Is it not a tad pathetic that at this stage of the game it's still necessary to scrabble around with popularity contests like this? Especially when shite I've never heard of is massively outgunning it.

Its not confidence in alts, its confidence in whales my friend. When btc take a break, they can earn money with alts, x10 in btc is harder than x40 in alts. We are old, we know it
Indeed, but there comes a point where it's an emperor's new clothes situation. A two billion dollar Dash is just about convincing enough to the mugs on exchanges without needing to actually achieve anything. Ten or twenty billion dollars does kind of need a little bit of a reason to justify itself or you wind up with everyone thinking 'hang on' and then it all collapses. Maybe I'm now a man out of time but I don't see how much further you can take pure hot air.

This leaves ‘store if value’ as possibly the only use for Bitcoin.
It was always the most logical use. No usable currency deflates, that's baked into BTC. Capacity is still extremely limited. Fees were always going to be an inevitability. Store of value is by far the most powerful use case anyway.

i will sell all my bitcoins at $7400
and will buy the shit out of alts
ETH, LTC, DASH, XRP... many cheap coins Weird there's still so much confidence in alts. There was a sea change in their behaviour when they ate the world this year. They have nothing to show for it really. Has Dash made the world a better place? Maybe there'll be a sea change back when Bitcoin whups their pert arses back into line.

So 3-4 days away from the thread beginning and it's now less than $200 away from achieving the figure the OP tells us is not possible. Classic copper bottomed Bitcointalk noob know it all fail timing. Just another of thousands who came before.
Even if it doesn't this time around, it will at some point in the next weeks and months.

Well, I guess another fruitful November is on the cards and it's still the 1st where I'm at. This time around I hope the aftermath is a bit more cheerful.

It's possible. I think the appetite is there for further major explosiveness. Part of me hopes it doesn't though because that type of gain in that short a time usually adds up to a very lengthy hangover.
It's very easy to believe the salad days will last forever when you're up your neck in it. We all know that can't last.

Here we are, 6666.6
Yaay!
666 was hideously sticky. I suppose I could live with it clinging to 6666 but adding another 6 eventually sounds better.

£5000 for you gorgeous Brits.

There would need to be less inflation and much, much, much more adoption and real usage. It would have to have grown beyond being something that's nothing more than speculation.
I'd say for some reasonable and sustained stability the price would have to be in the hundreds of thousands and distribution would need to be much wider too. I think it'll take decades before it's a reality.

You mixed me with some other guy. My only account on this forum is alekad.
How do you feel about people of the Jewish faith?

I think it's pointless comparing super computers to BTC's computing. BTC computing is a one trick idiot savant that can't do anything else.

Bitpay has indicated that it might enable functionality for bitcoincash and other alts if segwit2x doesn't materialise. So they will cope with the backlogs and fees by allowing users to bypass bitcoin and enable alts.
Yet Segwit is sitting there waiting to be utilised. It doesn't require any disruption, financing, complaining, manoeuvring. It's ready. More capacity, lower fees. They've indicated nothing about integrating it. That says plenty about their position, or rather daddy Bitmain's.

If the original one doesn't I'm going to be seriously annoyed. I bought one just for XEM. It's still sitting there unopened.

https://preorder.trezor.ioThe Trezor 2 is coming in January. It looks dead cool. I can't help but wonder what vulnerabilities might yet be uncovered with any hardware wallet. I know it's a long shot but there's always something waiting to be uncovered. With a paper wallet created in the right way there is no attack vector conceivable.

Segwit2x is going to happen. There is no problem on that. Big blockers have their BCH but another big part of Free miners are already locked in to segwit2x. Don't worry everything is going to be good
Locked in where? Where's the thoroughly vetted software to lock in with? Signalling means sod all. The only things that counts is allocating actual mining grunt. I haven't seen any statements about that from anyone. There are people still signalling proposals that have been dead for years.

Do I believe I'm superior to women? Yes sir I do. I am less cruel, more responsible and more trustworthy than any woman I've ever met. Same goes for men as well of course. They're shit too.
When I do meet one who beats me in those aspects then I'll demand to get hitched. Until then I'll stay superior.

https://blog.nem.io/hot-cold-wallet/NEM cold mobile wallet that can be used to send/receive fund easily. Need to use two mobile devices. 1) Create-sign app on never connected to Internet mobile device - to create the transaction and sign it with private key. 2) Broadcast app on regular mobile - to broadcast the transaction to the NEM network. This means a user has the security of an offline cold storage but that they can actually send and receive XEM. This is thanks to NEM's powerful APIs and tiered architecture designed from the ground up with 100% new code. This is actually guite amazing! Very nice to see more secure options for storing NEM coming around. I'm still hoping for the trezor impelementation to become official and supported on the trezor web interface though. Coolio. However cold storage is for large amounts. The NEM android wallet doesn't have the most inspiring reviews and this is telling us to use this set up at our own risk. Think I'll wait for Trezor myself. XEM does not have support team at poloniex
to hold the price ......that is the reason of dump
ETH coin and other big coins
have these poloniex support team which put fake buy wall to hold the price
Not sure I want to bother with a coin that requires artificial life support. Let the chips fall where they may. If it's good enough it'll get there in the end.
