Buying in XRP is like buying crypto fiat. Who would do that in hopes of making money?
This thing is simply undergoing yet another pump and dump. We have seem many in the last week, this is another one which will be over soon.

OP should update this list. Litecoin has more than 53% now. I think it's not going to be enough with f2pool, it only needs a couple pools more to activate, since the activation it's at 75%.

Its great to see a lot of people talking about why gambling is so addictive. I would have guessed that this was clear already, but let's make it clear if its not:
Gambling is addictive because it triggers certain parts of the brain and some people are more proe to react to those chemical reactions more than others, it's as simle as that.

Litecoin prices surged nearly 70% yesterday, ending months of stagnant market activity. According to the data, most of the trading has taken place on Poloniex, OKCoin and Huobi. As of today, Litecoin 24 hour volume is greater than Ethereum by nearly 20%.
That's a simple pump from bitcoin traders. I don't think if the SegWit adoption will give a lot for the litecoin itself. Some say this is due to the efforts to integrate segregated witness (segwit) with Litecoin. Others say that traders are simply chasing possible gains in the altcoin markets.
No, a lot of the bitcoin traders are tired of seeing a lot of the politics wars on the bitcoin ecosystem right now. The blocksize debate just gives a noisy sound. Massive migration by the bitcoin traders on a lot of kind of altcoins. What is your opinion on this? Do you think both Bitcoin and Litecoin will get segwit integration? How will this affect their prices? Which one will get segwit integration first: Bitcoin or Litecoin?
Litecoin will the first SegWit adoption. It will not give a lot of the impact for the litecoin price. This just a short term pump. I can see Litecoin pumping hard if SegWit is activated, since SegWit activation for Bitcoin is next to impossible, and Litecoin seems like the nearest Bitcoin alternative to enjoy the benefits of SegWit. It's only around 20% tho. |

Sometimes small investments pay off. If you bought 5 dollars worth of BTC in 2009 you would be rich now. Of course, that would have required a lot of luck too.

It would be cool to have a thread here to talk about the bet that Loaded and Roger Ver are (maybe) doing. This is one of the biggest bets in history. We are talking about 60,000 BTC, potentially 140,000 BTCs. I believe BTC will win because BU is a total disaster and it will crash, so people will dump BTU for BTC. Do you think Roger Ver will take this bet? he has not signed his BTCs yet.

The altcoin market is a bit like gambling. You can make a living off buying cheap cryptos and then waiting for them to go to the moon, sometimes people get rich like that and its great, but requires luck such as gambling.

Very risky to buy now. This may be the peak... or this may be the beginning of an huge %5000+ pump... who knows?
I think im not going to risk it.

Forget %100, let's get rich.
What's the next %1000 increase coin?
We saw Bitcoin Plus go %3000, so what stops the whales megapumping another coin? If it was done once then it can be done again.
Will it be LTC? another one? let's find out.

Segwit needs 95% approval from miners(never going to happen) and only solves blocksize issues short term.
Segwit solves it long term because it enables for proper Lightning Network usage, which is the only way to scale to mainstream levels. |

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/61sim7/i_am_stepping_down_as_a_moderator_of_rbtc_and/This is actually a very good read so I encourage bitcoin users on both sides of the Core/BU divide to digest it. I've leaned Core myself, but have exactly the same thoughts on his scenarios 1 and 2. Not surprisingly given his R/BTC affiliation he's more pessimistic than I about scenario 3 (Segwit wins), but that matters little as long as its hard to imagine Segwit seeing the light of day. I'd point out, though, that Segwit does alleviate the immediate TX pressure, and even if TX pressure continued at current levels that would not kill bitcoin - only throttle it. But I'm inclined to agree with singularity87 (the author/mod at the link) that even such throttling may be enough to "kill" bitcoin in the sense that Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin in network effect, leading to the "Flippening." (A period of rapid change as people realize bitcoin supremacy is a lost cause and flee to Ethereum in droves.) So the challenge for diehard bitcoin supporters is how to avoid this outcome. Who cares about some admin of some subreddit? Everyone on that subreddit is a sore losser anyway. Segwit remains the best solution, the only people not agreeing are trolls such as franky1, which pretend to know how to read code better than every expert that agrees on it being the best solution. |

Hello, a few days ago I saw a post in the alts section announcing bitcoin unlimited for 1st of april.
Now HitBTC exchange announced they have a first deadline for a possible fork on 31st of march.
Besides that I have seen very little indication saying a fork could happen so soon.
Does anyone have a clue if that could even be possible?
Im just HOPING sanity reings and the fork does not happen. If it happens, we will go back in time like 3 years. It will be Mt Gox 3.0. We will need several years to recover from the big BUgcoin disaster. BUgcoin will organically die since it doesn't work and the devs are shit, Core will win again, but we will nonetheless go back in time, all for nothing. Lets just hope BUgcoin goes irrelevant but china-funded miners apparently are looking forward to kill bitcoin and nothing else. I think it will be OK tho. |

