... and there we have it. The first in the much predicted new round of attacks on bitcoin.

'oh that shit ain't fungible, see, so what we really need is a NEW bitcoin, let's call it BitcoinAnonymous', fork off from ghastly corecoin and rule the world ... anybody?'

No, fuck off, it's fungible and there's no taint or title in bitcoin.

Bitcoin, like any so-called crypto currency, is the old like world scheme of Ponzi. Only in the new high-tech pack.

Want an example? You are welcome:

1. Assume that all people in the world convert half of their savings from ordinary national currencies to crypto-currencies. What does it mean? This means that the producers of crypto-currency, received half of the world's volume of national currencies - half of the total world currency bascet.

2. After a while, the fictitious value of investments in crypto-currencies increased 4-fold (as we see in the case of Bitcoin and the mass of other crypto-currencies). What does it mean? This means that now, every person in the world, reasonably expects to receive in exchange for his crypto currency (as a return on his genius) in 4 times more volume of the national currency.

3. Let's assume that all these people, at the same time, decide to fixed their investment profit-to exchange their crypto-currencies that went up four times, (if they take profit in the form ordinary national currencies).
All of them expect to receive now 4 times more national currency than they used to, they spent on buying crypto-currencies.

QUESTION: Where does this whole currency come from? From producers or producers of crypto-currency? But they simply do not have such volumes of ordinary currency, and never were. Because, previously selling the Crypto currency, in exchange for the usual currency, the organizers and the receivers only received the initial value of the crypto currency in the usual currency. Which was at the time of the transaction only - 1/4 of the amount of currency, which is now payable to all owners of the crypto currency.

CONCLUSION: Bitcoin, like any so-called crypto currency, is the old world scheme of Ponzi. Where each participant can receive a gain of the investments only one way - due to those new participants who have entered this pyramid later.

bitcoin cash is quite nice

segwit seems like a trojan horse to me and i don't like the idea of off-chain txs (lightning network)

I can certainly agree with the bolded sentence. And we don't know the level of support and consensus until the experiment is run. Fact is, in roughly coterminous timeframes, all Bitcoiners will be forced to choose between: Change A to Bitcoin; or Change B to Bitcoin. No option for Unchanged Bitcoin. So get off your high horse. If one is an alt before the fact, then so is the other.

Cheers!

We are all going to die... sometime.

OP sounds like he wants to invest not trade? I would say putting his christmas and birthday money into bitcoin is a sound idea especially since it would prevent him from spending it on things he will probably never need anyway. Its not like he is thinking to use money he can't afford to lose as some people have been doing.

And how much profit would I be able to make within half a year or so?

Don't trade. Get a student job and buy Coins every month with your earned Money. That is what I did from 2014 till now.

So what, you think that after 5 weeks of constant down and this dip to 1830 was the "first selloff" of a much larger, protracted bull run? And that $100B is just sitting on the sidelines waiting for SegWit2X approval so they can come pouring in and run this thing up to $5000+ by EOY?

Really? That would be a nice dream. That's exactly what people thought in 2013 too, after the first crash and bounce back up to ~$980.

I don't really care... I'm hedged with a huge future stash, as well as a good amount of fiat to buy more at the very bottom, so I win either way it goes.

But I'll go on record right now saying that I think $2980 was this year's top. And that by Feb. 2018, I think we'll see around the ~$1600 mark.

Just remember kids, never in Bitcoin's history has there been a double top where the second top went higher than the first.

Ethereum getting hacked, bitcoin getting Segwit, looking good...
I feel comfortable enough in my current position that I am not going to buy in extra.   This lack of greed is probably a good indication that we will actually jump higher still.

Notice the rise in Altlandia.

This was primarily a massive Altlandia bull trap. Crypto personalities on yt are going nuts, doubling down with both hands.

They're gonna get burned again.

Well, the problem is nobody knows what $500k can buy you after 3 years!

so AGAIN a proposal
