I already pointed out at the fact that Craig Wright is not satoshi nakamoto precisely because of the hardfork split situation and the coins being on his disposal, if he satoshi nakamoto, and the lack of movement of the coins.
According to Craig Wright he will compete against the current bitcoin, he looks like a very competitive guy that will try to crush his competition, well the most effective way to crush a competing fork is to get your coins and dump them into the competing fork. But guess what, he isn't going to do shit, because he doesn't own the million coins that satoshi had, because he is not satoshi.

There's a new video out by showtime, if it's legit, then we can see the real fight heights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLVkLbV2mO8Conor McGregor does not seem that taller than Mayweather, they are at the same eye level. Im saying "if its legit" because who knows if Mayweather is standing in something to appear taller for the shoot lol. We will see if this video showcasing fight heights is legit when the weight ins happen. |

I watched highlights of Floyd's last fight with Andre Berto 2 years ago. Floyd looked slower, less technical and less athletic. He looks like he's getting old and his skills are deteriorating. Not certain if that will factor into his fight with Conor. Floyd admitting he's not as good a boxer today as he was 2 years ago.
We may have a better idea of how good a boxer Conor is after he spars with Malignaggi.
There is no doubt that Mayweather is getting too old, no one can deny that and he is going to fight someone who hasn't boxed professionally in his entire life, I believe on that count Mayweather will have the edge of McGregor. As the best defensive boxer there is currently, I know he will carry the day. That little leprechaun is going to get his "wilttle feelers hurt" when he gets knocked the hell out by a little old man. He talked and talked until he finally convinced the little old man to come out of retirement....He picked the fight with the little old man and now that little old man is going knock that boy out....And, we all get to watch it happen! Why didn't he pick a fight with a real fighter, like Diaz....why's he fighting little old men? Well let's hope the old man is fit enough to withstand his youthful exuberance and can last the entire duration of the fight. I know Floyd is a good boxer but can he withstand connors punches? We live to see. Here's the problem: if he wins, he won by picking a fight with a little old man instead of fighting a REAL opponent, like Nate Diaz who'd already served him up twice. If he loses then he got whipped by a little old man who'd already hung up his gloves. So, neither situation proves Conor is a tough guy; in fact, all it proves is that he chooses the easiest fights which make the most money. He's not fighting this fight to prove he's tough because this fight wont prove he's tough....It wont prove nuttin' Well Mayweather has been in that situation before. LOL. They said he is afraid of Pacquaio and avoiding him for years. But he proves otherwise. Floyd even told that even if he win against Pacquiao he will still not getting the credit for fighting and defeating the little man. Which is true. The cycle will just repeats itself. This will always be the argument whichever fighter it is. Mayweather has been told to be scared of people for years. Ever since he started using his more defensive approach to beat fighters as he got older (because boxing casuals forget that Mayweather was knocking guys out in the begining when he was younger, he has 26 wins by KO) they started criticizing his style. In my book he is a legend. Overcame all of his obstacles, and adapted to always find a way to win. Now he just needs to win this one to finish with a perfect record and more money than you could ever count. And without taking any major damage. Just look at how a lot of 40 year old boxers look like compared to Mayweather, most can't properly talk. Of course there are people like Rocky Marciano which were able to take massive amounts of damage, and be able to retire undefeated and with perfect speech, but these guys have brick skulls and somehow don't get major brain trauma. |

