Plenty of people agree with keeping Bitcoin small and defensible. Among them, neither Theymos nor MP nor tvbcof nor NewLibery nor sardokan nor davout nor Pete Dushenski are "altcoin supporters."  I'm sure plenty of those people didn't get invited to speak at the MIT Bitcoin Expo. Gavin did. What's your point buddy? |

GigaBloatCoin has far less than the required 95% support and is thus not going to happen. Quick, sell all your BTC before they become worthless hipster curiosities!  I fucking did, that's why you're left holding the bag with the 80% drop since December '13 And where did you get the 95% support from? Hmmm? http://gavintech.blogspot.de/2015/01/twenty-megabytes-testing-results.html"Current rules if no consensus as measured by block.nVersion supermajority. Supermajority defined as: 800 of last 1000 blocks have block.nVersion == 4" Once that thing goes live, you're just going to get dragged by the nose into it. |

Fortunately most people want it to keep it working how it is now. Umm... No?  Dude he is pro fork... Oh wait you don't read peoples posts you just skim through them quickly so you can post a witty reply. I'm sorry, he claimed one thing, I showed him another... what I showed him, is it it NOT true??? |

See? I'm not the only one who thinks your BS claim is wrong.  Okay buddy, while you cry to me about false claims, we're going to hit that 1MB limit and you're going to either see Gavin's block start appearing, or people start fleeing Bitcoin like rats from a sinking ship. Your precious ledger will be little more than a hipster curiosity and a lot of people are going to regret that they ever invest in something so limited and unscalable. Thank God nobody agrees with you. |

Swift and wu move fiat. What the fuck has it in common with Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a revolution because it's trustless and decentralized, not because fees are low.
Try to read: I didn't say Gavin don't understand Bitcoin. I said he speak like if he don't understand. Maybe he have reasons to do this, not my business. (I can guess some)
But but but... here's the thing: Gavin is right and you're wrong. |

I just noticed that most of the 20MB opponents are altcoin supporters. They're the same people who would troll sidechain proposals too. They don't want positive things for Bitcoin.

You "trust " Gavin? Good for you, but as a side note, the purpose of bitcoin is trustworthiness. About the hardfork, I disapprove. Because if we hardfork to 20mb that means at some point be will have to hardfork again. Clearly not a thoughtful proposal taking in consideration the risks of a hardfork.
What do you mean? The proposed 20MB hardfork includes 10 doublings over 20 years. |

Gavin wins that argument by a mile, and I'm impressed by his patience despite you constantly hand-waving away the reality that moment the tx fee goes up, the users walks out the door and no Visa or WU built on top of Bitcoin can stop that mass exodus. Gavin has published several analysis on the raised block limit and addressed the concerns brought about by the scaling of the network. There is no reason to artificially cap the block size limit beside wanting to see Bitcoin eaten up by Ethereum. I'm sure you've already read the recent ones at http://gavintech.blogspot.com/Lastly, even if you think you're right and everyone else is wrong... see that poll above? The overwhelming majority of this community will adopt Gavin's proposal and you will not be able to stop the inevitable. |

It'll always be possible to build superior visas, and western unions on top of teleportable gold.
As for the opposite...
I'm not buying this idea. Teleportable gold is a bad analogy at best and delusional at worst. Bitcoin is simply a decentralized digital ledger, your idea of of teleportable gold is creating abstractions that has no basis in reality. The value of Bitcoin is dependent on the security of the network (hashrate), and how many adopters are able to transact directly in the network. The moment the bitcoiner discovers that the fees to interact directly with the network is the same as wiring Western Union, your teleportable gold will be rendered a penny stock without any users supporting its purchasing power, and in the end, bitcoiners will migrate to other solutions in which there are no competitive fees or artificial block size limit. Good luck curating a ledger that charges the same rate as WU. |

An overwhelming majority of the community favors the 20MB fork. Only a handful of Luddites with their sock puppets accounts for 90% of the opposition (if you can even call it that).
I'm going to have to place the 1MB'er in the same bin as the Moon landing denier, Holocaust denier, and 9/11 conspiracy theorists...
and dont forget for what they are fighting: a decentralized, trustable bitcoin. this is something we all want. we just dont (yet?) have a consensus how to archive this in the best possible way. Decentralized nodes at the cost of centralization of end-users transacting in the blockchain is not a decentralized trustable bitcoin. What exactly are these Luddites fighting for? The end of Bitcoin? Nodes that can be ran by the poor, *but only serve the rich*, is not healthy for Bitcoin given the existence of alternative solutions that are cheaper and more efficient. It's almost like these 1MB'er wants Bitcoin to die on purpose. Madness. |

Just tried DiceBitco.in while waiting for PD3... Nice intuitive GUI, fast roll response time, prompt deposit and cashout, easily verifiable hash, overall great experience. 10/10 will gamble again.  |

It will be driven by a big event, most likely US exchange-related news.

Some facts:
April 2013's Bubble:
2013-04-09 Peak to 2013-07-05 Bottom: 87 days.
November 2013's Bubble:
2013-07-05 Bottom to 2013-11-30 Top: 148 days.
2013-11-30 Peak to 2014-04-10 Bottom: 131 days.
The November 2013's bubble has much more liquidity than that of April 2013's, hence the longer time period to deflate.
Assuming proportional similarity...
87/131 = 148/X
Hypothetical 2014's Bubble:
2014-04-10 Bottom to 2014-11-18 Peak: 222 days.
This can be driven by the possibility of positive US regulation news in Q4 2014.
$650-$800 is about right for the summer.

People should first pass a small IQ test before being allowed to post here. Doesn't have to be a difficult test, I'm sure wobber won't pass any test even if you only ask him what his name is.
My IQ is pretty high, way above average. Was tested in a 10hour long battery test at a LEA.  |
