn't manage to recover. It took me weeks to download the blockchain, I'm not ready to do it again.

my bitcoin client used to crash often ... then I change my HD to SSD and it become much more stable ...
I think it is about the I/O Bottleneck gap ...

It came to my mind while reading an article at ACM

Quote
"Processing power is in fact so far ahead of disk latencies that prefetching has to work multiple blocks ahead to keep the processor supplied with data. [...] Fortunately, modern machines have sufficient spare cycles to support more computationally demanding predictors than anyone has yet proposed."—Papathanasiou and Scott,10 2005

That disks are cheap and slow, while CPUs are expensive and fast, has been drilled into developers for years. Indeed, undergraduate textbooks, such as Bryant and O'Hallaron's Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective,3 emphasize the consequences of hierarchical memory and the importance for novice developers to understand its impact on their programs. Perhaps less pedantically, Jeff Dean's "Numbers that everyone should know"7 emphasizes the painful latencies involved with all forms of I/O. For years, the consistent message to developers has been that good performance is guaranteed by keeping the working set of an application small enough to fit into RAM, and ideally into processor caches. If it isn't that small, we are in trouble.

Indeed, while durable storage has always been slow relative to the CPU, this "I/O gap" actually widened yearly throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.10 Processors improved at a steady pace, but the performance of mechanical drives remained unchanged, held hostage by the physics of rotational velocity and seek times. For decades, the I/O gap has been the mother of invention for a plethora of creative schemes to avoid the wasteful, processor-idling agony of blocking I/O.

Caching has always been—and still is—the most common antidote to the abysmal performance of higher-capacity, persistent storage. In current systems, caching extends across all layers: processors transparently cache the contents of RAM; operating systems cache entire disk sectors in internal buffer caches; and application-level architectures front slow, persistent back-end databases with in-memory stores such as memcached and Redis. Indeed, there is ongoing friction about where in the stack data should be cached: databases and distributed data processing systems want finer control and sometimes cache data within the user-space application. As an extreme point in the design space, RAMCloud9 explored the possibility of keeping all of a cluster's data in DRAM and making it durable via fast recovery mechanisms.

Caching is hardly the only strategy to deal with the I/O gap. Many techniques literally trade CPU time for disk performance: compression and deduplication, for example, lead to data reduction, and pay a computational price for making faster memories seem larger. Larger memories allow applications to have larger working sets without having to reach out to spinning disks. Compression of main memory was a popular strategy for the "RAM doubling" system extensions on 1990s-era desktops.12 It remains a common technique in both enterprise storage systems and big data environments, where tools such as Apache Parquet are used to reorganize and compress on-disk data in order to reduce the time spent waiting for I/O.

Well, sorta. As a simple small change to current Bitcoin design, it is no more an alt than is SegWit.

Quote
with a huge premine

The term 'premine' typically refers to a small cadre of miners secretly mining before release in order to get rich when difficulty is low. In contrast, the distribution of BCC is every holder of Bitcoin gets a 1:1 ratio holding of BCC at the instant of the fork. How could this be any more fair?

Note that this is exactly the distribution mechanism employed by SegWit Coin.

So why would I hold it again?

To have a holding of a more capable cryptocurrency.

If any coin has a chance to dethrone Bitcoin from no. 1 market cap it is Bitcoin Cash, because of the backing by Chinese miners. It is a threat to take seriously. Holding your free BCH is the best hedge against BTC price dropping in value. There are some fireworks coming up in November with the possible SegWit2X fork. Bitcoin ABC is the client; Bitcoin Cash is the coin.

Well, I’ve thought of that also and I came up with still holding onto it because I gain so much benefit from being a bitcoin member in this bitcoin world. Also, one good technique is to wait for a high value in exchange for bitcoin for it to worth it when you finally sell it.

I'd rather dump SV because it's being run by a moron.
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot. When Bcash came out I sold most of it for $600 in September and forgot about this shitcoin. I could have made money on it pumping later, but I didn't. Instead, I had more BTC. I still have some BCH and i moved it to coinbase to get sv and then get rid of it all once and for all.

Every coin becomes useless for any purpose if we don't see how it is utilized by their consumers. Holding it wouldn't be good or may not be of importance if it isn't really been moving with actual usage like if the volume goes up because many are just holding it waiting for the price to move up. These will result in sudden dumping. How are we going to earn if all of us are doing just the same? So I think it is just better not to hold any coin and do more trading instead.

Yes, this is the likely I would do as well. I also sold my BCH after getting it during the fork and never look back. So right now I don't have BCH to get the BCH-SV but I don't really care. We really know the people behind those two coins are really run by greedy person (Jihan/Ver/Wright). So it doesn't make sense for us to really give them the chance to make money in this market.

From my point of view, we should wait more before deciding anything at this time.Keep holding is a best choice now.

a few days the bitcoin price movement has decreased, I see the price of bitcoin $ 4,929 my suggestion for you to keep an eye on bitcoin price movements, consider all the decisions well if you want to buy and sell bitcoin.

I think it's better to keep it while waiting for the price to improve, because in recent times there has been internal bitcoin competition so prices continue to decline. But in recent times prices have begun to improve so that the development of bitcoin in the market has received a positive response

I'd probably just exchange for the Original Bitcoin, and hold onto that.

If not, I could also buy gold with Bitcoin on places like Vaultoro (https://www.smartbitcoininvestments.com/how-to-buy-gold-with-bitcoin/#1_vaultoro) or GoldSilver (https://www.smartbitcoininvestments.com/how-to-buy-gold-with-bitcoin/#2_goldsilvercom).

Keep knowledge,I think crypto currency market do it contorl under people.so every situation need buy/sale because of the increase Bitcoin price.but you can hold if you has bought Bitcoin higher price.so hold depends can your buy volume and sale depends on your mind,how much you will want profit.

I do not sell my coins in such a recession, you have to wait till 2018 year. Its recession is at its peak. It is better to wait longer. Selling coins in such low prices will not yield any big profits. The time to sell the coins was long ago, now stay awhile.

Selling is always depend on the price, we all know that sell8ng on dip is a loss and only fool will sell to loss or maybe people who has on badly need of money will also sell. I believe that the crypto market will soon rise and it will become a big thing soon. So we need to hold and wait for it for is to earn a huge amount of profit, because I believe that the market will soon rise up high.

This time is hold to the all coin which have buy before now and wait for either it is bitcoin Abc or any another coins. there is no problem sell this time but it will not give you the big profit. so hold it.

As with everything we have to study the market first, it also depends on which is the future of bitcoinabc, as always a fork is very tumultuous and complicated at the beginning, so we will have to wait to see what happens, it would not be wrong to sell at a price of $100 but if it has a lot of potentials there's the hodl option too

the wrong step when you have to sell bitcoin now when the market position is in an unstable trend, we can see if right now the move is hold. this can be one of the best ways and ways to avoid losses in using bitcoin
