Bitcoin Forum

A lot of people feel very strongly about the support for the different sides to the debate. Core vs Classic. We saw some people leaving the scene when Mike Hearn did his

XT tantrum when he left to go work with the competition. I was just wondering, if people will do the same thing, if either Core or Classic failed? Does your support for Bitcoin,

rely purely on the developers who work on it, or do you support the technology. Let's put this to a poll. Once again, this poll will not be a true reflection of anything, due to

sock puppets on this forum etc... Let's just poll the group to see how they feel about this.  ::)

How would one determine whether his side lost? Say if Classic got 75% and successfully forked, the Core could still stick around and try to take the "power" back when Classic's model proves to be faulty. The same other way around, Classic can fail to get 75% now, but could get there later on when people are disappointed with Core's model.

The ride never ends. Learn to love it.

Bitcoin can be only one. All the rest are altcoins.
The approch Mike had - to leave - was not good neither for Bitcoin, neither for him (imho).

I understand that this involves much more politics than a dev would like, but leaving is usually not the best way to fight for your views.

I'd say stay and make your point of view stong and loudly heard. But whether that will be the direction taken or not, stay.

I agree. Try to learn to love the ride.

It is a hope of a large number of bitcoin users that it will get success sooner in the coming future.
So I also have a faith that it will be established in the future in all over the world and will sooner become a global currency.

I definitely wouldn't automatically stay. Devs on both sides have zero experience of economics and them trying to tinker without taking that into account, or worse, thinking they know something about it, could send it to hell.

If there's one thing this thing has in spades it's the naivety and greed of the people involved. I don't believe most of these guys have enough long term vision and I'd walk if it was looking bad.

i am not gonna leave bitcoin just because one side won. as long as bitcoin is alive and still being used either for trading or small shopping i will continue to use bitcoin and support it anyway i can.

and i don't think the situation is so black and white, it is not going to be win or lose there should be a consensus or it's not gonna work out for either sides.

This depends on what exactly happens after a controversial HF is activated. However, since Classic is moving away from the "just Core with a 2 MB block size limit" model and adding some undesirable "features" it is more likely that I'd abandon Bitcoin.

It was always about politics. The people behind the controversial HF's aren't what I'd call 'excellent developers' anymore.

Mostly because they're greedy (hoping that the price will go up).

i am a bitcoin core supporter, but let's pretend bitcoin classic takes over, then i will continue to stay as i believe in the future of bitcoin. the only negative point i see is when bitcoin classic indeed wins the battle (which i don't think will happen), then a certain group can stand up and create bitcoin ultimate for example, to take over classic. and i'm sure that it will happen. it will be group against group. and at the end the only loser will be bitcoin. :(

I am a normal bitcoin user and I do not have any special support to any side. So what I care for is to keep btc alive, whether side win in this debate, I would continue using it

I voted for it does not matter what side wins. Why? For me this is a religious question. I want to see Bitcoin to be successfull. If all people would have this in mind we would not have such a tricky situation.

I will stay... Because it doesn't matter what side wins :D as long as Bitcoin develops further...

it depends!
if bitcoin takes a hit because of the change and major developers leave and give the development of bitcoin to some few that lead it to ruins i would not stay because i don't want to watch something i liked die.

I'm uncertain as to which position is more stupid: 1) Not knowing (ignorance); 2) Not caring (disinterested). I'm leaning more towards your position. What do you think is going to happen if you let Bitcoin be taken over by a small group of inexperienced developers being backed by a corporation (Coinbase)? Take a wild guess.

Can't really do that without real developers and engineers.

That's definitely not the only point because:

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F6idPrJ4.png&t=562&c=qLcIqMcILh4UZw

>failure of bitcoins [sic] reason for existence
What does that even mean?

It doesn't really matter to me personally, as long as the impact on the price isn't drastic.

Correct, that's why it doesn't really matter which side wins, because whoever does is because they have a good, working team.

leaving this would be just admitting a failure, i'm going to see how it will resolve in the end, i'm sure it will be sorted out in some way

and bitcoin it's not about a central figure, i'm staying with the decentralized nature of it, so if dev abandon the ship other dev will emerge, devs counts nothing here they are just coders

don't give importance to them because by the time you do so, you're thinking about a centralized system....

Should you stay or leave? It depends on when you entered bitcoin world, if you have waited long then you should stay as staying can be profitable in future.

Classic has a good team? :D This must be a terrible joke.

You'd know if you had joined for the right reasons.

So you're only here because of (potential) profit?

Does it really matter and does there have to be a winner i have heard it said that lots of different competing node types would be healthy for bitcoin.

Whoever said that is a moron, it's the opposite of the truth.