Why doesn't Core release an update that includes Segwit AND a block size increase? It seems that this is the only thing that both sides would eventually cave to and agree on, that way companies needing Segwit will be able to do business and we can get a larger block size. With such a division being created, it's going to be hard to get an agreement at all unless there's something met in the middle.
Also, if Segwit works, which they think it does, then increasing the block size won't matter because not all the block size will be used. So what's the prob?
One of the arguments is that miners will get a higher fee with smaller blocks. If the miners are wanting larger blocks with BU, obviously they don't care about getting higher fees.
Because segwit fixes the quadratic hashing problem, so segwit first, then a blocksize increase later once we have seen the behaviour of the network under segwit. All experts tend to agree:  http://bitcoinist.com/nick-szabo-bitcoin-censorship-resistance/But that is not the main problem, the main problem is, BUcoiners are trolls that just want to destroy Core at all costs (not realizing the entire thing will be destroyed in the process). So, even if Core sat down in a table with the miners and offered them a package of SW+2MB increase, Jihan Wu would reject it. They will reject anything Core does, and they hate the idea of the LN because they think they will get less money from it. Case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JarEszFY1WYBruce Fenton asked Jake (BU guy who filled in after Roger left) "is there anything Core can do to change your mind and get you to support the efforts of Core?" He responded "no". Bruce continued, "Even if Core advocated exactly what BU is advocating as a scaling solution?" He again responded "No". This reminded me of Ken Ham's response to Bill Nye when he was asked if there was any evidence that could possibly convince him to change his mind, and Ham said no, because he values a strict adherence to his faith over reason. My point is that Ver has essentially created an anti-core cult. Bitcoin Jesus, indeed. We are dealing with trolls and brainwashed cultists at this point. |

The fame whores.
This will not happen, it is just fame that they want and it is being bitten by people.
McGregor wants to be known to cover up his lost. Pfft. This two will not fight and McGregor is way to far to get the fight that he want. Mayweather won't risk his clean record just for him.
In the eyes of Mayweather ,Conor is an amateur and never had a professional debut in boxing but he is making huge amount of money and a fight with him means he could earn almost half a billion in revenue and Mayweather has said that he is coming out of retirement just to face Conor Mcgregor,since this is a big money fight it might take some time to settle the scores as there will be many people trying to get a share from this event,what ever it is the match will happen. It's obvious that Mayweather doesn't think Conor is a real treat, otherwise he wouldn't even consider the fight, but he is underrating him, Conor is a striker, he can get lucky in the first rounds so he must pay a lot of attention or he can get KOd. |

Its clear that there is no other better way than bitcoin to do online gambling. Of course like it has been proposed before, in order to achieve trillionaire tier transaction volume we must neable segwit and then te lightning network in order to achieve next level adoption. Then even your mom will be gambling with btc.

Okay why don't we start a bet? thats what the thread is about. I would like to bet some BTC that the fight happens and McGregor and Mayweather fight, and that Mayweather wins by decision. Recent video by McGregor claims they are very close to seal the fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Geoubqr254cIts happening. |

This ain't gonna happen Mayweather is a chicken he always want to fight him in the ring not in the ufc ring he wants a boxing compitition where there are no kicks and other things that use in ufc also Mayweather wants a unfair salary where he always wanted to take 60/40 even he lose or win but there are always a mafia happen.
Lol you are clueless. McGregor is the one that called Mayweather out to begin with. Mayweather is 40, he is not going to learn mixed martial arts just to fight this guy. McGregor wins most of his fights standing up, he is a striker, so the fight is more even. Mayweather is a boxing legend, of course he is going to get the bigger paycheck. |

The worst moment is when you wake up after getting wasted in vegas, with a strong headache and with empty pockets because you gambled too much, coupled with the fact that you spend the next week worried about having an STD from some hooker. Good times.

BU is buggy right now. Growing pains. They need more mature process.
Guess what -- I still prefer it to Core. Who cares how robust Core is when they want to change Bitcoin into something that's not even p2p electronic cash anymore.
Dude you can't be honestly still saying this is a good idea, a fucking closed source patch on what is supposed to replace Bitcoin? You have to be kidding me. It's like a religious cult at this stage. They will accept any old crap offered up now, on the premise of "it's just a bug". Imagine trusting the 20 billion dollar btc industry to this crap; crashes are the least of my worries. Idiots like jonald_fyookball are too brainwashed at this point to be saved. He is accepting that developers release a closed source patch to save up for their coding incompetence. If Core devs attempted to do this nobody would trust them ever again. Temporarily or not this is irrelevant, the point is, they have released closed source software, a capital sin in the crypto world. Good luck running that patch. The binaries are not even signed, and they somehow still fuck up and get their code leaked. Anyone defending BU over Core without getting paid is objectively an idiot. It's like a religious cult at this stage. They will accept any old crap offered up now, on the premise of "it's just a bug". Imagine trusting the 20 billion dollar btc industry to this crap; crashes are the least of my worries.
And the number of BU nodes is back to the about the same level showing yet again the type of person running this crap (that and all the VPSs owned by the same people inflating the numbers artificially.) still wondering why antpool is supporting BU after all this, have perhaps some man from their mining farm working on BU, who is working on BU currently, i would like to know who are the dev behind that thing
call this a conspiracy but it could make sense, that someone that is working on the opponent project want to push it at all cost by showing pool support
This is the funny part, antpool don't even need to be running this BU crap to be signalling for it. i doubt they'd trust 100s of PH of mining operations to that crap. This is the work of none other than Roger Vermin and his sea of VPS nodes. Even the people on /r/btc are downvoting BU devs now lol. |

BREAKING: BU developers release closed source patch because they are too incompetent to guarantee functional software. Users seem to be waking up and rejecting this scam:  Anyone still defending this is under a paycheck. If the chinese cartels still go through with the HF going against 88% of the network you know they are being paid to do so since no one would be that stupid to go kamikaze for free. This seals the deal. There will be no HF (and if there is a HF, BUcoin will get dumped for free BTCs) |
