I set my BCH to BTC buy order at .21 BCH/BTC for 21 BCH. Hope they trigger it.

I hope no politician can buy bitcoins. So when their currency collapses they die cold and hungry on the streets.
Too much?

Ya, I've been trying for a few months to get my btc-e wex.nz account back. They have a handy verification page when you try to log in so I was going through all of the steps, name, no problem, citizenship...*searches for United States* *checks for any way to input United States*, nope. I live in Korea so I put South Korea since it's an option. I input my Korean address, my Korean ID, my Korean utility statement.
*denied* 'please include a scan of your passport'
hmm...you're not going to like this buy my passport shows I am a United States citizen...which I cannot choose as an option.
If Namecoin ever goes to the moon I'll have to get a second passport just to get my NMC from Wex. I had 21k NMC before they went down. They have every incentive to not let me back in.

BCH was dead until Segwit2X died...now it's a thing again.
Until January when Coinbase releases peoples' BCH to the millions of users that like free money.

What a pleasant sunrise and start into the new week:

It isn't much cheaper to spam bigger blocks. Why is this attack so one-sided?
I asked myself this too... spamming bch mempool would be only 8 times more costly, even more cheap because 1 bch is 1/5 of a btc in usd terms. Why are we not attacking bch? Seems that we are have not evil manipulators on our side It's more profitable to just sell your BCH for bitcoins than to worry about their forked chain.

So...just got an estimate from my accountant for my taxes (going back 2 years to clear up any past transactions I made as well as figuring out how to declare stuff on Bitfinex (shorts, margin lending, BCH, expat stuff, etc.). Initial estimate came to about $50k.
That's a lot higher than the $150 I usually pay for TurboTax.
Anyone have a decent accountant that understands Bitcoin? Strangely enough she owns bitcoin and accepts bitcoin but needed 60 hours for "Legal Research, Analysis, Opinion various BTC Issues" at over $400/hour.

I've very motivated to sell off the rest of my BCH now...even with the hassle I have to go through with my cold storage.

Looks like Roach was right guys. Should I buy 100 pounds of gold to carry around with me as I travel the world instead of bitcoins?
Might be hard to break a gold coin. Perhaps you should also travel with 1000 pounds of silver just to be safe. Yeah and a few barrels of crude oil. You can trade that almost anywhere. Please don't carry crude oil around. That colorless hydrogen sulfide will kill you soon enough. Glad I checked this before finalizing my transaction with that Saudi prince. Thank you!

My fork coins are worth what my bitcoins were worth last year.

Sometime in the future the "Greens" will object loudly to Bitcoin's energy consumption. Does anyone think the voices will get so loud, POW for Bitcoin will be a controversy?
This is one of Bitcoin's weak spots in the public opinion arena. Does anyone think somewhere down the road POW might be changed?
We laugh and laugh and laugh...because Bitcoin is one thing they cannot stop with their precious governments.

Well, now that it's settled that BTC is strictly digital gold, the altcoinmarket has certainly become more interesting. Which will end up to be the digital cash? Place your bets, gentlemen.
I think Lightning Network Coin will win out.

As long as Bitcoin finally reaches the adoption rate where we can all stop paying taxes, then the true reason for Bitcoin will be fulfilled.

The tx fees suck because the value is so high
I did 6 btc tx yesterday with electrum using dynamic fees within 2 blocks. They averaged 3$ each. Is that too damn high? In fact, yes. Imagine when millions of people are opening and closing LN channels or executing smart contracts. It is not my intention to spread FUD, but we have an eventual problems between our hands. I really hope bitcoin can scale offchain, as onchain. How often does one open and close a credit card in their lifetime?

Why is ETH up and BCH down? This market makes zero sense.
Makes perfect sense...Ver and most of the BCH crowd are big ETH supporters. BCH was poised to be the solution to Bitcoin's woes if the S2X fork completely hosed both systems and brought everything crumbling down. So people started buying BCH with their ETH. Now that the S2X fork isn't happening people are moving their money back into ETH.