If the object of the game is to agree on which transactions/blocks are valid, then why would you introduce a competition? Competition and agreement are opposing concepts; it's not possible to agree with a proposition whilst also simultaneously contesting it. Bitcoin runs on consensus, and competing nodes is anti-consensus, by definition.

I guess I'm from the old school. The idealists that want bitcoin to be an incorruptible money.

If the shrill voices, panic merchants, politicking and disingenuity we've seen recently from (mainly) classic supporters is able to change the way bitcoin is headed, against the advice of the (active) developers who actually know what's going on, then my faith in the that type of future for bitcoin is destroyed. I might still use it, but as a (probably inefficient) paypal, since i'm invested in it.

I will stay and I really do not think it matters which side wins.  This will work itself out organically as it is a great design and well thought out.  The devs will reach agreements that work for everyone.

Satoshi chose to hand the reins to Gregory Maxwell for a reason... he understood the idea and believed in its Core principles better/more than anyone.

If there comes a day where His emails don't become the future roadmap for Bitcoin... decentralization will have been lost... and Bitcoin will have died.

We cannot let that happen.

I don't care either way very strongly, so I'm kinda an interested but not extremely invested observer.  I would just as soon use an altcoin like dash to do business with.

I will stay as there is and will always be a lot profit to be made with Bitcoin. But I am not quite sure if I will continue to support Bitcoin as I am doing right now if an alternative takes over. It means that literally anything can happen with Bitcoin and that the freedom/decentral aspect that we value so much, is worth next to nothing as certain entities can force us to do anything they wish.

Amen, brother.

I've decided to go along with whatever Randyfolds, Kluge, dree12 and LoupGaroux agree is right. But they all need to respond in this thread.

I agree. Try to learn to love the ride. :P

I concur. Even though there are times that a "challenge" to the existing team might be necessary, wanting to introduce competition as a 'standard' is foolish.

Why those individuals?

And everyone will live happily ever after? ::)

So you're only here because of profit? How lovely.

I will stay at a moment at least till the halving, and if the price continue to rise after halving I will stay or else leave bitcoin and invest somewhere else.

You should have faith in bitcoin mate, even if price falls after halving it will rise again in future so we should always stay as bitcoin is here to survive for long run.

yes bitcoin will be strong currency in future, and it is expected that price will rise in future, so we should have patience and keep on believing in bitcoin.

Because they're people that I used to talk to long ago. They were rational, intelligent, were not mindless drones following the herd and I greatly respected their opinion. None of them have been here for more than a year. LoupGaroux hasn't been here for almost three years.

Sockpuppets aside.... It still looks like many people are still willing to hang in there for some of their own reason.. {profit / believe that it might get better / loyalty to the

cause.} I am also very outspoken about this whole Classic vs Core thing, but I still believe in the ultimate positive outcome of this experiment. Abandoning Bitcoin, because

some developers want to ruin it for everyone, is not an option... We will stuck in there and ride this to the end.  ;D 

It's not about "some developers want[ing] to ruin it for everyone," but the fact that it's possible for a handful of developers to ruin it for everyone.
Turns out Bitcoin ain't the "mathematically-secured, trustless currency, not a plaything of corruptible h00mans & their frailties, like that filthy fiat toilet paper."

I see. Out of those 4 I only remembered Kluge (didn't notice the other ones).

That makes no sense. The only reason for which this could come to someones mind is due to reading the propaganda by the 'forkers' or shills. As an example, they tend to say that the Lightning Network is Blockstream's product and is centralized (obviously both are false).

'The only thing' that could destroy it is human stupidity (as with everything).

To be honest there was so much fud on the issue when the forum was blowing up I decided to step back and wait for clearer links to the issue from level heads. Believe this thread will end up the same way as people try to beat the other opinion to death and vice versa.
Its to bad that we can not sit down and figure this issue out.

For me I do not think it matters which side wins as long as bitcoins live on.

If the thread is about user will be on this forum or not, Than the reply from me is i will stay here in forum very long , because i am earning from this site, their are so many userfull information i use to get daily, like, sports betting i get lost of information about matches, Alt coins mostly all alt coins thread and information are their on this forum, and the most details and development of bitcoin technology information is also their on this site with updated till now.

I will stay

I am staying.. not an active member in posting but always reading..
the only problem I found is that I CAN'T set an avatar.. any good soul to explain me how do I do it? lol

I will definitely stay and keep supporting Bitcoin. As long as it helps me save my money and make some money with it I will stay on Bitcoin. And I still have some coins to sell so I will not leave until I at least sell those coins against a profit.

Yeah and if we leave now then that would be the worst decision of our life and we will surely regret in future and we need to have some patience so that we can sell at higher profits in future.

It's not a egoistic issue to leave. Whatever might be, the decision needs to take bitcoin towards growth rather than fall. So only the future will give the outcome.

