I am genuinely looking forward to seeing what response you, brg444, icebreaker, hdbuck et al. provide for our entertainment if the network actually forks to classic and no disaster occurs. All that brazen supercilious venom spewed over the last year with potentially nothing to show for haha.

Well I was mocked by some when I made the thread (cognitive dissonance?) but the pattern is very clear now. News that increases likely-hood of contentious hard fork always leads to price drops. When coup attempts seem unlikely and support for them drops price increases.



Some (too many to actually recall) of the notable events:

XT released: huge drop

XT looses support price increases

Coinbase CEO and some other companies gives support to XT, price drop

XT looses support price increases

Coinbase says it is trailing XT, price drops

XT looses support price increases


Classic is announced price drops

Classic claims support of majority miners (admittedly Mike 'traitor' Hearn Rage quit then also and influenced price) price drops sharply

Classic binaries released and Gavin makes more pro fork propaganda, price drops

I think that if you are sure that "I just don't get it" I am sure that you not only don't get nothing (much more than me) but even that don't understand what I have write. And that the only thing that you can get and sold as true about everything is only that is true only in your head.

1. Why told you that are more than them signed that pool the people who want to sell in this case? And even with big letters. Have you counted all them in the dream wondered a night ago? Or have hear the discussion had with her girlfriend your best friend and he is well informed about this "fact"?

2. You tell: "No doubt, there are MANY more people who feel the same but just are not so adamant or technically skilled to complete this procedure." From what kind of facts become this your full, unassailable, arrogant sureness, explained with big letters (because I am not capable to understand it with little letters)? Have you again "seen" those in the above dream or on another made one night ago?

3. You must understand that I get only the facts and nothing else. And I speak or write only based on those and not using your above sources. I get that when the number of the people who will want to sell their bitcoins will arrive at that amount get by you in your dreams I will make another post using the words that I will want to write after the get of THE FACTS I WILL HAVE IN FRONT OF MY EYES.

4. Why have quoted only part of my post and not all? Maybe because have not get all that was write there. Read it again and again (but not less that 1 thousand times because I get that if you will read it less, you again will not be able to get the everything needed to make a normal comment) and will get some things that make without sense some of your "gets" of my post commented in your post.

...But for sure know that not less than 23 thousand but even ten times more bitcoins be sold cannot cause some important thing to the price of bitcoin. Are 15 millions are the bitcoins in circulation. So the previous amounts are nothing compared to this amount. For sure will be a dump (maybe even big) of the price but in the same time for sure will be the increase of it at the normal value had before this possible dump.

Some would say allowing a company to capture the protocol, steer it to their will, while selling lackeys on the idea that it is all in the name of safety and decentralization... would be pretty reckless. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

It looks like some holders already started.

The amount of misinformation is really astounding regarding how blockchain works. I guess at this stage, no change can be done on bitcoin any more. Let's just freeze the code and prohibit any future change to it so that people get some peace in mind

the non-core guy are only implementing somethign really needed not like xt that were adding unecessary crap

There needs to be a market where they can put their money where their mouth is.

Если серьёзно - это беллитристика. Хотелось бы нечто такое:

Самая популярная в мире книга о Биткойне «Цифровое Золото: История Биткойна» выходит на русском языке. Издательство “Диалектика” только что анонсировало печатное издание, которое поступит в книжные магазины  в феврале-марте.

Книга журналиста New York Times Натаниэля Поппера (Nathaniel Popper) «Цифровое Золото: Невероятная История Биткойна» по праву считается наиболее популярной книгой о криптовалюте, вошедшей в список лучших бизнес-книг 2015 года в престижном листинге Financial Times. Книга Поппера быстро стала самой продаваемой по биткойн-тематике в Amazon и других западных интернет-магазинах. И вот теперь этот бестселлер станет доступен и русскоязычному читателю – об этом позаботилось издательство “Диалектика”.

С самого начала, я всегда говорил одно и то же: Биткойн – эксперимент. И как все эксперименты, он может потерпеть неудачу. Так что не инвестируйте в него больше, чем вы можете позволить себе потерять. Я говорил это в интервью, на сцене на конференциях, и по е-мэйлу. Так же как и другие известные девелоперы, такие как Гэвин Андресен (Gavin Andresen) и Джеф Гарзик (Jeff Garzik).

И хотя я всегда знал, что Биткойн может потерпеть неудачу, неизбежный вывод о том, что он-таки потерпел неудачу все же огорчает меня. Основы разрушены, и что бы ни происходило с ценой в ближайшее время, в долгосрочной перспективе, Биткойн будет идти только вниз. Я никогда больше не собираюсь принимать участие в разработке Биткойна и продал все свои монеты.
