Bitcoin Forum

Trying to read through the details of the August 1 fork, it struck me that the main difference between the two camps wasn't so much the coin as the people behind them:

Bitcoin core looks like its backed by a bunch of sweating ideological fanatics spitting venom

BCC looks like it's backed by pragmatic people trying to address practical limitations

The result of the fork has been hugely surprising, giving BCC a price stability that shows its a serious player

BCC is now in a serious position to take over as the main Bitcoin branch. Drop the bullshit ideology guys, its the only chance for bitcoin core

You high bro?

Yeah you have a good point there, but still bitcoin will be the main player. We said the thing about ethereum. Even though it's still very strong, it has decreased a lot in value and will definitely not take over bitcoin any time soon. Same for bitcoin cash.

Excuse me, what are you talking about? BCC isn't in any position and at least in serious one to take over Bitcoin, it's just another altcoin that has no serious perspective and can't compete with BItcoin. You are talking like you are sleeping last few days. Besides you can get information here on forum also, it's all cleared. So read more carefuly.

Pretty much, but don't ignore the potential for trolling here. Bitcoin Cash has some wealthy backers, and if they want to make a big marketing push backed by significant hash power, they can.

Now, I'm not saying that makes BCC Bitcoin. But with the right marketing and corporate backing, they could have a serious effect on public opinion. And then it's splitsville for Bitcoin's network effect.

I don't think bitcoin cash (BCC) will replace  bitcoin (BTC) because there are different coins with different wallets but with the same total amount of coins .now every coin has its own community behind .  

.... shows people are not yet capable of depositing their free BCC coins on exchanges to dump because the exchanges have not enabled the option for them.
also one of these exchanges made the mistake of opening the wallet for deposits earlier and now the price on that exchange is $240 below the rest of the market ;)

I agree with you 100%. The problem with most people is that they are short sighted. When you say BCH has a potential of overtaking BTC, they think that will happen tomorrow. I say give BCH at-least two years and alot of people are going to be shocked. BCH has more potential for mass adoption, with BTC that is debatable.

They expand the 1MB limit to 8MB to increase the transaction capacity. Ironically, the blocks mined so far were all below 1MB. Lots of them were only 0.1MB. Let's see how it will go in future.

classic trollbox commentary is classic. ironically, btc-e probably wouldn't even pay out the BCC to users. ;D

i think this split will be interesting, though. everyone expects BCC to die, so that probably won't happen. i think most even doubted that it could reach difficulty readjustment, but it has, and now block time is getting better and things are getting stable. in time, with the right marketing, they might give Bitcoin a run for its money....

even if the BCC is the fork from BTC it is still like a new born baby that needs further development it is not like just working overnight and boom ! it overtook the BTC. lets say a 3 years more on how this BCC gaining its position. let's try to find out who are their biggest financial partner and other political influences that help BCC stay the line on top.to sustain a cyrptocurrency now a day is to "centralized the decentralization".

I think this will be truth in the incoming months , the reason behind this is simple  , Bitcoin is really a big world wide leading currency but still it has some limitations of the fee and speed of the confirmation and also there is limit of the mining in the market because people were really facing the problem to oay high fee in this year and also facing the problem of confirmation , so here the team of the blockchain made some changes in the Bitcoin and with that btc they made a bcc coin which is free from the network of the Bitcoin .
And according to my opinion and from many news sites , i comes to know thst they will make bcc as the most faster coin to confirm and with low fee , so in the future it is possible that most of the people leave the btc use much and make the bcc coin as priority to use .

actually there was a 4MB block mined after a very long block interval yesterday. i'm pretty lazy to find a link to the transaction, but jimmy song posted a link to it on twitter.

it makes sense that there haven't been many transactions right after the fork, even if people are waiting to move coins. until difficulty continues to adjust down and BCC becomes profitable to mine, there is double spend risk.

