So well said.
As segwit tx percentage increases we see more and more benefits from effective block size.
The rhetoric is still around 1mb blocks from many people which is just totally not true.
The 2x campaign was based on a false dilemna - "2x or bitcoin will never scale".
Bitcoin does need to scale. In the future.
There will be many opportunities and solutions.
The key is they need to be based on consensus not bullying by one group with an ulterior to control the bitcoin brand.
Now I expect the old "coffee debate" arguments and "L2 problems" arguments will intensify.
Certain people seem to have a need to constantly find a future problem and pretend it has to be done NOW with their solution.

Great, thanks I'll pm you so we can speak.
In the meantime I am finding discovery a real challenge.
There doesn't seem to be somewhere that lists all coins with data on date, hashrate, markets etc.
I have been looking one by one.
I was thinking about using APIs but there is still a lot of data missing.
Any suggestions guys for profiling?

Yes. Already the overcrowding and the difficulty in raising will hopefully slow down scammers trying to get into the space.
It will take a few months for effect though.
I think by mid 2018 we should see a more balanced approach to ICOs

The question is where regulation comes from.
The more that we impose best practices and reduce the level of scams the better regulation will be for everyone.
If we do nothing as a community then the regulation will be draconian.

I agree.
There is also a huge failure among many of these "experts" to distinguish between new people speculating and believers who know it is a true store of value.
Just because some new people came to the market speculating does not mean everyone holding or buying bitcoin is speculating.

I agree that Bitcoin will go up.
I agree that it could collapse.
I don't agree that it is only "speculative interest". Bitcoin has clear and proven use cases for money and SOV.

Does anyone remember when the conference in Johannesburg is?
Have a link?

Who is going to the ICO event in Amsterdam.
I'm thinking of going.

I was looking at the new Slovenia event.
I've attended a lot of your events and spoken at them including Prague, Kiev and Estonia.
I would like to know if Slovenia will have a lot of english speakers attending?

There is also the blockshow Asia in Singapore 29,30 November

If this is still relevant I know someone in the area that may be able to help

I have something else set for that weekend but I'm trying to move it so i can attend

I agree.
Too much being ascribed to what actually doesn't mean anything.

There are many useless coins and many terrible ICOs but this is another example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
That does not mean that ALL are scams are useless.
ICO is a great tool.
We just have to learn how to use it

Expect this to keep edging up as we approach the fork.
The real test will be post fork

I don't agree.
Commodity can be a store of value in fact often is.
Look at gold.
Gold is not money today.
The thing about bitcoin is that it is both at the same time.
In a way that nothing else is.

The majority of exchanges only list a fraction of coins anyway.
So I guess the question is when is an ICO no longer considered an ICO?

Also since it is so new and so many mainstream avenues not involved yet we need to factor these in.
Every major addition creates a push on demand whether it is a large retailer of like CME from this week.
Those are incredibly difficult to quantify

Are you looking to promote someone on your signature or setup a campaign for someone to promote your product?

I don't know if Amazon will actually accept or not but this looks much more like protecting their brand and traffic.
I don't think these domains are to accept crypto but rather prevent someone from registering the domains and capitalizing on their brand and the news
