Excellent summary, fluidjax. The BCH fork is the most important issue at the moment, and your post provides useful perspective. Merited. I thought I'd spread a little of the opinions and information I've gathered over the last few days about the BCH split.
CSW doesn't want a fork, he currently controls over 51% of the hash on BCH,
(snip)
As a BTC maximalist I want the war to go on for a long time resulting in less cash reserves for both money both Jiahn and CSW. Although the risk to BTC is well over the horizon at the moment, it is no doubt the destruction of BTC that is in both their long games, and whoever wins this hash war will be embolden to collect financial partners/investors (state sponsored?) and eventually turn on BTC.
Indeed. But old school hodlers might still save the day. Or a frictionless lighting network. Or hordes of full nodes running on lightweight machines with lightweight connections. I am hopeful. Profit? At this pumped up fork price, I think the only direction for the price is downwards.
Unless one of them capitulates which I don't think is very likely, their will be many large re-orgs and a major loss in confidence by BCH's holders and users, exchanges won't allow trading until things settle down, but how long could that be?
I hope exchanges keep bch on their books at least until I close my short with a yuuuge profit  |

You think people are converting BTC to BCH ahead of their shit fork to get their free shitcoin’s & then convert back into BTC to increase their BTC stashes?
Yes but it’s not my cup of tea. I made a rule awhile ago that I only trade bitcoin and never touch shitcoins no matter how tempting. Most of the pump is probably finished by now anyway. Yeah in my trading beginner days I lost a lot of money on altcoins. Well, live and learn. I've been bitten by altcoins too, and said to myself no more. However, it's not an absolute stance: there are exceptions. Such as shorting bch as soon as its head sticks out too much. |

If you ever had a Bitcoin address associated with your account you can always sign a message with that key as proof.
He did, it matched. It seems no accounts are being recovered since before the summer even if you follow the procedure. Bummer. I know Theymos reads this thread once in a while. I suggest that maybe a larger task force could be appointed for the recovery of stolen accounts. Otherwise, why staking our btc addresses as a security measure? |

Not to do with holding a position during funding?
Bitmex does not charge fees on funding. Quite. Longs pay shorts or the other way round. Way outta my depth here. Someone will see it for you... It's most likely funding that hit you. Check your trade history ( https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradeHistory ). |

Why isn't that ever highlighted in the media?
Because the media, and legacy finances including banking, and 99% of the political establishment are all on the left. We are on the right. That's why. The media world is divided, but it's hard to gauge the approximate balance. For example, I guess you're counting the whole Hollywood circus as a nest of communists, which I would disagree with. As to the political establishment being all on the left, that isn't even true in China. On the other hand, Legacy finance is definitely on the right. Don't fool yourself only because you're near 100% right. 85% right might be more on the left than you, but it's still on the right. Then again, I guess everything's relative. It's the same with global warming. co2 is not a pollutant first of all, but more than that it is necessary for all life on the planet. C6H12O6. Plants turn co2 into oxygen and act as food for animals. More co2, more oxygen and food, more animals, more life. And I have never seen this mentioned in the media or anywhere else.
Of course CO2 is no pollutant - it's not even toxic - but its problem is the greenhouse effect. Leave science to the scientists. Unless you think communist media are suppressing the truth about CO2 being useful to plant life. It's their little communist secret, you know. On a related note, if I were you I'd be wary of drinking tap water. It's a vehicle for them to corrupt your vital fluids. |

Speculative BCH short at 0.0952 (BTC/BCH). Already in the green.  |

I've never understood how lefties can be bitcoiners. They seem mutually exclusive.
TIL I am mutually exclusive. In other news, mem pool is up. Bcash camp brewing? |

The cynical view of the Bcash fork is as follows:
- November is historically the strongest month. Bitcoin almost always goes up in November
- The fork date is 15 November. This is smack in the middle of a rally month
- This date is a deliberate choice. Of the 365 days in the year, picking the single strongest price day of the year is no coincidence
- We know from past experience that forks cause price rallies
- The conclusion is that this hard fork date was deliberately chosen to create a rally
- Roger Ver has excellent skills at social media
- Crypto twitter and Reddit love a drama
- Roger Ver, Jihan Wu and Craig Wright all love a dollar
- They are not the sort of guys to let a disagreement over relatively minor technical aspects get in the way of making a dollar
- They certainly do not lose money to uphold obscure points of principle
- Therefore the purpose of this hard fork is to make money, with a story line played out in social media drama
- The most likely beneficiaries of a rally are existing bag holders
- The biggest bag holders are Jihan, Ver and Calvin Ayre (who controls Craig Wright)
- The most likely explanation is that the Bcash fork is just a whale game by Jihan, Ver and Ayre to suck the punters out of their money
- They will probably have a Kumbaya moment at some point and all will be forgotten, after they have lined their pockets
- Because after all, it’s just a game to them
[/list] ... and I got the behind the scenes view too ("fine conspiracy theorist", as I put it earlier). Makes sense. Thanks. |

Dude I never said I liked it. But it is what the science shows. Reality is what it is.
link that science shit if you'd be so kind link the science shit where morality is measured and correlated with amygdala size link the connection to stimulation of the amygdala link where this is measured over significant history You didn't know the Romans kept accurate records of amygdala sizes, even more so during the dissolution of the empire? So did the Egyptians. Unfortunately, in Mesopotamia amygdala screening never really took hold: they were too busy figuring out how to write their laws on clay. Luckily, we have a huge collection of fossil amygdalas coming from that area, with date tags attached. Clay tags, of course. |

Who could the forkers be? Bitmain or some opponent? The temporary bump in price may look good for Bitmain's books with IPO investors, but I think consensus is that the steady post-fork value will take a dent. This makes it less likely that it is a Bitmain tactic. But are there any real opponents in that camp? Serious question? You must have been offline for quite some time. I have over 100 pages to catch up indeed, and no time or energy for it. Besides, these fork schemes are often not what they look like from the outside, so I was fishing for more viewpoints: either fine conspiracy theorists or bch pundits. I got the latter, thank you. |

I don't use to look at the price anymore
but when I do it's $6400.
Yeah I have a notification tell me when it moves 3% in a day. That damn thing is getting dusty. What do you use for such notification? |

Hm, V8. Quick, flawless fact finding. Hint: you might be spoiling us. |

I have no time to play the catch up game these days unfortunately, so maybe someone has already said that, but bear with me.
I saw btc slightly ramping up, and some momentum is still holding on Monday. A bit unusual lately.
I also see bch climbing up some.
Conspiracy theory cum SOMA prediction: you-know-who got themselves some cheap corn during the latest low sideways, and they are now ready to prop up bcash for some time - or at least to keep it from falling during the early bull run we've stepped in.
What's your opinion?

Can't hang around here much these days. It seems the less wall observing there is to be made, the more activity proliferates in the WO thread!

Haha you ain’t talking about me i guess  Its just you and me left Mic. The last bulls left standing in the WO. Bitcoin is pushing hard out from under the bear triangle. Go Bitcoin Go ! Not quite the only ones. I've closed all my short positions. It's too unstable now and it feels like gambling no matter how much thought one puts into it. |