I don't think that bcc will replace btc because can you guys tell me, what are the things that are better in bcc rather than in bitcoin? because i don't see any special features in bcc and i am still sticking with bitcoin as a primary cryptocurrency investment in my portfolio and i will not let this new bitcoin shake my hands from holding my bitcoins.

I think Bitmain is just testing the waters. With the right branding/marketing and backing from miners, a hard fork could be much more successful than the BU/XT variety we saw in the past. It's less about features or decentralization, and more about control.

What was yesterdays hashrate for BCC/BHC ?

can't agree with you.  

BCC is just a waste if BTC was fully disappeared.

people spend 4 year to remember BTC, they wan't realize what is BTC currently./

Would you please explain why there is double spending risk when the difficulty is still high. I heard about that exchanges won't accept the bcc deposit because of that but don't know why there is such a risk.

Bitcoin will remain the main player, Bcc is considered as altcoin by all exchanges and users are dumping it for btc, Bcc will never replace bitcoin.

You are seriously high bch is just a another altcoin in the market the difference is it has lot of hype and people are simply trying buy more and more and thinking it will be higher than btc remember zcash when it reached exchanges how much hype it had but now it's just another alt wait for a month in september bch will be simply laying around.

after this hangover, clever people will must realised that forking is very profitable, btc+bcc=£2500 or so, 25% profits!

I see more forking coming, even with the reputable altcoins in near future.

Bitcoin died on 01/08/17.

we have now BCC and segwited BTC (which is a copycat of Litecoin ;D)

If you go through the white paper of most of the altcoin you will find out that there are also there to replace bitcoin. I do ask myself this question " why are there interested in replacing bitcoin instead of building their own coin and State reasons why people should invest in that coins.  Bitcoin Cash have been split from bitcoin core, there reason the same   that is "there what to replace bitcoin" time shall tell.

Probably you are right that time can only tell if it was there to replace bitcoin but for now I still think it wont replace bitcoin. It wont since the pump now feels like it is manipulated and before judging first, I would like to see how bitcoincash team would deal with the launching clusterfuck of not having an official wallet for their coin. Also, I would like to see bitcoincash go down first and see it's true value to really say if it was there to replace bitcoin or not.

In my opinion BCC will not replace BTC, because btc and bcc are different. I we btc will not be replaced and btc will keep developing for better than now

I agree with you . BCC is altcoin only for short term investment because this altcoin really does not have potential in the future. BCC is pumped from many investors but when the game is over BCC will return as a forgotten altcoin and Bitcoin still dominates Cryptocurrency.

correct its just a split of coin and it will not replace the king Bitcoin whatever happens.

Bitcoin Cash has lost half of its maximum value within one day. Good luck, "replacement".

LOL.  ;D

This thread should be entitled, Why doping is really bad! LOL! Or perhaps Why BCC will not be able to reach what BTC has reached! Or perhaps Why we should need to wait what will happen next.  ;D

Anyway, the BCC you are talking about helped BTC holders a lot. They have just added some more BTC out of the free BCC.

Nope, not in a million years. It's just a fake bitcoin, like many others that also couldn't compete with it. It's gonna get dumped, already is.
-They want to take already existing tickers, BCC(BitConnect), XBC(Bitcoin Plus).
-Benefits? Or maybe not?
-Nothing new, Bitcoin is the same.
-There is nothing about the team of BCH.
-Their website is very minimalistic and doesn't contain details like:
        -Devs
        -Live price
        -Whitepaper
        -Where to buy(with fiat)
        -Any site where you can follow like Facebook,Twitter, Slack..
-Domain is privately registered, meaning you can't see the registrant's name, unlike BTC, ETH, XRP and many others.

Good luck replacing Bitcoin. It's not a good coin.