I do not care which client system we use, as long as it further Bitcoin as a technology and provides a net benefit in the long run. If we are not able to maintain the capacity of being able to run the blockchain without having our blocks overfilled, we being to lose the integrity of the network, which drives people away. This is something that we are not able to afford.

Well then you effectively should care which client we use. In the case of a unlikely "victory" of one client over another (or forks?; it isn't easy to put proper wording on this), you might end up with what you've just described.

Tl;dr: You are both here solely because of potential profit.  ::)

1) Wrong section; 2) You need to be a full member in order to do so.

I would prefer to stay at a moment as I don't think that this is the right time to leave as I have been waited long to see higher price of bitcoin, so if I leave now then that would be the most foolish thing to do.

yes,i'm also think this time is not right time to leave even anything happen to bitcoin,It does not matter what side win,i will stay support and use bitcoin,core or classic are not important to as long its not make me stay away from this lovely crypto currency.

Only the future will tell how Bitcoin is going to be. Their is no point of me leaving when I am making money with Bitcoin. This is just not the right time and moment for me. This can change in the future but for the moment I am good.

I dont give a shit if which side will win i will stay even my side lose as long a they make right changes for bitcoin then we are all settled. If people want to leave i respect their decision its their loss not ours.

"Should I stay or should I go". like in the famous song.  :) As long as there are benefits is better to stay. Even if there are hard times, I still recommend to stay, Bitocin has a future.

"It does not matter what side win."

I am not as bitcoin-savvy as others and hence I do not join the debate on which chain or software to support. As long as Bitcoin is active, I will remain in the Bitcoin community. Keep it simple. :).

I will stay for now. I am just new to Bitcoin and I am planning to make some money with it. I am just trying it out so quitting now is no option for me. The future will tell if I am will stay of leave Bitcoin, but for now I will stay a little longer.

I don't really care about it, I will just use the one who in. But it doesn't mean I'm in its side, because I don't want the Bitcoin community divided into two parts just because this thing.

it depends on a lot of things. at this point I don't care which one takes over.
I am not exactly an expert but I have reviewed both proposals and in both of them I have found some things that I didn't exactly like to see.

so in the future if bitcoin is still the same good old bitcoin, I will continue using it but if things chance like the decentralization fail or the fee market changes I may just leave.

yes,almost all of we are dont care about who will win between core or classic,its why i choose "It does not matter what side win"
but i think bitcoin community will not divided even everything happen.

if you stay,so you choose one of that 2 sides between core and classic,shich one you choose to stay?
you should be patient,newbie and jr.member still can't wear avatar,just keep watch and post until you got better rank member.

I'm pretty sure that it does matter and that people should care (essentially you're saying that you're okay with a 'takeover' otherwise).

This is wrong, the Bitcoin community is already divided (albeit a small portion supports Classic).

The question wasn't directed at the presented, but rather the future ("will").

I will prefer to stay at a moment as leaving now is not the right decision to make as price will be higher in next couple of months so I will not leave and stay with bitcoins.

If you leave you'd miss out on the entertainment value of this cluster fuck of clueless retards having heated discussions like they know what's going on. Idiots are always the most entertaining part of any media. Just think of this forum as a running debate between Gomer Pyle, Carl the greenskeeper from Caddyshack, Clark Griswold and his cousin Eddie, Navin Johnson from The Jerk, Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne from Dumb and Dumber and hundreds of others. Just do what I do and whenever you read a really stupid group of posters having a debate just assign one of the faces below to each of them. You'll laugh until you cry.

I've not been particularly impressed with anyone from any angle. I think it's a delicate time and Bitcoin could easily fade into irrelevance if the wrong move is made. It's a trillion miles away from being too big to fail. I'll chip if there's clearly a better option that's looking strong.

well, i believe in bitcoin to be honest and i believe that it will exist forever and ever no matter what so i dont think there would be too much of a difference if core or classic won this battle

either way i will hold my bitcoins and hope that people will show more interest in this cryptocurrency, thus making the price grow significantly and allow me to make some good money

I can not tell the difference between core and classic.
And I believe if things getting worse, Bitcoin God will come back rescue us.

There's a huge difference between them. How you can not see it, is beyond me.

There is no such thing as a "Bitcoin God".

This is why one needs to be conservative when it comes to scaling Bitcoin, else it might go down the path of wrong and irrelevant.

You're wrong, there will be a huge difference. How about informing yourself?

Bitcoin God is satoshi nakamoto.

One day he will come back and all this none sense.

I will stay, I'm here to make money & although I like Core & would prefer them to win I'm not an idiot. I'm here to try & make good money with bitcoin not to be a cheerleader. I have no allegiances to anything or anybody where my money is concerned.

No. Anyone who believes this is a fool. Satoshi is just the creator, that is it.

