"When speaking to developers, there remains staunch support along partisan lines.

John Heathco, a developer who recently contributed to Segwit2x, said he believes there's still "a lot of community support" for increasing the block size parameter as a way to improve network capacity.

"The majority of individuals just want to be able to use bitcoin without paying ridiculously high fees," he argued."

Other examples concerning BCH this time, https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/30939/online-retailer-overstock-starts-accepting-bitcoin-cash-and-ethereum,

 "Overstock is pro-freedom, including the freedom of individuals to communicate information about value and scarcity without relying on a medium created through the fiat of unaccountable government mandarins. For that reason, we have been an early proponent and adopter of cryptocurrencies."

And a last one for the counter argument: https://news.bitcoin.com/chinese-media-calls-zero-tolerance-crimes-involving-cryptocurrencies/

Xinhua describes virtual currencies as the “first choice” for online criminals – asserting that cryptocurrencies are used to facilitate “money laundering, drug trafficking, smuggling, illegal fund-raising and other criminal activities.” Xinhua stated that bitcoin has been popular among criminals because it can be used “anonymous[ly], [is] not subject to national boundaries, [and is] not easy to track.”

and oh, I just read your comment and I forgot to mention miners.

Perhaps, but what do you make of investors, traders, developpers or blockchain experts involved in usability and distribution, they're also part of the equation, aren't they? Cryptocurrency is not all about the community, right? Now we even got the government, politicians and the banking industry involvement, which has proven to be disastrous has shown in the China ban case.

That's a shake out, whales don't like weak hands IMHO. If you are into several solid coins, you can always set aside a few BCHs and see what the market decides, but then you're selling at the worst possible time....

https://coinmarketcap.com/ See for yourselves the top ten coins in terms of market cap, only XRP has a positive % change in the last 24 hours. You noobs should stop trading cryptocurrencies unless you're begging to get rekt.

Don't think too much, it can lead you into a lot of problems.

While this excellent comment passed unnoticed, trolls keep polluting this thread, it's a shame, so true.

Noted crypto-securitisation shop LA Token says it won’t sell more tokens to US investors.

The announcement is intriguingly timed, to say the least — just a few days after the SEC charged two ICOs with fraud!

The regulator got an emergency court order to freeze the assets of Maksim Zaslavskiy, after it found he and his companies “have been selling unregistered securities, and the digital tokens or coins being peddled don’t really exist.” From the SEC’s release:

    Zaslavskiy allegedly touted REcoin as “The First Ever Cryptocurrency Backed by Real Estate.” Alleged misstatements to REcoin investors included that the company had a “team of lawyers, professionals, brokers, and accountants” that would invest REcoin’s ICO proceeds into real estate when in fact none had been hired or even consulted.

LA Token also says it has plans to “tokenise” — meaning securitise — real estate. Weird! It says it’s already issued crypto-denominated securities based on Apple shares.

And its current US investors can still use its platform, according to LA Token:

    The following changes apply only to the new contributions. Our early contributors can still use their LAT to pay for future transactions such as assets tokenization at the LAT platform and convert LAT into other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin or Ether.

Now, it’s not clear that anyone is actually using the platform anyway.

The “trade history” says a total of 92 tokens traded on Wednesday, the equivalent of 92 Europe-listed shares of Apple. For context, 20.1m shares of Apple’s real US-listed stock traded on Wednesday, according to Reuters.

This all comes after the company went through a rather dizzying series of changes regarding its US investors. First they didn’t have any stated rules about it. Then we asked them, and they rather quickly turned around and said US investors couldn’t participate. Then they said their tokens were actually just utility coins, for “future platform usage such as assets tokenization”.

Of course, there’s no clear explanation of the way crypto-securities purchases would fit into the “utility token” framework. (As far as we can tell, the point of that distinction is to make sure crypto is not used for securities purchases.)

The company says “they hedge they [sic] bets by closing the sales to US citizens and residents. LAToken follows the trend.”

Brilliant observation!

what goes up must come down and vice versa, pure and simple, isn't it?

EDIT your post with the right spelling, it should read Bitchcoin

hehe, for you bruh http://www.trustnodes.com/2017/10/03/bitcoin-cash-airdropped-students

"That 5 bitcoin was not worth very much in 2016, but is now worth some $25,000. Who knows how much Bitcoin Cash may be worth in 2018. So that lucky student might keep their Bitcoin Cash instead of splashing out."

It doesn't a genius to understand that BCH is being dumped beyond recovery, but I'll nver sell, because I won't back down, that's the way I trade.

my bad tek, it was not you but the chartist (i.e TA) guy who also likes banks.

The force is strong in that one (i.e BCH)