There are hundreds of altcoin which are better than Bitcoin in terms of transaction fees and speed. But were they able to beat Bitcoin. No. Bitcoin might have some flaws. But those flaws aren't that big which can make a difference in its popularity. BCC is just another altcoin created as a result of greed. Soon when everyone will claim it and would able to trade it on major exchanges. Price will go down sharply. People are just dumping BCC and are buying BTC of it. The present price is just a pump.

hahahahah i dont believe on this ... i cant imanige BCC will take over the bitcoin
the mother of cryptocurrency

My friend coin dev did BicoinFast,price jumped from 100 sat to over 2500sat in one day after reaching bittrex,it was not enough to overcome btc.Jokes are good thing,more jokes more fun

Exactly, BCC is a free airdrop and the majority of holders have dumped, planning to dump or holding to see if the price goes up (so that they dump later).


Also remember "muh ETH BTC flippening" from 2 months ago? BCC isn't even close so nothing's gonna happen, sorry.

As far as I know, some big exchanges do not support the BCC, and they will not distribute the BCC to the BTC holders, so what you mean they have the same total amount, and what will happen to this bitcoin holders? How to get their BCC if there is 1:1?

i dont think so

Yes, I'm high... BCC is a trader's coin, baby, once the floodgates open traders gonna trade.
As a bonus, nothing could be finer then putting a scare into those assholes at Blockstream...
The world needs simplicity... not geek-gasm crapola like segwit.

In my opinion, the BCC is nothing else but the air, I can see any reasonable value of it, so I think it will not replace the BTC, and maybe it will be another ETC, which is much smaller than ETH in market cap.

If you don't sell your bcash for 0.1 btc, you really don't understand what bitcoin is and what it may become. There is no chance that bcash can replace bitcoin.

I am seriously saying this, what ever or who ever backing the BCC , they never going to influence the main purpose of Bitcoin. In fact  bitcoin will go more forward after this fork. Just watch it's growth.

BCC is at least something but that doesn't mean it will replace BTC, Bitcoin will remain always Main Player in Crypto Currency, LTC, ETH were unable to replace or go forward then BTC then BCC No way,
BCC have good backup but BCC will be always recognize as BTC split and always as alt coin which will be alternate to Bitcoin, Replacing is far away i doubt to be paralleling.


There are so many Exchanges not supporting BCC for now but hopefully they will be supporting in future but people or exchanges supporting BCC and using BCC will always Use and Support as Alt coin as they do to hundreds of other.

Though I have some BCC and I am also a supporter of this coins, but I do not think it will replace Bitcoin, the reason is the baby can not replace his father.  :D :D

Selling bitcoin cash as fast as possible could be the better decision right now. As I know there is an exchanger that already accept bitcoin cash deposit. I guess, soon when more exchanger start to accept it, people will sell it and the price for sure will move down. That's the time to buy it again and wish for a miracle in the next couple months. BCC and BTC are two different coins and they can't replace each other. The question is, whether bcc can survive and gain more interest from more people. Until today, bitcoin is remain the best coin among the other one, but no one knows what will happen in the future.

Cryptopia have been opened for a few hours with 6 confirmations and bittrex are open now with 20 confirmations. The next few hours will be interesting. The price on cryptopie were 50% of bittrex price some houres ago.

I don't believe bcash will die any time soon. But I don't think it will have a 4 billion market cap either. I think we can see prices down to 0.07 the next 24 h hours before a rebound and a new dump.

Your reasons seems like you are spreading FUD, BCC exit today thanks to BTC, assuming the Bitcoin Core team have not done a great job of securing the network for this long it will not worth over 40 Billion market cap. One one can predict the future but I don't see BCC succeeding BTC until I see the road map of BCC team going forward

maybe a road map and interaction of dev will do to enhance what they have started on BCC if they don't have enough making there name on crypto world then they will not be on top.

I'm not here to spread any FUD.  But
Really guys? You seriously tried to replace bitcoin with something as gimicky sounding as bitcoin cash?

I agree with you . BCC is only the second version of Bitcoin and certainly BCC will never be able to pass Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrency. I think BCC can still grow if there are more specific roadmaps

Question: Why the need for this other coin? I'm no programmer but, couldn't they alter bitcoin itself to be able to keep up with the newer demands?