His input should not have more influence, else you're just appealing to authority.

So basically you're saying, money over anything? Interesting.

I will definitely stay and keep on using Bitcoin. Bitcoin helped me saving and making money at the same time. The people that will leave are just not making money.
I still have bitcoins to sell so there is no reason for me to leave Bitcoin at the moment. 

yes i'm also stay,i will stay on core side,its not easy to get classic bitcoin,and i'm not bitcoin miner, however classic or core,i will stay on bitcoin with many reason,and still waiting for bitcoin next project,now open bazaar have launch,and next is bitcoin halving,can't be wait for that.

I will stay I do not know why people are arguing about this. If you want to leave just leave. I am staying because I am doing good with Bitcoin and I also want Bitcoin be successful.

As long as Bitcoin has value I am staying here, I don't really care about the block size debate, the more waiting time and many other things which maybe a bit of annoyance but I came here to stay so not leaving from Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the heaven of payment systems, as it has absolutely 0 restrictions. So even the guy who opened this poll wants to leave I recommend him to think twice or thrice before deciding to leave.

Core or classic,my love for bitcoin would remain the same.I am happy both ways as long as bitcoin serves the purpose it was originally created for.

I do not see much difference between Core and Classic. Both need hard fork to do 2MB block size increase. Hard fork has been applied many times before in the digital coins.

Everyone's mentality needs to be the same as the above person. The reason is none has a valued reason to leave, but has lot reason to be along with bitcoin.

the difference is that classic is nothing more than an altcoin. and if classic for whatever reason takes over core (which will not happen) then it's a punch in the face of every one that loves the freedom aspect of bitcoin. it means that a certain group can force us to use something we don't want. it's basically like a dictatorship. that's why we have to protect the core client.

i just hope this issue gets solved soon and we can continue living with no fear of bitcoin's future.

Im neither for core or for classic i am for bitcoin...... so what ever works

There is no issue if there is no-one is supporting Classic. Thank god that pretty much no-one is (apart from one lonely Amazon AWS server lol).

do you even want to go?
if i was you then I would survive on the go. in bitcoin I've been able to make money, although arguably it a bit. but I am grateful for that, so I'll keep looking and stay with bitcoin  ;D

With me it all depends on the price of the Bitcoin if the price is going to be stable for to long I might just leave because I really have not intention to wait for a long time.
But if the price is changing more often I will stay without a doubt.

If you will leave at this stage then you will surely regret as halving is on its way and if you can hold your coins till that time than you can make good profits by selling at that time.

Yeah this not the the time to quit, hold your coins for next few months and sell when the price goes higher and that is the best thing to do I guess.

Its the time to hold rather than quitting. Right now there is no risk in your earning as no work is involved. Only you hold for few more months and quit. You may get some additional earning because of halving.

Everyone wants that additional profits and that is the reason majority of us are holding our coins at a moment as we can expect higher price at the time of halving.

The number of nodes (especially in a short time-frame) is a very unreliable metric of support. Classic 'supporters' have demonstrated this by letting a small group of people start a huge number of nodes.

Time to stop being greedy.

One of those does not work.

Well one has to consider that this is a 'paid' Sybil attack and that quite a high percentage of those nodes are pruned. In any case, the intention behind it is not strengthening the network for sure.

Yes I am also staying for a while the fact that Bitcoin allows me to make extra money is reason enough for me to stay. And it does not even take much of my time so it is easy to manage.
But I got to say that when the price is stable to long I have thought about leaving.

It all is going to depend on the price of the Bitcoin if the price is not high enough and it is taking to long to get their I might just stop using Bitcoin and find something else to invest my money into.

You say that Bitcoin allows you to make extra money but you are also saying that you think about leaving just because the price is stable.

It doesn't make any sense what you say. You can still make money with a stable price. So I'm not really sure what the problem is....

I didn't vote because my opinion wasn't represented in the survey.  If this option were included: "I'd stick around awhile and give the elected side a chance to prove their conviction."  Then I'd have voted for that one.  My concerns about bitcoin aren't centered around turning a profit; it's the health of the technology and the preservation of its virtues that concerns me.  If bitcoin becomes some regulated, centralized, KYC type of system, I'm rolling up my bag and running....just like that!  I'm sure many others would too.

Yeah I agree as long as I still can make money with Bitcoin I will stay. In the past I almost decided to stop with Bitcoin because the price was not moving for a very long time. This was making me impatient and almost quit with Bitcoin.

I believe that it doenst matter witch side wines there are always losers and winners.
You cant be both that´s the truth there are always people who can´t be beaten. And there are also people who never win:p

If you quit at this stage then you will regret in future for sure as this is the time to stay and hold coins for future as price will be higher at the time of halving.

