If news is not a joke, it's sort of message to people behind Bcash. Don't push things too far.
Anyway Bcash supporters might get opponents to argue what alt is more like to bitcoin.

It's like junk stocks play. Rumours on coming update could make "dead cat bounce". Micropump while project's dead already. Check source of news twice to prove it's not fake when it comes to alt like this.

If only market price attribute is taken, bitcoin has got overwhelming gains over major currencies since the time OP posted. And a lot of gains are ahead due to growing acceptance.

Trading emission quotas is a sort of fines on a national economy or in other words it's disguised tax.
Methodology for assessmet "anthropogenic" greenhous gas emission  is so controversial  that still has no widespread support of scientists.

“It’s going to store bitcoin just like GLD stores gold and make it easier for investors to access it,” he said.


Rocket sceince, yeh. They are going to store bitcoin for investors, just give them money ... and (sic!) it easier for investors to access it.

Market seems ignore recent panic speculation and fud about damp hashpower, spamming mempool, high tx fee. Bitcoin is traded like nothing bad happened for forth day at row.
30  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if, we advertise bitcoin on T.V.? on: August 27, 2017, 04:32:19 PM
Why direct ad? Entertainment programms - show " Get one bitcion", episode "Tips on mining in basement".
Ad agencies will rush for commercials in prime time. Grin

At last litecoin is doing fine. Long awaited move up. Happy trading.
32  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you see trading as fun and games? on: August 27, 2017, 03:59:03 PM
Whenever trading causes feeling of being stressed or even desperation that's subconsciousness signalling that something wrong with trading approach. Stop trading and reconsider trading strategy. Find the reason what makes feel uneasy and eventually lead to bad trading decisions. The reading more about that it's not about listening to music while trading.

Today Cumberland Mining is one of the largest cryptocurrency market makers, with 12 employees mostly trading bitcoin and ethereum, largely for bigger investors looking to trade blocks of $1 million or more. “I have had more conversations with traditional financial firms in the last 30 days than I have had in the last year,” says Cho, who now runs Cumberland Mining.


A hint that a new wave of "hot" money is coming up in cryptocurrency trading. Growing risk appetite. Traditional financial firms find the way to take a slice of pie.

Hype sentiment for xrp is over. Taking into account supply, new ATH is unlikely by the end of the year.
Choosing more realistic tools for analisys may show that trading ranges with channels suits xrp better.
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin first true enemy! Not the goverment, banks or police. It's Antpool. on: August 25, 2017, 05:46:44 PM
China miners moonlight and ignorance of BCH investors make up explosive mixture. A lot of noise again.

It's about Ethereum Classic Investment Trust. They are spinning upcoming event.
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will segwit empty the mempool? on: August 25, 2017, 01:16:31 PM
We've already seen the first block over 1MB mined by Bitfury. 

what Shocked
how is that even possible? are you sure you were looking at a "bitcoin" block?  because it is impossible to mine a block which is bigger than 1 MB unless you want to create a rejected block.
the consensus has not changed with SegWit, it is still at
MAX_BLOCK_SIZE = 1000000 Byte (1 MB)

am i missing something here? please explain if i do

As I get it Segwit activation means that block size limit is replaced by a block weight limit, which allows for block to increase to 4MB in size. If a block doesn't have witness data its size remains 1 MB max

39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Segwit Activation any time now... on: August 24, 2017, 11:15:03 AM
It's so long awating event that ones still can't believe the activation has happened others are watching that things go smoothly as planned so have no time to comment.
40  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The OFFICIAL SegWit Activation Thread on: August 24, 2017, 10:49:34 AM
segwit is activated, so why no >1MB block has been mined until now?

It takes time while wallets and services switch to start Segwit output tx and thereafter it could bump to >1MB
