Why make the decision for the user, there's an ignore button that's just as useful, unless of course s/he manages to get another noob to quote him/her.
This is why DaRude. This is why. I would have to put everyone that quotes him on ignore too, which would be like half the people here... If you can abstract away all his PM shilling and antisemitism then it is not unusual that he brings sound arguments. I think as a smart person you should be objective and open to sound arguments that go against your opinions. You're giving him/her too much credit. When it's like a broker record with 50% of posts pushing PMs, 25% about how crypto currency is not decentralized, and 20% about killing jews, i really don't feel like sifting through all that crap searching for that remaining 5% |

This doesn't have typical Ver and the Co. dumping feel. They're not doing huge market sells, but rather a stepped approach to maximize the profits  Ver and Co. has unlimited funds as long as BTC continues to go up, if they already cashed out in this price range there are no more to sell perhaps this might be the reason mempool is going down  |

When I first showed back up you gently, but firmly, advised me not to feed the troll.
I'm here to return the favor.
I'm done. By confronting the troll directly and him not directly answering my question, I think anyone else reading this thread will understand that he's just wasting people's time. But I ask you this then in return, why has he not been perma-banned from the WO thread? Or at least his posts deleted, if we ALL can agree that he's just a troll? Why should we all suffer this idiot whilst he constantly spams the WO thread with his drivel? i second that. infofront, ban him. Why make the decision for the user, there's an ignore button that's just as useful, unless of course s/he manages to get another noob to quote him/her. |

Explain how I can securely send gold or silver across the world for payment without any friction/transaction fee or middleman to have to trust, or GTFOOH you idiot.
Trolllololol Lol. Not only did you NOT answer my question, you redirected it toward complete garbage. Classic straw man fallacy response. You need to go back to Troll school. They don't even teach this stupid tactic anymore because people see right through it. Trololol No you didn't. ANSWER. THE. FUCKING. QUESTION. IN. BOLD. ABOVE. OR. GTFO. Why are you feeding trolls? Are you trying to get on ignore list too? |

How does it feel to know that the whole Bcash one trick pony can loose most of its market cap the second Core feels that the benefit of raising the blocksize to 2mb outweighs the risk? That's their worst case scenario, and by the time 2mb is spammed to hell and people start bitchin' again LN should be right around the corner.
It is that fear that keeps me from shifting more of my BTC holdings to BCH. I believe that if BTC cannot raise the block size limit in the medium-term (3 - 12 months) then BCH will fully take its place as the dominant crypto. However, if BTC is able to raise the block size limit, I could see BCH dying. But I think the political machine that BS/Core built to prevent the block size limit from being lifted will come back to bite them. Why won't all the same arguments against a block size limit be used again? If BTC tries to increase the limit, will this result in yet another fork and another form of Bitcoin (e.g., will this next fork have replay protection or not)? Will that really work? Or will people just decide that BCH is the solution for lower fees and more reliable confirmation times? That would depend on Ver's pockets. If they're deep enough for BCH to come close to say ~40% and sustain it for meaningful period of time, that would put enough pressure on core to implement Segwit2x but on their terms and with their deadlines. If BCH stays at around ~10% they'll just hold out till the LN goes live. 2mb block would most certainly create another fork and with all of the money on the table you can be sure that there will be a well sponsored 1mb group to divide the community as much as possible. In any case i don't see any future for BCH once LN goes live, who would in their right minds pick a risky 0 block confirms over guaranteed instant LN? TL;DR Whatever market share BTC looses now to people who want low fees right meow would come right back once LN goes live. If BCH manages to put enough pressure on BTC they'll just bump the blocks to 2mb to hold off until LN goes live. In no scenario i see BCH still being a significant player once LN is out. |

I have done all this to date as a volunteer because I love bitcoin and hope to see it change the world for the better.
Do you honestly think that the motives of Jihan Wu and Roger Ver are to change the world for the better? Really? Have you followed their actions and their modus operandi? And you have decided to side with them and support Bcash? If that is true, then I'm afraid you are self-disrespecting your own achievements. It's sad, really... I communicate directly with both of them, have met both in person and had lengthy discussions with each. I believe they love Bitcoin for the same three reasons I do: 1. The technology behind bitcoin is interesting and novel; Satoshi solved a long-standing problem in computer science. 2. The adoption of Bitcoin would change the world for the better, by giving us a better form of money. 3. The potential to earn of a huge amount of money. How does it feel to know that the whole Bcash one trick pony can loose most of its market cap the second Core feels that the benefit of raising the blocksize to 2mb outweighs the risk? That's their worst case scenario, and by the time 2mb is spammed to hell and people start bitchin' again LN should be right around the corner. |