I am deciding to stay for a bit longer the price is finally changing again and that gives me something to do on Bitcoin. I only think about quiting Bitcoin when the price is stable for to long then I think about leaving.

Classic cars are old cars built with old technology. People buy them for nostalgic reasons. Classic Bitcoin is much the same. Support classic if you want to stay in the last decade. :)

Yeah people are still thinking about leaving or staying I can tell you this that this is not the time to leave at all. At the moment there is much happening with Bitcoin like the halving that can come in.

If you leave now then it can be the worst decision of your life as price is rising at moment and it will be much higher at the time of halving.

People that is using Bitcoin must have the patience for it to wait for a better value and that would be nice but it is hard to know what is going to happen of course.
But it is hard to find out what will happen with the value so the chance is also that you can wait a lpng time for it.

Every bitcoin user doesn't need the patience, only the user who expects some additional profit than the regular profit needs to Wait. Else can get small profit with minor fluctuations happening often.

Stay.

What every bitcoin user does not need to be patience, i think you are wrong bitcoin need to to be wait before ypu can make a profit.. because the price of bitcoin is not so stable..  if dont have a patience  you will lose with bitcoin.. so if you buy lots of bitcoin now wait for halving to make more profit..

History says that many people have lack patience in the past and sold when price fell down, and if you want to earn higher profits then you need to have patience or else you will not earn anything.

i will stay  ;D

I will not leave at a moment as we are so close to halving now so leaving now would not be the best decision to make, I will stay for next couple  of months.

I will stay with bitcoin with the old core version rather than trying new fork, it will be like trying new altcoin out of bitcoin if i start supporting xt of bitcoin. I still support core version of bitcoin network.

I'm very much interested in how the halving will affect the value of bitcoins. At first, I was just going with the trend/hype of many.
Then I kind of gathered information and speculations and came to an opinionated conclusion that while the halving will probably affect the value of bitcoins, I do think that it will not last as people might start dumping.

For me it depends on how Bitcoin is doing if I see that the price is not moving and I know that this is going to be a waist of time wi will leave without hesitation.
I would sell all my coins and quit just like that.

Majority of people are committing the same mistake that you are doing as they don't have patience and will sell all their coins at lower price without waiting for a descent period.

The bitcoin price is quite low at the moment. It is just 20-50% higher than the mining electricity cost. So I will hold.

I am sure that I am going stay, the price is now moving up and it will be dumb of me to leave now when I know that I can make some money now. So I will nor leave now maybe in the future but not know.

I dont exactly know what my reaction would be. Maybe the first seconds i think i should leave
but if i do it i will have so many disappointments that i prefer to stay.

Will I stay or Will I leave - Poll?

ill definitely stay in Bitcoins. why? as long as there is a lot of
community patronizing it,theres no reason to leave. :)

Since I've only just begun - I will stay  ;D

there's a lot of things that needs to be learn in Bitcoin world, as of the moment I dont have the reason to leave. ::)

And the recent issue where 40,000+ transactions went unconfirmed proves that something needs changing.

it depends if bitcoin is dying but i will prefer to stay at a moment as leaving now is not the right decision and i probably leave bitcoin for life i will cash out all my money i waited bitcoin to increase the price leaving a bitcoin world is accepting/admiting  of your  failure if some of proffessional or if  im the one im going to see how it will resolve in the end

I don't really care. I'm using an online wallet. It's up to them to decide which one they want to support.

I'll just go with the flow, but that's just me. I don't know with you guys.

Same too because yesterday a lot of people have any problem with the core.various problem and make me stay in an online wallet and worried to try core. but some people prefer using core until now.

It doesn't matter what side win, I stay. BTC has a future, it has survived already so many crisis.

I think that I will stay for a while because I am still making some money and I am not convinced that the Bitcoin is already dead.
When the Bitcoin is dead I am sure to give up by then but as long as I can make some money I am making use of it.

It does not matter to me which side wins because I am going to stay and that is what matters to me. As long as I can keep doing what I am always doing on Bitcoin I am good.

I think personally that you should definitely stay instead of leaving, because bitcoin has a very big future ahead of right now and if you want to earn some money, then bitcoin is the right thing to do.

But really, it is your choice after all.

So you're staying as long as you can earn a few bucks from signature campaigns? You're definitely here for all the right reasons. ::)

Your statament does not even make sense (all that matters to you that you're staying?). Additionally, it does matter what happens. You can't let a controversial HF take over, else the system is not as resistant as you think (which is one of the reasons that Bitcoin's blockchain is so valuable).
If you want to be ignorant enough and support the wrong side or not care at all, nobody can stop you.

If you ask me i will stay because there is no reason for me to leave because the price is getting higher than before and it makes the bitcoin mining profitable ;D. Also, if you think that bitcoin is not profitable on mining anymore you can try many cryptocurrency like ETH to mine. It's just my opinion :).