August 1st is finally here. I hope everyone has their full nodes ready with all their bitcoins there. Time to dump all of our BCC for more free BTC. Easiest trade ever.
A reminder to get all of your coins off from exchanges and into your full nodes.
If you aren't running a full node, then put it in a paper wallet or something.
Just be ready to dump BitmainCoin, time to get some free chips.
How is this free? You've either bought BCC (which cost you something), expect it to get pumped up and then you'll sell on the quick rise. Is that correct? The concept of "you'll have an equal amount of BCC coins and BTC coins" does not mean you have double the number of coins. It means you'll be able to claim BCC OR BTC, not both. And your private keys are the source of record, they are interchangeable in both wallets. Once you claim your BCC you will now have an equal amount less available in BTC, and vice versa. There's nothing free about this, especially if you think BCC is going to fail. The only "lottery-like" win here is elect to take BCC immediately and the conversion is something like 1BTC:1000BCC and then BCC takes off days, weeks, or months after. You are overcomplicating things to be honest. When a fork happens, you get the same amount of coins you are holding on the legacy chain, on the other chain. So if you have 10 BTC, you have 10 BCC. Unless you think BCC has a future, and I don't, you can sell your BCC for BTC. Have you increased your BTC amount? yes. I don't care how much, you have it increased it doing nothing, therefore free. Sure. BTC against the USD may fall, because of the whole thing being a bit of a mess, but it will recover, and when it recovers, you will be holding more BTC than you did. If you have the 1 BTC = 1 BTC mindset and stop caring about USD, you will see my point. If you believe in BTC long term, that should be your mindset, just to make more BTC, and dumping BCC for BTC is a way to make more BTC. If you don't want to risk it, you can hold both and see what happens, that is understandable as well. I just don't see BCC gaining any traction, other than some dumb pumps ETC style (even tho in the case of Ethereum the non-original token is the original legacy chain... but I wouldn't go into that) |

I have all of my coins ready, but I forgot to move some of my coins that are in an Electrum wallet that I have in a laptop and I can't get that laptop until tomorrow, so I hope that these coins also get the BCC equivalent amount.
Are you going to instantly dump all of your BTC for BCC?
Will you watch the market for a while?
I guess you meant to say BCC for BTC. And yes, im going to sell my BCC for BTC, but im not sure if I will do it instantly, or I will speculate with it. There's people with a lot of money behind the BCC agenda, so they may pump it. In any case, I don't believe in BCC long term. It has nothing to offer, the network effect is dead, no one accepts it, and it has a blocksize limit of 8MB ,which means I wouldn't be able to run a node in no time. No thanks. It has no segwit, so that is good for the ones that thing segwit is a mistake and could lead to problems in the future. If segwit has any problems, I think they will show up way after BCC drops to the floor. BTC remains the safest bet of all cryptos. |

Is Capitalism flawed? I used to believe that Capitalism solves issues, but if I really look around me, it actually only creates more issues that were not here before.
> There are many rich people with tons of capital but there are more unemployed people that will not have access to that
> People are living in luxury mansions and driving very expensive car, and then kids are starving in other places
> Profits of companies is going up, but real wages going down, people are living paycheck to paycheck
> Everyone is in debt, nobody has any savings, and most people are working part time jobs
> Nobody has a house, nobody can afford one, yet real estate speculators own thousands of them
> Banks have trillions of $ of money, but they still charge you 50$ / transaction because of their greed
> People have no future prospects, no career opportunity, they just live from paycheck to paycheck trying to pay off the debt and buy some shit GMO food filled with poison, because why sell healthy food to the public when the GMO food is more profitable?
It looks to me like Capitalism is flawed. Nobody has any money and everyone is suffering. I think a universal income must be implemented as fast as possible.
Capitalism creates great income inequality, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It is a scientifically proven those who make $75,000+ annually are essentially as content with their lives as multimillionaires. The reasons for this are many, but mostly because the rich work more hours... even though they have more, they spend way more time working and therefore have far less time to actually enjoy the fruits of their labor. I agree with what has being said about how capitalism is the best we've found thus far and I honestly don't know any alternatives, but this "the rich work more hours" narrative is one of the biggest bullshits ever. The rich work smarter, not harder. The working class spends most of their time working. Established rich families just live off dividends. If you have 10 millions in the bank, you can sit on your ass all day as you get dividends from safe stocks. That is what all these rich kids from instagram do. Oh and now they even get more money by flaunting their wealth on social media since these rich guys get tons of followers which leads to ad revenue. The people that go from nothing to rich are the ones that spend the most hours trying to figure out a way to get rich (assuming you just don't luck out), but after that, once you are established with enough millions, you can live off passive income and do fuck nothing if you don't want to. I work my ass off all day, then spend the little amount of free time I have researching crypto stuff trying to get rich. I laugh at the idea of all these rich cunts working more time than me. |

