Title: The next fork and Segwit2X discussion Post by: hypersonic1 on October 25, 2017, 09:52:12 AM I'm having trouble finding consensus on which strain of BTC will win out. It's very important for guys like me on the streets talking to people about it with visa cards in hand to know what's coming up next. From what I can tell there is a ton of bickering.
At it's core it's a very simple issue on how to process transactions. Why are people becoming sooo political about it? But again the bottom line, the longer people play chicken or the crazy ivan game with billions of dollars worth of bitcoin, the more likely that value will disappear quickly come late November. We need consensus on paper to have tangible debate and results. From what I can tell that's not happening. If you want all of those people claiming this to be a bubble to be right, if you want a self fulfilling prophecy, if you want the wallstreet nay sayers to win, that's how you do it. Arguing till your coin has devalued by thousands. Thoughts, info and news please.

Segwit2x, the more I read about it, the more it seems like a power grab. It doesn't seem like its proposed changes are as useful as they seem either.

Segwit2x, the more I read about it, the more it seems like a power grab. It doesn't seem like its proposed changes are as useful as they seem either. Most likely a power grap. If an experienced politician is hired to study the whole situation he will say thesame thing. It's more like a coup plot. A coup against a certain group. Their first strategy is to find or create problems in the targetted community/country/organization, offer a solution that is capable of creating divisions and oppositions against the leading figures. Instal some agents in opposing camps then use them to lauch a vicious attack to take over power. Core seems to be doing a good job at neutralizing the Rebels ( thanks to the way Bitcoin is structured?) . Title: Re: The next fork and Segwit2X discussion Post by: tweetbit on October 25, 2017, 10:56:49 AM Forking is a desperate move that the intention is replacing bitcoin on its place. They keep on making this and failed but we might take things carefully as it might go to worst scenario. Those who attempt and the coin that be made is supposedly unsupported by the community but humans/investors because of free coin and greed will ignore the risk for money.
Title: Re: The next fork and Segwit2X discussion Post by: hypersonic1 on October 25, 2017, 11:14:40 AM The problem is that aside from people screaming and hinting at things. I haven't seen one factual thing other than the base level information of the split.
Is it big vs small miners? Plant organizations government/business or otherwise? Is this a lovers spat? Why don't we just have a week of discussion and have a large community vote or something? Were around the one month mark right now. The roller coaster is going to start soon without knowing where people fall. Is there a main site for this split or sites with competing information?