I will choose core rather than classic. Even though the new mining cores could not suffice in the long run but it will make bitcoin transaction fast. Cores can operate in full nodes with lesser power and maintenance. Cores are preparation for what will happen to bitcoin, though bitcoins future is unsecure but we must not just be lax like the classic supporters does. We need change and wee need cores for the future of bitcoin.

Sorry, i'm not into bitcoin mining or development but, i have this to say, what is the issue about CORE or CLASSIC why can't they unite (stay to grow and support) the vision of bitcoin instead of some group causing division that might lead to the fall of bitcoin.

☞Final Note : if, bitcoin fail both CORE & Classic groups will fail as well. ;D ;D

Thanks
Arlene

Which side will win obviously matter, but now fortunately, it has been proven that Core will never be surpassed, good for everyone's interest.

Yup, the future BTC will have a future that is very special and very profitable. BTC has also passed through so many crises which have been passed. So the BTC will remain victorious and still provide an advantage for us in the present and the future

Btc has a huge future that I can see, you obviously have to know that businesses are going to start using BTC as it is growing big time and people see it as an opportunity for their business whether big or small can grow with BTC.

You should honestly stay to watch BTC grow to huge heights.

Since I've only just begun I will chill out and grab a drink lol just have that in mind when you use btc, you will be happy that you kept along with the journey BTC is growing and so is the community so we'll all have fun through the ride.

I think we should have patience and should stay with bitcoin longer, as bitcoin will be more popular in future and it will also take price of bitcoin to a higher level.

You really have to stay because it's going to really just keep going up and up because with the halving you'll see that the supply will be cut in half so the demand will go up at an alarming rate and from there you'll see that you can make some major money through it.

I'll have to agree with this. Simply holding the coins (for a long period of time) is usually enough to make high profits.

I'm still gonna stay. because it did not lose to. the important thing is if any are made bitcoin. I believe in him

Holding is the best as you it is the safest way to multiply your profits, and after holding this long if I quit now then it will be a worst decision of my life, I will stay longer with bitcoin.

well i guess you are right it is better to stay with bitcoins whatever happens because in my opinion in a longer run you can make a lot of money as the price is surely going to grow

i will definitely stay with bitcoins because i really know that one day the price is going to grow a lot in the future thus allowing me to make profit or use new technology every day

Exactly we need to stay at a moment not only to make profits at halving but bitcoin also needs support form its users in long run to make it shine in the best possible way.

The more people we have in the system the more that btc is going to go up because if everyone sells at the halving process then we wont have many people that will actually make anything because people think that btc price is going to sink when the halving happens when in reality it wont go down at all because supply and demand DEMANDS that btc goes up.

You could say that but you also have to think of the fact that you're just staying with btc in hopes that it will go up, btc most likely will because there arent as many risks to take when the halving happens and not as many btc will be in circulation. Supply goes down demand goes up simple as that people just follow as we say and take your money and save it into something that will help you later.

Definitely use your btc when you actually need it, if you dont need to use your btc i do reccomend saving because there is never an issue with just saving, you will never have to deal with any MAJOR problems when it comes to just storing your btc in a cold wallet, hope you have a lot of fun and get good money, just be careful with btc because sometimes it can trick you!

I will stay, i need bitcoins in my life because otherwise i get really bored with just sitting on my computer playing the same old games and stuff. I hope everyone here knows that btc is soon to go up and when it does everyone will be happy (except for the people that sold) and we will most likely all profit, good luck people.

I would go with the third option - It doesn't matter whichever side wins. I am going to stay forever as it will neither affect my decision in staying in bitcoins nor will it affect anything to bitcoins itself.

I'm here to stay, doesn't matter which side will win I can just hope everything will be good after, like it is now. And as I see most of people thinks like that, we are interested in btc, and idea around btc, technical things I would leave to technicians to think about, I have more important things to do. I hope bitcoin will win in this argue!

Too late for me to go out though so i'm staying.
If the development is good enough for them, its good enough for me. so I'm staying no matter what happen. Its not just btc that I'm here after all.

That's the right thing to do, as this is not the right time to leave, we are now close to halving, if we have to leave then we can do it after halving, but not at this stage.

Someone understands it.

It matters quite a lot if you can see the bigger picture.

So in the case that a Bank or government ever manages to 'takeover' Bitcoin with their own controversial HF, then the right thing to do is stay? Stop with this ignorant bullshit.

---

Most of these 'I'm staying no matter what' bullshit posts are just spam (there are too many to quote). If you had even put any real thought in the situation you'd never have such a simplistic opinion about it. Of course it matters whether Bitcoin is subject to political coercion or not.

