What problems? I see none.

Foundation is a big no, and satoshi doesn't need to come back (even if she could).

That would be horrible.

Nothing more than an appeal to authority at its finest. You should not 'trust' anyone in a decentralized, open-source project. These currencies are not supposed to be based on trust.

A decentralized crypto-currency is not supposed to have any kind of leader whatsoever.

You mean like the smartcontracts that everyone will be obsessed about at the time of financial collapse? ETH has not solved scalability either (technically you can't solve this), and sidechains are already available in Bitcoin.

Considering that the administration has not commented on the presented proposals (example here) which intend to make spamming harder, I doubt that we are going to see something like an 'ignore all' button. It might be worth looking into DannyHamilton's list which has about ~1900 users.

Due to the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, nobody can represent it. If they were able to, then it would not be decentralized anymore.

Very few people think that we do. I disagree with it though, Bitcoin does not need a leader of any kind.

He's doing quite a lot; there's no need to increase his current workload.

It did.

Correct. The point of it is that nobody in their right mind would run it.

Are you referring to blocks greater than 1 MB in Core, or a controversial HF?

Core has agreed to nothing. You can't blame the open-source project for your lack of comprehension.

While I do not prefer reading PDF books, I've went though the PDF copy last night and it looks very well. I can't say that I have something that is worth complaining. Well done!

Could you take some pictures? What are your impressions? Are you satisfied with it? I'm very curious since I'll have to wait a while for mine.

TBF is a bad joke and needs to remain in the ground.

He did no such thing. You can't "take over Bitcoin".

There is no "CEO of this ship".

No.

Possibly, but not necessarily.

Well, technically you could make it safe if you:
1) Use an encrypted E-mail service that does not have access to your stuff (even in the case of a hack).
2) Encrypt the keys themselves with a good password.

The chances of your email being the target of a hack and the chances of them breaking through both encryption (assuming that good passwords were used) are very slim (near impossible). However, the general rule is to not store anything related to your Bitcoin wallet on any service connected to the internet.

That makes no sense.

No it doesn't. Satoshi, unlike many of the 'bitcoiners' here, was not led by greed.

Nothing surprising there, weak hands, i.e. sheep.

No, that doesn't even make sense. Even if all assumptions were correct, that would be a irrational action.

Do you need a tinfoil hat?

Hopefully I will get this right the third time (reported both posts):

One really needs to prepare for the amount of threads that people are going to open on the same topic. There were/are several threads on this very speculative event.

That is a reasonable expectation.

I'd suggest that you invest those Bitcoin into English lessons.

Yet another person led by greed.

You can only use it at remote service as the merchant adoption is very low in comparison to Bitcoin. The idea behind ETH was never to use it as a currency.

You definitely seem mistaken.As far as I know,total supply of ETH is limited to 80,371,370.66.

Why would he be mistaken if ETH is going to transition to POS? POS effectively means infinite supply.

Wrong. It depends on both the supply and demand.

This is just a FUD attempt against status quo. Brian will try just about anything to get his way at this point, but it isn't working. Coinbase is positioning itself for profit; they don't care which currency is at the top.

Nothing has changed aside from 'controversial HF groups' trying to attack Bitcoin in different ways now.

Assuming that you're asking how to invest them, and not spend them (as you could buy anything that you need) follow the steps below:
Step 1) Don't ask random people on the internet for such advice (like this thread).
Step 2) Only use the amount that you are willing to lose.
Step 3) Start with what interests you the most.

It's a big amount for a lot of people, and most of the users here don't have access to that much money.

Corrected.

What a joke. ETH is based on the speculative premise that smart contracts are important and will have value. Surely once disaster strikes, everyone will ignore the save-heaven and rush into ETH because of these contracts. At least we know who is behind the ETH pump ("coinbase blog").

I've completely missed out on this. How come that there were no Classic supporters talking about it?

You're wasting your time with that guy. According to him, I'm in Blockstream's PR department.  

Tu je prisutan "self-regulating cycle": Rudarenje se ne isplati -> mali mineri prestanu s rudarenjem -> hashrate pada -> rudarenje je opet profitabilno. Tu uvijek najlosije produ ljudi s malim kapitalom, te oni koji nemaju pristup jeftinoj struji (sto je slucaj Hrvatske).

Znaju da zaborave to ljudi kada kupuju skuplje stvari s interneta. [1]

Update: [1] Nisam nuzno govorio za EU 'trgovine'.

Bitcoin handles around ~3TPS on average, which equals to 1800 transactions per ten minutes or ~259 000 transactions per day. Now let's factor this in:

Even if we assume that 1 000 000 000 people only do 1 transaction daily with an average size of 1/2 KB (realistically the average might be closer to 1KB):
We get 500 000 000 KB per day, i.e. 500 GB per day. Now you have to divide this by 144 (number of blocks per day) and you end up with ~3.5 GB blocks for just 1 TX per person per day. It is clear that this is a distant future if we focus on on-chain scaling. However, there are secondary layer solutions being built that will help accommodate a lot more users.

That must be something on your end (probably bad fee), as I have never experienced anything like that.

Nobody can really tell you anything specific as there are a lot of assumptions and we are practically in the space of baseless speculation.

There might be; we don't know, ergo we are speculating.

Yes, but it isn't really easy to lose the trace of the 'owner' unless they flush them out via a mixer, services (e.g. gambling) or exchanging into altcoin.

That was not my intention. With 'worse' I meant the potential consensus on a decision (which is more difficult while we are in a stalemate).

Correct.

Segwit is coming independent from LN. Segwit isn't far away and is definitely not going to take longer (at this point) than a properly designed HF would.
