It is still possible even though SegWit is incredibly plebiscited. However it would die pretty fast and the traitors would eventually go back to the main chain because they have to win money and since their altcoin will be worthless they will leave it pretty fastly.
It is not going to die anytime soon. There are a lot of powerful people with fat pockets supporting the BCC. And you need to remember that morality and ethos comes last during investment. The only thing which matters is the probability of getting a good profit. |

273 blocks remaining. And after this the chain will start rejecting non-Segwit blocks. Just checked Coin Dance website, and it says 100% of the blocks mined today supports SegWit2x (intention). BIP 141 is also at around 61% support, which increases the chances that BCC will be created on August 1.

Without threatening the lazy miners we will be having hard times to get future protocol upgrades it seems. Miners only understand one language; Violence.  At least some of the mining pools got too arrogant with the scaling issue, but I am glad that an agreement has been reached in the end. Infighting is not good with any coin and it can only help the competitors. The quicker these guys realize it, that better. |

Satoshi Nakamoto is probably dead. And in 2009, he would have never thought that Bitcoin will become so popular. Also, he might have never thought that the 1 MB bock size limit would become inadequate. Therefore, I think that he would approve the soft fork if he is still around.

That's good news, but I think if they have a leader of course have a representative, if the leader dies must be his deputy who fills the leadership position, and they could become more anarchist.
The ISIS can't become any more anarchic. They have proved within a short duration that they are the most barbaric terrorist organization of any time. Not only they have committed terror acts against the Yazidis and Christians, they have also targeted the Shiite Muslims. |

Lately only Poloniex and Bittrex have decent enough volume to do a real trade. But lately too many people are reporting depositing problems with Poloniex, including I have ETH missing for days. Yes.. I have seen a lot of threads circulating around here, warning users to stay away from Poloniex. A few people have reported issues not only with the Ethereum deposits, but also with the Bitcoin deposits as well. |

The market is falling is it the affect of the upcoming segwit? Or just a normal move in the market in which is the up and down of the price?? Is it ok to hold bitcoins in the exchanger? Can you help me???
No. It is not OK to hold the Bitcoins in the exchanges. Because if a chain split occurs (although the chances are quite low), the exchange has the power to decide which chain you want to go for. They will select a chain for you, and you will lose coins from the other chain. |

Hi, newbie here and I'd really appreciate any answers.
I've been reading like mad and just have some fundamental questions:
1) What exchange do you use? On that exchange, do you buy with market or limit orders?
2) What wallet do you use? I am interested in a paper wallet that can hold multiple kinds of coins, not just bitcoin.
And I think that's about it. Thanks!
I use 4-5 exchanges for trading. My primary exchange is BTC-e, due to the low fees and lack of mandatory ID verification. Localbitcoins is another exchange which I'd recommend, especially to the new users. And limit orders are always better than market orders. Just need to be patient, and you can get your coins at least 2% to 3% cheaper. |

Hi, new to bitcoin, I invested some money into bitcoin mid June after seeing all the hype online, since investing it's dropped like 20% really not sure what to do now if I should sell up now take a 20% loss or hang onto it and hopefully it will go up again? But after reading the news looks like it's not going to go back up?
Sorry for sounding stupid just jumped into something I didn't no anything about.
Thanks
You have to take your own call. If I were in your place, then my decision would depend on a few factors, such as the duration for which you can hold on to your Bitcoins, and your capability to absorb any losses from the investment without causing major issues for the future. |

Most of my wealth is invested outside Bitcoin, but most of my liquid assets are in the form of crypto-currency (including BTC). In terms of my total wealth, some 10% to 15% is invested in the form of Bitcoin. Will take a decision on increasing the proportion after August 1.

There should have been a third option in the poll, for "no winners". During the WW2, the axis powers were defeated in the end, but the allies lost at least 25 million soldiers in doing that. For the WW3, the numbers will be even more, and no country can afford to lose that many human lives.

I just noticed and realized that I have never heard of a certain Christian terrorist, all I hear is that when a terrorist is in the news, he/she is a Muslim. I am not saying that Muslims are terrorist, so don't get me wrong.
Sorry my friend , but i think that your opinion isn't right. Terrorism has no religion. Terorists make teracts in the name of their religion. you have never heard about Oslo,Utoya teract by Anders Behring Breivik? Breivik killed at least 84 people, mostly teenagers, in his shooting rampage on the Utoya Island where Norway's ruling Labor Party held a youth camp, and another 7 people in the bomb attack in downtown Oslo. I am Christian but i think terorism has no religion! OK.. Let's take the list of the terrorist incidents and the number of people killed by Islam. During the past 20 years, around 5 million people have lost their lives as a result of all forms of religious terrorism. Out of this number, less than 500 people (or 0.01% of the total) lost their lives as a result of non-Muslim terrorism. Now tell me whether Islam and terrorism are related or not. |

Indonesia is one of the most peaceful countries. Despite isolated incidents of terror committed mostly by foreign funded mercenaries, Indonesia has remained calm and peaceful throughout the years.
The only peaceful region in Indonesia is the island of Bali. It has remained peaceful, because the island is having a solid Hindu majority (around 80%). But even there, the Muslim population is increasing. |

What is the best solution to resolve our problem in overpopulation?
Implement a strict one-child policy, like China. A lot of people would argue that it caused gender imbalance and social problems. But look at how they were able to grow economically, as a result of the reduced population growth. |

Seems like you do not have the stomach for trading if you came us to ask if you should quit.
Trading is no shortcut to becoming an instant billionaire. You need to remember that whenever someone is gaining from margin trading, someone else is losing as well. Everything depends on your luck. |

Hmm... this is not the first time I am hearing about such incidents. And I am not just talking about incidents related to the American banks. Even in the third world nations, I have heard about savings accounts getting frozen, after the account holder used the funds to purchase Bitcoin.

Oh god! Bitcoin is not like porn or firearms, to ban the participation of those under the age of 18. If a 14-year old is allowed to open a savings account in bank, then he should also be allowed to open an account in any of the crypto-exchanges.

What about india?
If I am not wrong, then Bitcoins are not banned in India. The government tried to ban it, but they realized that it is not possible to do so. Because in order to ban the Bitcoin, they need to shut down the entire internet and it is simply not practical. |

I love how kwukduck's price predictions always happen to go the exact opposite direction. The louder he is ranting about the price falling down to significantly lower levels, the higher the price goes.  I think we should see him as a reverse crytal ball. The harder he keeps advising, ahum, fudding so people sell their coins, the harder everyone here should start buying. From that point, kwukduck is in fact a very contributing and irreplaceable asset to this forum. He should gain some more respect!! To his credit, he is one of the most experienced user around here, and therefore I respect him. He registered to this forum in 2010. To be more precise, he is the 654th user of Bitcointalk. And I wouldn't blame him too much for the failure in the predictions. Bitcoin is really unpredictable. None of the predictions can be 100% accurate. Any doubt? |

It took just 2 days for Bitcoin to dive from $2,500 per coin to $1,800 per coin. And it took another 2 days for it to recover to $2,300 per coin. Is there any other asset which is more volatile than the BTC?