I am going to decide that I am going to stay for a little longer because I am still making some money with Bitcoin. I feel no reason to leave because it is still going good with Bitcoin.
Only if there are signs that say it will be better to leave Bitcoin right now then I will leave.

Supporting the technology primarily ( I support most new technologies that are worth supporting )

If the development teams working on the technology are headed in the right way, then bonus I guess. Otherwise someone will pick up where they left off after no one supports it anymore and will right the wrongs and get it on the proper path.

I would say its more on developers for me... I feel familiar with them lol.
Anyway a strange pool indeed,the first one of its type,really original :)

I will stay because we can see that the price is continue rising and it's helping miners to don't leave/shutdown their mining rigs. IMO if the price is continue rising, mining would still profitable and the miners will don't have a problem to leave their poll.

Yeah and after staying for so long if we prefer to leave at this stage then that is the most stupidest thing to do, as few hours left for halving now, better to stay till then.

i think i will not leave, because i am so much calm and cool. have an element of bearing any kind of condition. on other side i am confident that bitcoin is of the best crypto currency and it will maintain its position.

me too, whatever will happen, whoever will win i will stay with bitcoins in my opinion in order to make big profit in the future, i think in this way i could make some good money if i stay

im always with bitcoin, i think there is no thing that would make me quit it, also i like both core and classic teams so i would be happy either way to be honest and i wouldnt quit

As long as bitcoin can keep its price and user base i will stay with it till the end no matter if it's core or classic.  As long as we are moving forward and gaining more new users then i don't see a problem.  Its good having competition between them anyway or else one side might get lazy and not bother to update or make fixes.

I will stay no matter whatever happens. I think almost 80% of the people on this forum will opt for staying decision.
We wish the development to be good for everyone.

I will stay. I see a lot of potential in it. I see a big future in bitcoin. In just months it can create a big wave that brings us all to a good price. Even a little movement can create a lot of profit. What more with this currency. Better than banks.

Exactly staying with bitcoin forever is the right choice, as at a moment price has started rise and it will be much higher in future which will allow us to make huge profits from it.

If I am to decide, I will choose to stay because of the potential I see in bitcoins. But, it would be best if you will also venture into other digital currencies, like ethereum maybe because of the great future some experts prediction that the amount of ethereum will soar high in the near future. Stay but do not limit yourself into bitcoins only.

i will stay no matter what happens and which side gets their way but i also have some principles that should be met if i want to continue using bitcoin.

for example i would never want some things like decentralization of bitcoin change or many other small things.

I'll stay too, with the price of bitcoin going up it's worth the wait.  I remember it was about $430 when I started.

I think that I am going to stay because the halving is coming soon and we do not what will happen after that maybe the price goes up and rises again.
There is no reason for me right now to leave because the Bitcoin is doing pretty good at the moment.

For me it is going to depend on how this year is going end because I really want the price to be $1000 because I want sell.
If we can reach that amount then I think that I might stay for a little while. 

I'm neither of the two. I will not choose sides. Both of the classic and core miners have made a big contribution to bitcoin mining. It's either classic or core as long as it can mine and functioning that is the most important .

Well, if it looks pleasant enough better do not you leave it, but if you feel a loss, it is better you leave. actually it all depends on how you feel, but if it were me, I probably will not ever go away, because defeat is a valuable lesson

I don't think that anyone would be in loss at this stage as price is higher in compare to last year, so people who bought last year have already made some profits, and if you want to make more than wait for a while.

for any reasons i wont leave bitcoin because price fluctuation is the nature of bitcoin, once it drops and we suffer some loss means the more we can gain next time when price increases.

I will stay in any case, like ordinary person without some big knowledge about programming I see there isn't big deference between clasic and core expect in block size. Maybe there is some other little things but this is like main.
I'm sure developers will make perfect solution for everyone, I know there is some argue about it for now, but I don't see some big problems in that. There will be always difficult questions and heavy answers, that is life. We don't need to make big drama every time when we see some problems. We will always have "some kind" of problems, and we will always have smart peopleto solve it. I don't worry about this thing.

Im pretty sure i would stay here,i love this forum even if i dont know anything about programming like iv4n.
I actually know how trade very well so i would probably do this still as im doing right now.

I don't have any reason to leave this forum, bitcoin is beneficial for me in every aspects, I love it and stay over here as long as it exists.

now need to become confused. i think you should stay. the miners have their own choice. either they want to continue or to leave. it carry no meaning. there are alot of people who will take their place you just continue.

You can't leave the show now. If you do you'll miss the punchline. Why sit through the whole joke only to miss the punchline?

I know that I am going to stay because at the moment I do not see any reason to leave Bitcoin, maybe in the future that will change but not know.
I can still make money with Bitcoin so why would I leave that is just not smart.

