I would advice nobody do this.  It's just plain stupid.

XT must have more support then i thought.  Every thread has people shouting from the mountaintop about evil XT.  So much fear.  If XT was ignored it would have been the better strategy.

Core devs don't give 2 shits about XT or blocksize.  They don't even care about core anymore.  They probably prefer XT just take over so they can be done with bitcoin.  Notice how they're silent on what's going on with no statements being made?

Stupid idea

I run a node but dont mine.  Suprised a hero member doesnt know the difference

Bitcoin is really 5-10 years away from being mainstream imo.  Buy coins now and put them in cold storage and forget about day to day price swings or you will go gray.  Now if price doesn't get a bump around the halving I will be a little concerned.

People saw that price as a steal and bought quickly.

It sucks that such a small amount of btc can crash the price so hard.  It was only a 10k sell on finex and that triggered all the margin calls.  Bitcoin still has a long way to go.   Just think how the market would react to a 10k sell at $5,000 per coin?

I'm thinking about selling and buying back later.  I can't see any reason price would go up from here will all the bad media attention around the fork.

None of it matters till January.

Who cares?

If bitcoin fails nobody will trust any of their money in a cryptocurrency for a long time.

Interesting choice of words.  I guess ill be participating in a 51% attack for the next American president next year.

If the 1mb limit stays tx fees will rise higher then visa.

I believe the issue is the devs behind XT.  If core devs would release a upgrade to 8mb everybody would be on board.  But they want to stay as is so they can make money off lightning networks.  Or so I heard.

Core devs will never increase block size so all this discussion is pointless.

Do nodes really matter though if miners don't switch to XT?

So you're saying its not a altcoin?

I have 100 bitcoins on my XT client.  I will sell them for $50 each.  But I guess since its just a altcoin nobody here would be interested?

A institutional investor had to sign up on there site first.  Then they just received that email from them to get the process started.  So institutional investors have started the process and will be trading.  To say it will be "zero" makes you seem like a troll.