Not certain if that will factor into his fight with Conor. Floyd admitting he's not as good a boxer today as he was 2 years ago.
We may have a better idea of how good a boxer Conor is after he spars with Malignaggi.
You may want to take a lot at want Paulie says sparing with Conor: After sparring with Conor McGregor, Paulie Malignaggi says ‘there’s a method to Conor’s madness’Those thinking that Conor McGregor and his team of coaches are just winging it heading into his massive boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. are mistaken, according to Paulie Malignaggi, McGregor’s newest boxing sparring partner. Malignaggi said Friday night in an interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that pundits who might think McGregor is treating this as just a money grab are very wrong. “He’s got a game plan behind it,” Malignaggi said. “It’s not what people think. There’s a game plan behind what he’s doing. There’s a method to Conor’s madness.” https://www.mmafighting.com/2017/7/22/16013890/after-sparring-with-conor-mcgregor-paulie-malignaggi-says-theres-a-method-to-conors-madnessWell everybody has a gameplan, .... until they are hit in the face. That is the problem. Floyd Mayweather also has a plan until he himself is also hit in the face. They are both human but Conor is stronger, bigger and in his peak while Floyd is older and he is risking himself to lose for the first time against a nonboxer of all people. Does this mean MMA is better than boxing? Mayweather has survived big shots. Round of vs Shane Mosley, massive shot, wobbly legs, he survived and won in great fashion. Mayweather has an underrated chin because he has barely been hit with clean punches. I doubt Conor will land a clean punch on him.

If he loses against Mayweather in a boxing match, it's not that much of a big deal, but he is still getting more money for a loss than he would make fighting Diaz, Ferguson, Khabib and Woodley. How can you reject that offer? |

I just saw this yesterday live... it was sad to see Daniel Cormier devastated after the KO. It looked to me like he was winning every round. He was doing what he had to do, but Jon Jones played an intelligent game and tricked him into focusing on his hands too much, looks like he forgot Jon Jones has super long legs that can come out of any angle. He wasn't covering his right side, he leaned to the right side, and the kick was coming in this direction = game over.
Still no official statement by DC post-fight, no interviews or tweets.

It's good to see you didn't leave, Betcoin.ag still kicking ass. Great campaign, hope to continue in here for a long time.
Regarding BCC: Just ignore it, don't bother setting up wallets or anything, it's meaningless. Stick to the real Bitcoin.

Hi
I'm new to bitcointalk and I would like if you suggest me an ICO
I would like to discover an ico with nice potential to do x10 within months.
I will write in this message what I find interesting.
I don't see a single good ICO right now, the ICO madness is fading a bit I think, all the big ICOs already happened, maybe we can find some interesting ones as the ICO madness fades, so we need to research and find the ones that aren't under the spotlight, even tho im very skeptical of the whole ICO model, maybe something like Byteball is better than ICO... everything has pros and cons. |

Blocknet could be the best investment of 2017. Here's why: Exchanges are centralized: - They can be insolvent without you knowing - They decide which coins to add -- which hurts a lot of crypto projects - They could be trading against you without you knowing - They require KYC to stay complaint and you have no idea where that information goes. Isn't it strange that people want privacy with things like Monero and Zcash, but we give exchanges our identification? Interoperability of blockchains is going to be huge: - With a Blocknet backend, people can trustlessly use any cryptocurrency they want for anything that accepts bitcoin Poloniex, Kraken, and Bitfinex have each been facing problems, and soon people will look for decentralized exchanges out of need, not just a "nice to have". Blocknet is the only fully trustless cross blockchain exchange that is working. Right now it's working in testnet with BTC/SYS, BTC/BAY, and BTC/LTC. The devs can trivially add any currency that is BIP65/CLTV (including ZCash, Dash etc.), they plan on integrating ETH soon, and the exchange works for any combination of pairs. AMA link (includes discussion about Blocknet vs Cosmos): https://www.reddit.com/r/theblocknet/comments/676buj/ask_anything_about_blocknet_qa/Blocknet vs Ark: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=829576.msg18785897#msg18785897Join the Slack: https://blocknet.herokuapp.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/The_BlocknetBlocknet requires that you are running a full node every coin that you want to trade. Explain to me how the fuck it can replace the ease of use of centralized exchanges. If Blocknet worked in a browser and didn't require you download anything then centralized exhanges would be dead, but its not the case at all. |