Yes and this the best time to collect as many coins as possible as price is not too high at a moment, so collecting now and selling in future is the best strategy to follow.

winning and losing is the part of the game. i does not mean that i will leave the field. i will do stay here and will do fight and i am hopeful that next time i must win.

I am going to stay because at the moment there is no reason for me to be leaving, I can still make money if that is not possible anymore then I am going to leave.
Leaving without any reason is not a smart thing because you are going to miss out some chances.

I really don't have an idea what the changes will be if the original core changes, but i really don't care i guess. It seems most of the people will stay or don't care like me. Not surprised. Those geek conversations are not interesting to most of us. Make it simple, will we lose money or not...? Otherwise, i don't care. :)

Yeah and if we leave at this stage then it can be the worst decision to make and we will definitely regret in future as the future of bitcoin gonna be awesome.

i think it depend on you if you think that next time you can give a better result then you should stay but if you think that  your side cannot sho any change in next round then you should leave.

Don't be in hurry to quit it, if you want to make money from it then you need to give it some time as its not possible to earn huge profits from it overnight.

I will stay  ;)

It really depends if the winning coin still serves my purpose or not. If it no longer does, then I will leave.

As long as bitcoin is Bitcoin I will remain but always like to see new developments happening which is a win-win for the advance of humanity as a whole. I think anyway, not sure if anyone else agrees with me but I like Bitcoin.

I know that I am going to stay for a while because with Bitcoin I am making some extra money and till that fact is going to stay I will not leave Bitcoin.
I will only leave Bitcoin if I cannot make any more money or it will die.

You would  certainly leave  a thing it   you  cant already  get benefits from it but  there are some circumstances that  our intincts  and   hopes would keep us  holing on a  certain thing  because  the trust  and  hope   are still their  and  remains . I would  really  stay in my own opinion.

I thin that I am going to stay for a while because at the moment I do not see a reason on why I should leave Bitcoin because I am still making money with it.
Only if a reason will come by on why I would quit then I would leave Bitcoin.

Yeah this is not the right time to leave in fact its the time to collect as many bitcoins as possible as price is likely to go higher in future so we should stay with it at least for next couple of months.

90% of my capital out

I will prefer to stay as bitcoin has started to rise again and that clearly indicates that we will be experiencing some high price in coming months so will prefer to hold my coins till that point of time.

Exactly this. So for my case, if a bigblock bitcoin clone would succeed in destroying decentralization, privacy and/or fungibility, the ensueing "Bitcoin" will not be the Bitcoin I once chose to support. So in that case I will sell the few coins I have and leave.

Luckily, regardless of the massive propaganda and smear campaigns lead by the government and bank loving bigblock-fanatics Andresen, Hearn and Ver, the sanity and intelligence of Core developers has prevailed over the irresponsible and outright dangerous incompetence of the proponents of the XT, Classic and Unlimited-Altcoins.

So hopefully most of the bigblock trolls will leave soon and that the quality of discussion in this forum will improve again.

ya.ya.yo!

i secondly agree with you....sure!!!

I am will full trust with bitcoin and definitely I would stay through thick and thin and I am just lucky that the current market of bitcoin is growing, this is a good sign that we can achieve a massive adoption in the future due to the growing number of users and demand of bitcoins, that can be determine by the way the market behaves.

Yeah bitcoin is growing at a moment and we can expect the same behavior in future too so I don't think it will be smart enough to quit bitcoin at this stage as it will give us more profits in future if we stay for a long time.

A majority of things gain value over time, unless it is a car or fiat money of course. It is always best to make more and do more the earlier you can, because it means you'll have more value than another person overall who starts later than you. If you want evidence of this, just look at account values on this forum. A well-aged account can net around $100, along with a lot more earning potential, while a newbie or member account is regarded as common or "meh" in value.

We have been waiting since long to see the higher price of bitcoin and now we are very closed to it so leaving at this stage doesn't make any sense, a true believer of bitcoin will prefer to stay with it for a long time.

For me, Im still holding my bitcoin since this gives me huge
profit. As long bitcoin is still alive and im still earning though.
Im not leaving it and ill continue what Ive been doing like
trading just to earn from bitcoin.

That's right till its helping us in earning extra money from it I think we should continue with it as whatever we manage to collect at a moment will be holding much more higher value in future.

I know that I am going to stay for a little longer even tho the bitcoin is stable for such a long time but i still want to see what is going to happen with in 2017
If I see that we are going to go nowhere at that moment maybe I then will quit bitcoin.

I think we have waited long to see the best price of bitcoin and now we are getting closer and closer to it so I think it will be good if we manage to have some patience and can hold our coins for some more time.

The bitcoin price usually rise by the end of the year. This year might not be an exception. So the price is rising.
