And “resurfaces” is the wrong term as it implies that the need has previously surfaced, which it has not. The need may never surface.
You've already banished it from your revisionist history? There were some high fees in 2017. There was no need for a block size increase as demonstrated by the failure of BCH. If it was “necessary”, BCH would have won. The result was a BTC dominance drop from an overwhelming ~85% to abut half. Are you prepared for a drop to about a quarter next time the stream is blocked? You're whistling past your own graveyard. Do you actually believe that the value of Bitcoin is diminished every time some scammer comes up with ‘X on a blockchain’ and manipulates the price on some exchange with zero liquidity to create a meaningless market cap? You are smarter than that. Aww... ::blush::. No. I believe that the value of Bitcoin is diminished every time its limitations surface in an orgy of nonfunctionality, driving actual use to other competing blockchains that can handle to load. Which brings us around in a nice circular fashion to the market failure of these competing blockchains including BCH and SV. Why did they fail? Because there was never a need in the first place. PS your fees would be lower if you used Segwit. You should try it, you might like it. |

Decision is fully yours. Own it.
Hows that working out for you bear? Owning it? k thanks and now gtfo with your big blocker bullshit...bubye https://i.imgur.com/winWljK.jpgIf history is anything to go by then we know that today's prices are irrelevant. Just look at Amazon crashing into the ground and now being the most valuable company in the world. Not saying BSV will get anywhere, but still. Non-argument. You mean when Amazon was being pounded into the ground by a market dominant, more aggressive competitor? Didn’t think so. |

Indeed
If you went for the ETH scam you would have gone for the other scams too and been a Storj bag holder etc

I guess everyone remembers that an obvious scam like ETH went to 1400 beer tokens per in the last bull market, and they're hoping their obvious scams will do likewise in the next.
The most distressing part was choosing not to participate in the initial crowd sale of 2000 ETH per BTC because it was such an obvious scam. 1 BTC then would be 58 BTC today. |

So sorry to hear that about your dog. That would be a very difficult day for anyone.

Hoan Kiem Lake near Turtle pagoda in Hanoi? Edit: Could also be Ho Tay lake (west lake) in Hanoi. I say its Hanoi because IIRC you've worked/spent time in China and this would be an immediate holiday destination or work-cation. Great work. Absolutely nailed it. It is Hoan Kiem Lake. Super fast detective work Icygreen ! The turtle pagoda is visible in the background on the lake, over the shoulder of the girl in the white top, next to the girl in the red top  Hoan Kiem Lake is famous because a turtle god lives in it that gave the Vietnamese emperor a sword to fight off Chinese invaders |

This is under the assumption that the block size wouldn't grow when needed, blocks aren't full without outside attacks so there's no evidence that when the time comes we won't increase the block size to a common sense size.
Well, other than the evidence that blocks were kept small the last time they became persistently full. Which, in itself, is pretty strong evidence. Once the need resurfaces (and it most certainly will), how long do you think it will take to implement the necessary change? If it was urgent it could probably be done in 48 hours. But it won’t be urgent. And “resurfaces” is the wrong term as it implies that the need has previously surfaced, which it has not. The need may never surface. |

So we have the world’s slowest run on the bank on Bitfinex, and it’s slowly dragging the Bitstamp price up with it.
No guesses so far are close. This one is hard mode.

does the new electric E type count?
It is the correct answer to most questions. It certainly looks the part, I would like to see some reliability data on the "bespoke" electric powertrain. No offense, but y'alls' British motorcars, while stunningly beautiful, are not renowned for their electrical systems. I've owned a few Jags and I can tell you, Lucas Wiring sucks Balls. Who else uses grey wires that fade to white and call them slate? The older ones are damn sexy though.  It’s astonishing how being owned by an Indian conglomerate has resulted in JLR getting its shit together |

We have shaken this Tether FUD off like a dog after a bath. All we have done is bounce off the 30 MA (shown in green). There is no stopping this train.  |