It's because bitcoin updates requires agreement by virtually 100% of the community and bigger blocks is something people have been arguing about for something like 2 years. A faction in the bitcoin community thus decided to break off from the main bitcoin chain and start their own version instead.

Segwit is a competiting solution to processing more transactions and one which bitcoin cash people do not agree with.

With all your respect, you know what you are so ridiculous. It is really insane that BCC for you is the main player, why don't you try to check the amount of bcc now compare into bitcoin. There is no magic in this industry to surpass bitcoin instantly. So bcc is just a waste of that's why many of the bitcoin community still supported on bitcoin.

BCC is the future!!! If I were you, I'd def buy a lot and soon

yes agree i think strongly continues the bitcoin as main decentralized currency in cryptocurrencies altcoin bcc is have a value but not strong enough to replace the bitcoin to become a famous in crypto currency.

Bcc remains altcoin, will not be able to replace btc until whenever. We'll see later, btc remains the number one in the crypto world.

It has been dumping hard and has a very low hashrate, I don't see it moving anywhere anytime soon. Plus a lot of exchanges have yet to credit their customers their BCC yet, at which point it will dump even more. It can never overtake BTC.

Have you seen the recent price of BCH and BTC? Its already way too far when we see the gap, bcc did dump already and Btc had pumped out already reaching $3100,Isnt that amazing? Its really impossible for BCH to replace BTC anytime soon no matter how people do believe on this coin. Believing that price will still climb up now and people starts to convert their bch to bitcoin now which causes for the pump of its price.

Congratulations on your future coins becuase already falling hard, BCC does not have the strong support to replace bitcoin, there are still many shortcomings everywhere in BCC. Although BCC prices are very low right now, I have no plans to buy them because BCC is not a future altcoin and it is not worth holding in the long term.

Goodluck on your chosen path. If you think that BCC/BCH is the future and it will replace bitcoin.

Stand on your belief as you can now buy a lot of BCH's now as the price of your precious coin starts to fall for now.

This is not the future but only bitcoin.

How funny but agree.Bitcoin is unique and the father of all currency.no one can bid with bitcoin. BCC already cresed and the price also has dump.so it will die soon. only BTC is profitable. don't waste you r money holding BCC such as normal shit coin.
BCC never can Replace BTC anymore.

Right never even in BCC wildest dream that it can happen, it can get supporters now but not for long unlike in btc tgat already got every crypto supports.

Bcc wont ever replace btc ofcourse)Sounds like someone smokes weed too much.

Of course BCC was not replace the position of bitcoin. Because BCC is only a altcoins while bitcoin is the king of cryto currency. Moreover BCC have lack of potential to surpass the bitcoin in the market. In addition both credibility and ability of bitcoin was not steal by BCC.

It was just an additional alt trying to take over btc. It just add commotion this week due to split apparently btc were too strong to crash and it still increase in value up until now.

Nothing can be certain in the world of crypto-currency. And don't read much in to the previous 2-3 days exchange rates. Do you remember how Bitcoin rebounded after declining to $200 from $1,230? The same can happen with BCH as well.

BCH has now bottomed out and is bouncing epically. The chart is signalling hard core growth to thermonuclear levels of propsperity.

Don't Say You Negroes Wern't Warned!

I think it's still too soon to think that BCC will replace bitcoin, bcc can not even be considered worth the bitcoin. Bcc road is still long to be able to compete with bitcoin. Moreover you should consider some other aspects and factors to make that statement.

Hmm.... doesn’t all technology replace its father? #creativedestructionism

You must still be using the father of internet... AOL dial-up

I see a lack of perspective in most comments on this feed.  Technology always advances, the first edition is never sustainable.  Unless BTC changes they will inevitably die due to their flaws that other altcoins ETH, LTC, BCC are improving upon. Don’t get emotionally attached to any crypto
