Theres a video of the latest DAVOS (im not sure if 2017 or 2016 edition) and Laggarde says that in 10 years, she doesn't think that physical money will exist. Since these things don't happen from one day to another, the transition will happen smoothly, so in about 5 years, most of the cash will be banned, I think only the smallest bills will prevail, probably for the older people to keep being able to do common shopping, because most old people will never understand how to pay digitally.

In about 2027 cash will be over in most developed countries. The BTC price will be insanely high assuming big blockers don't win.

Im pretty sure it IS going to happen, unless somehow they back down, but the main point is, it does NOT matter if they hardfork. Anybody can hardfork at any time, everyone is free to fork BTC into their own alt and call it whatever they want, the difference is if they will get enough hashrate, and enough market support, which I doubt. All whales will dump their BCC for more BTC. This is the final act of faith in the coin. And I doubt that Roger Ver will dump all their BTC for BCC.

Segwit is locked in, that's what you need to consider. Segwit is inherently bullish except for the conspiracy theorists that claim Segwit is a mistake and could create a DAO type situation within bitcoin because of the transaction format. I think this is exaggerated FUD.

Once we clear out the BCC nonsense, the price will go up. If you buy before August 1st, you will have both BTC and BCC, so you can always dump BCC for free BTC and in case BTC price goes down against the dollar, you still get more BTC. Consider that.

Ignore the inactivity since x-mas, I had a car accident and was not able to post  now im back. I have native english and im knowledgeable in the field. I hope I can promote this great coin.

You could say this is accurate, but we can't think that all ICOs are scams, because that hurts the legitimate projects, even if they are few of them, some of them are legit and put countless hours into their work, so treating it all as a scam doesn't help anyone.

The best advantage of bitcoin is being able to move unlimited amount of money overseas. Good luck trying to find any other way but bitcoin, because there isn't any other viable way.

Bitcoin Unlimited will join the altcoin cementery soon along with Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Classic. By next year we should have segwit activated already.
In the moment of truth people know it's stupid to gamble with developers, and the Core devs are the most solid devs.

I think asian empire will fall sooner or later, their whole economy is built upon cheap products mass produced in ridiculous ways and paying peanuts to the workers. How long can those guys deal with that shit?

I think what reputation attacks mean is, somebody that has a reputation in the bitcoin ecosystem (like Gavin Andressen for example) could use their key to push a certain agenda.

If nobody has the key, then nobody can do that sort of attack anymore.

I think gambling will be huge in the future when people become aware of bitcoin. The fact that you can gamble any amounts anywhere at any time for small amounts... this is impossible to do with the traditional banking, because of intermediaries and so on.

Nothing terrible is going to happen... there's this ridiculous fear about how if Trump gets elected the amargeddon will ensue.

It's also stupid to think Hillary is going to cause WW3. Nothing out of the ordinary will happen if they do their job as expected, that is, to avoid getting ourselves in big trouble.

I don't like both of them but I can't do much about that.

Why would you stop using it? if you stop using it then you are falling for their fear and that is what the want, just put fear on people's mind to stop it. Because they can't do nothing else. What are they going to do? they can't stop a decentralized system unless they shut down the internet.

We can't know if banks will disappear or not, but what we know is it will make a huge impact on them once bitcoin becomes ore mainstream, and the only way they can deal with not ending up like kodak is by accepting bitcoin and offering ways to store it for those that dont want to store it themselves.

I am both young and poor enough to want to go all in on Bitcoin. I have nothing to lose, and I still have a lot of time left on earth.. I think this is the combination that makes me want to take the risk of going all in on BTC. I either get really rich or lose it all, I dont care.

Hi I invested in the ICO Iconomi myself , I didn't knew it had a sig campaign so I want to support it. I took a vacation from forums but I am back to help spread this project's awareness:

You don't know how Lightning Network works to claim it's centralized.
What would be centralized is huge blocks that don't allow for people to run nodes, so we have 3 companies running nodes, 3 companies running mining cartels = Bitcoin dies as a decentralized, government censorship resistant technology.

If Bitcoin nodes remain decentralized as they are now, and we scale it globally through an additional layer like LN (which is just clever Bitcoin script and has no centralization whatsoever) we win, they can't shut down Bitcoin.

Only uninformed tools are still parroting the blockstream centralization myth. Ethereum is a meme and will be over after we have side-chains. There are 0 Bitcoin competitors right now, stop hoping for Bitcoin 2.0, that's delusion.

Don't be delusional, mining is pretty centralized right now. If running nodes ended the same way (with a couple of big cartels running nodes) Bitcoin would be dead as a decentralized currency. It would be like Bitcoin was running on Google and a couple other big companies. Nodes would be like servers instead of nodes. This is why we need a block size that remains small, so people can run nodes on their desktop computers.

It's the same as always. You invest in something that you think it's undervalued, since maybe in the future someone wants that and would be willing to pay more money for it than you did back then. Just good ol reselling.

Any spots for the 0.0007 rate?