It all depends on whether or not we manage to see Segwit gets locked-in within current period. If it happens, I am quite confident that we'll at least make an attempt to break through the $3000 level in the coming 24 or so hours. We already experienced some sort of a false ATH not that long ago, but in order to settle as a proper ATH, the entire market needs to follow. I wonder what all those sub $2000 dumpers are thinking right now - they likely don't share people's excitement here.  The signaling for BIP91 is currently projected to be locked in during this period:  There are still some miners that aren't signaling yet so once Slush signals for it then it's on and we'll go $3000+ easy, we'll have some really good bitcoin months. We'll see how alts do with a very strong bitcoin. 3000$ dollars are easy for Bitcoin to reach it,it can be happen in the next month or even next week, but the question is,will it be an asset which is always increasing instead of decreasing in value like before ? if it's too volatile and keep going like that,doesn't that mean someone will lose it and someone will gain it ? and for those who's not lucky enough and keep losing on it,doesn't that mean he'll get out from this and every people who's losing on it will get away from this which is make this asset become unpopular? let's hope it would be the best asset and no matter who's losing on it will always keep trying and support this. PS : if my prediction is correct,we should see it in 1 august or 30 july.we can see another ATH in the next week. Bitcoin has only gone up since it started. If you can hold and sell then that's your problem, I never sold and im up bigtime. I could have sold in the big crash to $400 in august last year but I held. You can't bitch and complain because volatility happens in small marketcaps. $40 billion is nothing, this should make you happy because the growth potential is huge. Until BTC is like 6 figures we'll never stop seeing volatility but that's ok as long as we keep making higher floors. It's all about setting higher floors, everything else is just noise. |

Price is recovering nicely now that it seems clear that segwit is going in and the hardforks are getting rejected. As long as we continue this path and nothing changes, the price should keep going higher with no stopping. How many years until we hit an ATH? Last time it was $2980 on Bitstamp, $2889.5 Bitfinex $3003 , it would be cool to get past $3000 on all of the exchanges this time.

Bitcoin is shooting up now to the sky passing $2500 again and getting closer and close to another all time high. Looks like we are good to go for $3000+ this time with the scaling issue solved as BIP91 activates. Several top 10 alts on the red including ETH and LTC.

ETH is just such an usafe place to be and it keeps showing. It would be hilarious to see ETH, ETH2 and ETC and ETC2 since it would always create 2 more splits not only one. In a long enough timeline there will be infinite ETH's because there will be infinite hacks... good luck with that. |

Yep just like ltc.
Ltc is different. Its a complete scam. Why you say LTC is a complete scam? I'm a fan and holding a huge amount LTC very hate when you say that not have reason, can you tell me the reason make you say LTC is scam coin helps me? LTC is not an scam compared to other altcoins. The question is what do you expect from LTC. I still think LTC is a good place to be for the time being, but if segwit locks in on bitcoin, then I don't really see the point of LTC anymore. LTC's hashrate is even more of a chink monopoly than BTC. |

I see something like a "crypto cycle" happening in times like this, where the imminence of a fork cause this kind of fear. People get afraid, prices go down, fear starts to fade, hodlers buy the dip, prices start to recover, it brings new people that never went trought those hard times before so the pump and FOMO beggings, prices to the moon, escalability is needed again, new fork imminence and everything starts again.
But the thing is, from the long term perspective, each cycle brings more people to the crypto world and it helps developing and improving the technology so maybe this cycle is over, maybe is not yet, so think long term and enjoy the ride =)
I bought the Bitcoin XT dip, forkers got owned and I increased my BTC. I bought the Bitcoin Classic dip, forkers got owned and I increased my BTC. I bought the Bitcoin Unlimited dip, forkers got owned and I increased my BTC. If you bought the segwit2x dip the other day, you would have increased your BTC. You know the deal. Everytime some idiot comes up with their altcoin, buy the dip and the price will recover sooner or later. |
|
|
|
|
It's over for now, the bull run will continue as long as a hardfork is out of the picture. In November or around there then it's time to go into some alt again to profit from the idiots selling so we can buy more cheap BTC on the dip.
