If anyone thinks that this is a "organic" rally, you should have your head examined.

The lower notional value per unit and the professed intent by Roger Ver to prop up his latest assault on the Bitcoin ecosystem is more likely.

But sure, keep thinking that this rise is a bunch of people thinking suddenly that BCrash should be worth 2x more in a few hours span.

BCrash is trading at ~7% of BTC's market price.

Their alt-coin is also 1,183 blocks behind BTC's blockchain.

I'd say the market has already shown us which one is "best".

But of course, this won't stop Roger "Deluded Judas" Ver from attempting another scheme to enrich himself.

Bitfinex is shaping up to be Mt. Gox 2.0 - Read this article, it spells it out rather succinctly:

They may have a bit more runway before they crash and burn, but its going to be rather historic when they do.

These idiots never stop, do they.

BCrash is trading at 328 and change, which is only ~9% of Bitcoin's worth.

Their alt-coin is also 1,048 blocks behind the main BTC chain.

This is non-trivial.

Ver, scam artist supreme, has been cashing out some of his BTC holdings to support BCH. We'll see how far this goes, because it won't be enough.

Trade it short term if you must, its longer term future is in doubt.

It would be hilarious to find out that BCrash has been mined mostly by someone who could care less about their alt-coin.

Zero sympathy for the team and participants behind that train wreck.

Lets give a bigger round of applause to those that post in the News Section with proper date formatting.

Thanks...

Bitmain Centralized Coin will have a negligible effect. Perhaps a net positive once some hardy souls cash out and buy more BTC with the proceeds.

Anyway, it really doesn't matter. Let the failed messiah and his chinese junk dealer have their ego-coin, good riddance.

Needs proper date formatting to be in the News Section.

Thanks....

You know, the next high-profile scammer to rage-quit because he can't force everyone into his scam-coin.

I called it on this one.

I knew that the SEC would get involved eventually. The existential risk hanging over Ethereum's head is this enforcement order.

But lets get on with the ETH pumping, because that is all I see on these forums.

Wait until the fines start flying...

NEEDS PROPER DATE FORMATTING TO BE IN THE NEWS SECTION -- You know, like the hundreds of posts that came BEFORE YOU and managed to do so with ZERO problems.

You'll be super HAPPY to know that I've made my concerns known, and your business model is set to be "expired" in short order.

Enjoy the last waning minutes of abuse...

Another shit-post from BBC "reporter".

Dude, just give it up, no one really takes you seriously.

Smart kid.

ETH is honestly a "cult of personality" thanks to Vitalik.

The pump will ultimately end in a massive dump - and its ongoing. 130.26 reported as a low today on Coinbase.

No amount of China roadshows fluffing investors is going to bring that valuation back. Nor does it help that a "misconfigured" ICO can bring the ETH network to its knees.

BBC "reporter" isn't the sharpest tool in the box.

I'm starting to wonder what the hell his problem is.

Jihan needs to shut the fuck up or we'll fork his miners into hot-air popcorn machines.

Mr. "Fuck your mother if you want fuck" needs to stay away from a microphone and stop being a complete douchebag in the mining ecosystem.

But naturally, there are supporters of this asshole because people are fucking stupid.

There is no "last chance" or time limit.

We'll either adopt some method of scaling - or not. So what.

Bitcoin wasn't made to be changed on a whim, but after careful consideration and discussion. I blame all the ADHD idiots out there that think progress means rapid-style changes. It doesn't.

I think that will become more clear if there is a fork and the majority just disregards what they consider to be a waste of time, or a centric-trend risk.

We'll survive, like we always have. Its very hard to kill something that has been under attack for nearly 9 years.

How about a double-whammy.

Russia legalizes, and then its partner China - does the same.

They already trade with each other with the explicit intent of bypassing the US Dollar. They settle energy trades in Roubles/Yuan. This would put a huge stake in the heart of USD being a global reserve currency.

I can hardly wait.

It means if you run an exchange without doing your due diligence and applying the proper regulatory procedures -- you get sent to jail.

Not really a huge revelation.

There are plenty of shoddy exchanges out there that don't operate above-board. This was one of them.

Someone just figure out that Bitcoin has declines after run-ups?

This isn't a new phenomenon. Bitcoin trading veterans have known this since its inception. But hey, clickbait needs sensationalist titles, doesn't it.