Speaking of forks, super bitcoin is done and trading, current value around $280 (coinmarketcap). These forks are kind of nuts, and what surprises me the most is that they all have a decent value. I was just looking at this page http://pieifo.com/pages/endefault.html and look how many are coming up. It's crazy, but, if they all have a decent value I won't be complaining  Da faq is super bitcoin |

Looks like the money of BCH is being moved to BTC again. Guess the pump is over.
Confirmed, seems like they stopped spamming the mempool too. Please put put your seats in the upright position and prepare for takeoff |

Who would actually be stupid enough to actually buy Bcash? lol
Some time ago, I traded a large percentage of my BTC for BCH. Since then, my BCH is up 12x. From that time, my BTC is up too. By a whole 6x. Stupid indeed. I'd ask you to do the math, but you may be too busy calling others stupid to be able to compute 6 into 12. lol good one! I meant stupid in the sense of it being a relatively useless and absolute dead end coin. In light of its inevitable future one would have to be stupid to actually have it and believe in it. But nonetheless, congratulations on your short term profit. Dump that shit soon, though. Some time ago, I invested in dogecoin. Since then, my DOGE was up 20x when i sold. Can you please do the maths on how doge is superior to your bcash  |

This feels bottomish, are bcash pumps starting to run low?

They better pony up by 1-1-18.
Watching Roger and Co. attempting to keep Bcash at 10% of bitcoin when it's rocketing is almost as entertaining in itself. He'd be so much more dangerous now had he not jumped the gun. |

its altcoin season you know, because in its current state btc is unusable! in what intellectual bubble are you guys chilling? going long on mempool?
Or we are "seasoned" crypto investors, and are not ADHD kids that can't plan/see more than 6months in advance. You know...cause you want it riiight meow! |

This seems legit, Coinbase made an ACE move with this. Let's sink this in; Coinbase+Lightning.   hxxps://www.lightningramp.com/ Cert provided by letsencrypt? Yeeah definitely scam |

I'm still waiting on my gox withdrawal. That chart brings back bad memories.  i'm waiting on Midas to go online and put an end to all of this lag and thats when they'll list LTC too!!! Hear that they already got the LTC API ticker up  |

We're retargeting up by 18% in about 12hrs https://fork.lol/pow/retarget So frequency of mined blocks will go down by about that much. Meaning mempool and fees are going up short term. This is also the time when BTC is most vulnerable from that vector so if someone would start spaming this would be the time. tl;dr next 24hrs are critical |

I keep reading about how precious metals are so much better than cryptocurrencies, and it saddens me to see so much anachronism and old-time mentality here in this thread (I wonder why those posts are posted here...).
They are the best form of money, but that would only be useful if governments recognized gold and silver as money - as they used to. However governments use fiat, and both PMs and crypto are better than fiat. When fiat becomes 100% digital, with the banning of cash, at that point the entry/exit point from PMs will become problematic (not for institutional investors, but for the average joe - who won't be able to buy or sell even 1 ounce without big brother knowing it, taxing it, or preventing it). Cryptocurrencies will thus be complementary to PMs when fiat goes 100% digital. It'll be like this: Metals <=> Cryptos <=> fiat Why would i spend my crypto on those elements then? What's the confirmation time to transport it? What about security, how would i generate a seed from this pile of Au? |

because otherwise you would sell all of your bitcoin and invest in bcash
Oh but I have. I hold much more Bitcoin Cash than Bitcoin Segwit. But that is really irrelevant. Do you hold any stocks? Bonds? T-Bills? Dollars? If you are so sure that Bitcoin Segwit is the be-all and end-all, why do you own anything but? Not that I find this a valid line of reasoning; I am just turning your words around on you. and participate in the bcash discussions
I regularly participate in Bitcoin Cash discussions. What makes you think that I do not? ... and you just want to complain about bitcoin,
No. I want to alert about the weaknesses of Bitcoin Segwit. ... No, but see, it's very relevant, and this is exact point that you seem to miss or err pretend to not realize. So let me try to spell it out for n00bs that might be getting confused by all of this Bcash shilling, if JJG held minority of his assets in stocks/bonds/t-bills, yet spent MAJORITY of his time on those boards saying how they're all idiots and it will collapse, that would be, now say it with me, yes, trolling, and no, by saying that he's just trying to alert those stock/bond brokers of the weakness of their system wouldn't make it any less trolling. Now shoo under the bridge you go |
