Bitcoin Forum

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, in Twitter congratulated Bitmain founder Jihan Wu and bitcoin angel investor Roger Ver on the recent success of Bitcoin Cash, particularly in the South Korean market.

How it will be to evolve in the future, what do you think?

I'm curious will BCH stays on the 2nd place after the incoming difficulty increase. My guess is that most of the miners will switch again to BTC, slowing down the BCH and making very hard BCH miners to sell their coins to the market.

I don't like the whole BCH-BTC drama and I'm hoping that BCH will fail. Not because of the project, but because to discourage similar dramas in future. This is not good for any ordinary player on the crypto-market around.

"BTG BITCOIN-GOLD Market Cap Overtakes Bitcoin" ( see You can post anything, but should it be true? )

Can U check cap's before you post assertions?

No it hasn't

ETH is some $5 B more than BCH, why  do U misrepresent?

ETH is just as much of a over-hyped shit-coin as bch, ... that part I agree.

Perhaps it's in ETH's interest to destroy BTC, to put ETH in front?

The deal here is there are lots of PLAYERS and they all want to be king,

Like asshole "Peter Theil" (paypal) always says "The game is to have a monopoly, to OWN IT ALL"

Still not decided if this is serious competition or PnD the price dropped around 1k in less than an hour after reaching a peak of 2200.. I like Roger Ver but he has been spreading false information in the past. All this competition between BCH and BTC makes me consider to switch to Ethereum instead, I'm just about clueless on the topic and from both sides all you get is bias.

I guess the saying goes: Where two are fighting for a bone, the third takes it home (?)

Nothing is harmed, except 'trader morons' losing lots of money, buying BCH at $2500, only for it to fall back to $600 ( most shit-alt coin faux trade at 10% of mother coin ), think zcash/zen, btc/bch, eth/eth-classic, ....

The 'drama' has MADE a press news, everybody is talking about crypto's, so that is good I guess,

BCH is what it is, just another scam shit-coin clone, but with really good marketing, not unlike the fuck-coin BTG aka bitcoin-gold

There is NO way to regulate this shit, thank god, I'm sure satoshi expected this, its open-source, this is the nature of the beast

Best thing for smart people is to IGNORE the price, just hold your BTC in cold storage, and NOT play the game,

IF U play the game, ALL ORCHESTRATED by scammers, U will lose your BTC.

BCH briefly passed Ethereum's marketcap on its peak to quickly lose about 50% of its value in an hour.

@bitfools, i like your analysis in your posts on this board.
i also think that the news that BCH is making is good for crypto.
i think it will all come right but there will be a lot of heartache, i am not playing the game

Yes, It was a major pump and dump for BCH. Bitcoin also seems to have bottomed
but we will know for sure in coming weeks.

This is a critical situation for bitcoin guys, we dont know what else to do, maybe we should leave the boat, maybe we should put all our strength with bitcoin, we dont know anything.
I dont know what to do, bitcoin cash is going up like a skyrocket, it was at 0.20 (btc rates) a few hours ago, and now it us upto 0.27 each one, i dont know what else to do.
Maybe i should try to get some whisky and be quiet for some more hours, but honestly, this is affecting me a lot, i dont want to keep losing more money.

It's not rocketing. It was heavily speculated all day, trading between 0.3x and 0.2x with several turns both way. Lots of money made by market manipulators, others lost, other tried to keep up with the trend and made some extra.

Not only major pump and dump but this is the battle of the bitcoin itself. To attract the more miner to help run its network. In another way as you can see about the bitcoin this time gets massive pending tx in the network. That's why they are trying to choose another way to send their money and the bitcoin cash as an alternatives way.
But this was relating to the political drama in the crypto. I just stay away from there and still believe on my ethereum.

BCH and BTC are getting a little settled now.
Bitcoin seems to have reached a new bottom of around 6400$ and bircoincash seems to have pulled back a bit also,
but there may be another bitcoincash surge to come

It was a good pump and dump... But did you pay attention to this privacy coin " DASH".. This is certainly the winner..and this just the beginning

This is normal, it is trading process, which depends of many factors. Part of your btc you can hold in the cold storage but some you can use for trading and let amount of btc grow this all. only use situation. If you look with the trader's position eash altcoin, which has volatility is good.

I hope that BCH would fail in the near future it affected many alts because of the btc-bch shifting of the miners. Many people are also fooled by bch and it is going down now.

It also surpassed Ethereum as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap.com. Bitcoin cash, which notably ...

I hate bitcoin cash, a coin fake bitcoin but it thrives and affects bitcoin. Meanwhile ethereum with many crypto support technologies is not favored by investors

Its because the crypto whales are setting up a whale traps for the newbies,just like the recent BCH madness many have lost their funds.

I think Vitalik is just being friendly. He's a nice guy. He don't care if other coins will beat them in market cap. All he needs to do is focus on Ethereum. BCH at 2nd rank didn't lasted long though as there was a heavy correction that happened.

Bitcoin cash is just a pump and dump coin, the last time it pumped to 2000$, this is crazy and not natural in my opinion.

It is probably an exit scam done by Jihan and Roger Ver

If bitcoin was genuinely anti-fragile, it wouldn't be threatened at all.

Regarding the miners - scrypt coins have had to deal with miners switching hashrate for years, and some coins have become very resilient to this. It's bitcoin's turn to show us what it's made of. If it can be hurt this easily, best we find out now rather than later.

That pump and dump was short lived. I was actually fortunate to be watching bitcoin cash price and marketcap spike at that moment. Luckily i got in early for bitcoin cash and when it peaked i dumped it earning a pretty penny . But i honestly feel bad for those who bought in high and waiting to regain their losses.. bitcoin cash has been having little pumps since than and falling near the 1k usd price and gaining a sudden 100 or 200 and getting dumped again. Should be very careful with this coin right now, it is not stable at all or a smart investment unless you know what you are doing.

Yes, they have the so called "5 minutes of fame", ETH now at $32M while BCH is down to $18M. Sadly for those who believed in this FUD this last couple of weeks have either lost their money or are still trap and can't get out because the price is just a shade away from $1000. I felt really sorry for them because they listen to too much FUD from BCH guys, and it you are in the right frame of mind, you wouldn't bite, but there are still newbies around that they easily swayed.

he just made that tweet because he has been involved with bitcoin cash and had invested in it while it was low and wanted to make the most profit out of its pump.

and as you can see nothing can beat the market cap of ethereum for long because the market cap of ethereum is manipulated with the huge premine of the coin and the massive supply that it has compared to majority of the altcoins out there.
it is not a fair fight when it comes to ETH M.C.!

Everyone will understand that this is only temporary. In my opinion, the BCH will be forgotten in the long run. So those who own the BCH will slowly do all the damage if they take it all out of hand.

The reason why bitcoin cash surpass the market cap of ethereum is because of the cancellation of segwit2x. That's why many were questioning about the ranking of coin because nobody can predict its real value.

I dont believe Bitcoin Cash. It is just pump and dump coin, mostly controlled (owned) by some Chinese guys!

There will be more prince and  princess,but there will be only one king.I will not say bitcoin cash will be success or failure ,bitcoin is power but it old ,it needs change ,we should see more
possibility for bitcoin and also the enemy of bitcoin.There more possibilities,the more progress for ours coins.And it will make the team behind bitcoin to change it better.Also,In my opinion.
Ethereum is better than bitcoin cash at present,bitcoin cash is new and It takes time to test.
