Η θεμελιώδης ανάλυση του Bitcoin συνηγορεί προς μεσοπρόθεσμη καθοδική τάση, τουλάχιστον για όσο διάστημα δεν λύνεται το πρόβλημα της επεκτασιμότητας. Σημαντικά εγχειρήματα όπως  to Storj και ο περιηγητής Brave  εγκαταλείπουν το Bitcoin και στρέφονται στο Ethereum. Χαρακτηριστικά οι εκπρόσωποι του Storj δήλωσαν: «Όσον αφορά τις πληρωμές παρόχων του Φεβρουαρίου, πληρώσαμε πάνω από $1600 σε τέλη συναλλαγών, ή περίπου 13% του ολικού ποσού. Αυτό δεν είναι διατηρήσιμο ή επιδεικτικό μείωσης». Σταδιακά η κοινότητα χρηστών του Bitcoin συρρικνώνεται.

Roger Ver hasnt replied yet. Maybe or definitely, he is Bluffing. Just wants to create Panic by saying that he will dump his 300k BTC on market. but market is too strong.

If he is true & truly believes in SHITCOIN UNLIMITED, he should accept this deal.

This sounds like a great deal for both of us.  I look forward to ironing out the exact details and terms.  I'm super busy for the next 48 hours,  but would love to connect after that.

Look, I am one of the biggest BU supporters here and I would have no problem with LN + bigger blocks!
That way the market can at least have some free choice how it wants to scale.

But you have to understand core delayed delayed delayed.... They could come out TODAY and capitulate and propose
a blocksize increase and it would probably end this war...but they are so stubborn and arrogant
that they will fight to the end, even if it means trying to fight after a fork happens, even if it means
destroying Bitcoin in hopes that they remain in control.  

lol
first you blockstreamers spread fear of a fork....
then you beg and demand a fork

yet the non-blockstreamers want to remain as one independant diverse consensus single network.

so i will just laugh at all the fear then begs of fork hypocrisy

LN has a niche.. as a voluntary side service

i do fear blockstreams TIER control and pushing people into blockstream managed LN hubs due to independant LN hops being more costly

alot less fear than blockstreams president.
BU wants to work with other peers on a level playing field and if core dropped blockstream dominance. so that core is back on the same level playing field by core ading a few lines of code to by dynamic capable. then it decentralises and diversifies the network back to independance where the network has no president. even if the "team" of each brand do...



core came around 2013 (4 years).. assuming core are the 'satoshi crew' is misleading false and a major laugh

LN's issues are not solved by segwit.
LN has other problems and attack vectors.
many dev groups have been playing with possible LN's ever since the existence of multisig.

the real problems of LN is not malleation, or quadratics. but instead

1. lack of guarantee a tx gets added to a block (like any tx for the last 8 years)
2. address-reuse (signing many times allows the LN counterparty to consturst possible privkey from the data that gets signed multiple times within an LN for the ln counter party to sign both sides without the first parties consent)
3. the UTXO count of say 1 billion people depositing into a multisig = 2billion UTXO's (each channel having 2in-2out)
4. multiple other blackmail/extortion risks

multisigs are not 'broke' but nothing segwit offers guarantee's fixes either.

but the big picture is not about just getting LN live for user adoption as a voluntary side service. its to get core in control as the top tier upstream of the network. and also biasedly in control of what gets relayed to ensure their LN hubs reign supreme.

BU never has and never will want contentious or bilater splits..  if they did they would have
set deadlines
set threasholds
addd ban hammer code

but no. non-core implementations want to use the real consensus of bitcoin to be part of a PEER network.

it is core that hate the other peers,
it is core that prefer a TIER network where they are the upstream filters
it is core that have the deadlines the zealous ban hammer scores the bip9 and UASF banning triggers
it is core that have begged non-core implementations to split but they laughed at core devs.

in essense it is core that are having the fear of losing their chance of being in control of a TIER network and having to either be part of a consensus PEER network, or activate their own banning mechanisms to start their own alt.

just ask yourself. BU, classic, xt and a dozen other implementations have been happily plodding away for 2 years on mainnet just leaving it up to the community to decide if they want it or not.

yet core have done all they can to drum up the drama and point fingers and play the victim card while desperate to push their money making LN hubs into action while keeping bitcoin native utility at a minimum to force it.
