pahahaha

OP is butthurt. Did Bob Surplus take a shit on you or what's the deal with this thread?

choose the lesser evil?

I demand good distribution in a coin else i am not interested at all. Bitcoin sucks too because of greedy satoshi of course.


If you look for fair distributed coins you'll see: it's maybe 5 or 6 of them around - bitcoin is not one of them.

should be the year of altcoins.

new possibilites for exploits, new possiblities to spam the blockchain, further blockchain bloat - thus making one of bitcoins most serious problems even worse.
It's a stupid idea to implement that into bitcoin especially without  testing  it in an altcoin before. Complete BS from my perspective.

If it ever were a success (i doubt it) - it would be implemented in a lot of altcoins too, thus no big deal at all.

Dogecoin will probably be the first alt to implement that too... it's just exposing bitcoin to more risk, that's all.

Normally innovation should be tested in an alt before implementing into bitcoin. In case  of sidechain the morons obviously want to test it in bitcoin before altcoins will copy. So i have no idea what's actually happening and who is making the decisions.

If there's no consensus on it won't happen anyways because the hardfork of btc which would be required could easily backfire and end bitcoin right there. I don't know though if the network is centralised enough and they can just do a few deals in the backroom to change bitcoin however they want already. So maybe mining in btc is already centralised enough they can change it however they like. The sidechain-thing could easily reveal that.

I see sidechains as a threat to bitcoin and not a threat to alts tbh.

sidechains is bullshit and could easily turn bitcoin into a shitcoin.
I suggest the contrary: diversify in alts until then and wait it out about 6 to 10 months in case the experiment with bitcoin goes wrong. There is high probability sidechains create some serious trouble for bitcoin.


Sidechains will turn out to be: either no big deal or a negative impact on btc.
In any case: It won't be more disruptive than NXT already was and in no way end alts - quite the opposite.

you buy it: they create more

buy only established  coins now. Raise the fucking bar!

can you idiots not necrobump a thread of last year?

no they can't replace it because the Bitshare stuff is trust based so not good to sink large amounts of money into it.

-traders and speculators will not use it if it's not volatile and that's currently 80% to 90% of the money in bitcoin

- the high volatility comes from the high inflation.

Decentralised low inflation coins (with reduced volatility) which are trustless stand a chance to get a shot imo - not the bitshares-crap though.

this is true until it's not

doomsday prepper shouldn't care about this shit.
They normally aren't the air-heads you find around this forum.
They buy real stuff not las vegas dreams like bitcoin.

lol. You're just a corrupt fag fanboy. That's all. Looking for fools to sell to at peak. lol

Massive hypocrit detected. Buy yourself some spine with your ripple.

would be no surprise. I still refuse to buy that shit. Bitcoin is dead too. I  wait for my black swan to appear.
Ripple pump just confirms the fail that bitcoin is due to high inflation.

now everyone has lost their mind 

now we approached the point where the mods run wild.

All bitcoin criticism is now banned from the forum. Only haleluja and hurray for bitcoin allowed now because it's failing so rapidly.

This is news of last weeks.

This week:
bitcoiners move into ruble as bitcoin tanks.

bump this

marketcap is so low, merchant adoption is an issue for later. Right now needs investors. Merchant adoption later. Meow.
