This is far from a nanny-state. These are flat out predatory ponzi schemes. It's insanity and it needs to be addressed.
If you actually care about the adoption and success of cryptocurrency you should feel the same way about ICOs.

Only a brave idiot would BUY right now. 

Psh, this is typical of the mental illness within the cryptocurrency community. There MUST be conspiracy and evil meddling afoot! There is no way that infinite ICOs which attempt to steal kid's lunch money could POSSIBLY be negative!

Dead Cat Bounces just delay the inevitable.

So, so different. Those were mostly biased articles and false spins on what was actually said utilizing English speakers inability to read Mandarin.

This is an outright ban on ICOs which reflects the U.S. SEC's stance albeit more explicit. I don't know why people buy ICOs anyway.

Of course they will continue illegally but if you don't agree there needs to be regulation you are either 1.) a scammer 2.) Naïve

PRAISE BE! DEUS VULT! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

I am so glad that I can say for myself I am at least 95% confident CSW is Satoshi. I appreciate the way he has handled his position of authority without becoming some malevolent psychopath hellbent on abusing his status.  

It is so true that you must make sacrifices in the pursuit of learning and creating. It bothers me the attitude of many people in Bitcoin who say not only that college is a scam but that they earnestly have no ambition towards furthering any specific skill. Pursuit of money for the sake of money alone is a hollow endeavor.

Why the pump?

That's how you get rich right? Buying the all time highs?   

We're here, we're the rhetorically superior implementation of Bitcoin, get used to it.

You must not be very good with logic. What is so malicious about the Bitcoin Cash implementation? Don't talk about the hard fork, talk about as a soft fork.

I can tell you what is malicious about keeping the 1mb cap. Can you give me a single reason why a large cap is malicious? It simply allows all transactions to process, decreases fees tremendously. No malice. On the other hand, segwit is pushing the transactions off chain - defeating the purpose of a block chain. They intentionally stopped progress to allow fees to grow infinitely. What they refer to as spam transactions are simply  transactions that are permissible by the code - taxes are paid, there are totally legitimate reasons to send low values.

You are a close minded idiot incapable or unwilling to understand what has occurred in this fork. You are just another cow in the herd following the prevalent public opinion. Like it or not, many long-time Bitcoin users with deep pockets are stacking Bitcoin Cash. They are right to do so and there is nothing you can do to stop them, just sit back and scream the sky is falling while they accumulate the shares of all the idiots incapable of abstract logic.

Truth isn't determined by popularity. Price doesn't reflect the righteous implementation, it is merely  a market based reality created by trader's current perceptions.
Bitcoin Cash should have been implemented without a fork retaining the BTC ticker but it was made impossible by obstructionists who favor limiting block size, increasing tax, and changing bitcoin from a currency to a settlement system.

The argument has been made and I agree that the core camp is putting the cart before the horse. They expect BTC to be a digital gold, a store of wealth, yet they betray the economic principles which allowed for its success. When I first got involved in 2011 with Bitcoin my mind was not set on holding Bitcoin in the hopes of ever increasing value but rather I was immensely impressed with the ability to send money quintessentially fee-less across the globe in a matter of ten minutes.

Satoshi Nakamoto understood that wild speculation would run on Bitcoin's value but fundamentally this was not his goal, he was intent on creating a good product with superior use cases: the speed of transaction, security of ownership, and low - near nonexistent fees associated. THAT is what gave Bitcoin the power to attract users which increased the value bringing with it the need to increase blocksize as Nakamoto had said would be necessary if his creation was widely adopted.

Until Segwit 2x is resolved in November this battle is not remotely close to being over, only after the outcome of segwit 2x is clear will the future of BCH vs BTC begin to be visible.

I suspect there are several turncoats who haven't yet revealed their true colors.

It's the same thing for Bitcoin. People are just deluded enough to believe the lies about how perfect it is.

Litecoin is hot garbage. Dash too. Eth too. Segwit is SHIT, a conjob to implement ever increasing taxes on the btc chain. Most of these 30-500 million valued coins on coinmarketcap will crumble into oblivion.

There is euphoria right now, it's what scams thrive on, they're pumping extra helium in to stop the leak on the hindenburg that is cryptocurrency. Undoubtedly digital payments are the future but this? The current market situation is a fad, it'll come and go. Taking and making millions for many time and time again.

If Gleb is on LSD that would explain a lot of his more creative posts. 

Microdosing on LSD every morning is supposedly a trendy thing to do in silicon valley which might be a factor to the unfounded euphoria right now. 

Great to hear.

After looking through everything I can find on Craig Wright I believe he is in fact Satoshi Nakamoto and it's going to be oh so glorious when those against him finally cannot deny it.

It's not a bug it's a feature!

Unlike the dumb, deaf, and blind BTC core corporation tyrants, we don't censor dissenting opinions.

If your posts get deleted it'll be by a global moderator and not hostfat. If that happens it's because you chose to post 4 different times instead of consolidate your 4 sentences into one post.

I'm happy to let the markets and fees speak for me.

Let's see what the prices are like this time next year. BitcoinCash is going to shock tens of thousands of Bitcoin Core maximalists.

Luke, Greg, blockstream, and all have made a grave mistake.
