there isn't an actual war unless someone attacks other chain. and there has been no such attacks. what they call "war" was simply miners choosing to mine a different altcoin that was more profitable while the creators of said altcoin still sticking to what they have been mining. (SV creators mining SV, BCH creators mining BCH)


it doesn't matter if you create a handful of large blocks in a controlled fashion. what matters are whether you can sustain creating that much every block of every day. and also whether you can still keep the system decentralized.
of course you can run a centralized server like Paypal or VISA and have 1 GB blocks! but what is the point of even having a cryptocurrency if you want to do that?

you have to ask yourself this: are they regulated?

the answer is simply NO.
they are running a token in an unregulated market, using a payment method with tokens and cryptocurrencies that are not regulated and they don't have a legitimate business either. and to top it all the method they are using (ICO) is not legal in most places in the world and is not regulated in anywhere.
so with all that not-regulated status why would they only choose one part of regulation which is KYC?

BCH didn't die, it just upgraded from shit_1 to shit_2 and then another shit called BSV was also created so we now have shit_2 and shit_3 out of BCH.

it is a good time to dump BSV though since it had a very nice >100% pump. but time is running out as people are finding out ways of dumping it and are moving ahead with their dumps.
specially since the light wallet version of Electron cash is being easily used to dump it.

i agree but SEC can not do anything in a decentralized market short of banning everything! not to mention that publicly they don't show their true faces. for example WC doesn't say he is creating BSV to scam people and make money in the process. he is claiming to be creating something useful although it is obviously shit.

true, except that nobody has ever been FUDing gold half as much as they are FUDing bitcoin and not even at the same large scale!!! so i think it is safe to say that when bitcoin drops like this despite all the circumstances it is performing well in some ways!

this is one of those things that people won't accept until it is already too late.

for the time being because of the drop and all the FUD that is circulating in the media some people fail to see the truth that is hidden behind the FUD so they don't see how bitcoin is under appreciated right now. but when it has already risen and above $10k again they will start FOMO buying.

"cheap" is a relative term and it is relative to bitcoin's true value not the value it had before and how much it has risen. and bitcoin's true value is a lot higher than $4k- $6k-etc...
it is also based on its supply and demand, which it has a limited supply the demand for bitcoin is constantly rising.

but the escrow address (found in OP) had enough bitcoin in it for payments (0.4BTC). the problem is that the manager (lutpin) is not counting posts anymore. he obviously doesn't have time to manage this campaign. maybe a change of manager is require, at least until he finds more free time to manage this campaign like before. he has been doing an excellent job up until he became busy and stopped communicating.

"thinking" alone means you would never go near a centralized shitcoin such as XRP that is fully premined and fully controlled by the company behind it where they can control literary anything even your funds and they can reverse or even steal any coin that you might have.
not to mention the pump and dumps they perform to make money and dump it on newbies heads to make themselves millionaires!

that is what happens when a country starts putting roadblocks in front of bitcoin's adoption. they can NOT stop bitcoin adoption so what happens is that when they close exchanges people go elsewhere and going elsewhere means scammers waiting for them to take their money on every corner because it becomes chaotic and unregulated.
you don't hear these things in other countries like Japan where people freely adopt bitcoin.

why would they sell something that is not moving? and why would they dump instead of selling?

put yourself in their shoes. imagine you have bought bitcoin and gotten tired of waiting for the bull run. would you immediately dump all you have on the market or will you wait because you know no matter what, the price will go up. besides unless you think they are all brainless, nobody dumps a lot of bitcoin in one go. they sell slowly.

this was a big ass dump which makes it manipulation not natural traders getting out because of boredom which doesn't make sense at all since we were in an accumulation phase!

they don't care about the price, of course they wanted a higher price but that still is free money that they earned out of thin air and with a little bit of social media drama.
not to mention the fact that now they are buying bitcoin at a much cheaper price compared to before! so that is even more profit.

do we have any updates about the payments? it has been over 2 months without pay already.

you can't change the fact that ICOs are useless and investing in them is a big gambling game. so no matter what you come up with, in the end ICOs will remain the same useless tokens that get pumped and dumped a little before they die and many of them fail in their infancy as more people realize how bad they are and how risky like a gamble these things are.

a trojan or generally speaking any malware is just another computer program that is running maliciously in the background and can do all sorts of things depending on how it is designed.
usually it is something like a keylogger to steal your private keys, passwords, ... and send them to the hacker. it can be clipboard hijacker to change the address you copy to the address of the hacker.
but another common thing they do is to check your hard disk for any cryptocurrency wallet files and they steal your coins from them.

to protect yourself you have to keep the malicious altcoins away from your important wallets. for example never install an altcoin wallet on a computer that contains your bitcoin wallet. you can always use a virtual machine (a sandbox) to install these things to have an extra layer of protection.

well if you really think that then sell and get out, nobody is forcing you to remain in bitcoin and on bitcointalk. but the thing is i doubt that you even believe in what you said yourself. you are just emotional mostly because your tokens that you were bag holding have no future and have been continuously getting dumped so you are in a huge loss, possibly somewhere between 80% to 95% loss.

as a BitcoinHodler what i do is that i continue buying bitcoin and whenever there is a dip like this i intensify my attention to buy even more at the bottom of the dip which is now.

my plans are to have a bigger amount of bitcoin (a big percentage of the 21 million total coins) so that i can consider myself wealthy. 21BTC is a starting destination for now but i plan to have a lot more. in a couple of years when the mass adoption occurs i would have a lot of bitcoins which would worth a lot.

if they are truly embracing cryptocurrencies in their current form and are improving the world then yes. but so far what i have seen is that everyone including these institutions that you are talking about are only interested in making profit from cryptocurrencies. for example most of them only use blockchain technology as some sort of hyped up term to sell their services or worse create an ICO.

it is not exactly gone, you can think of it as a rename + a fork where bitcoincash turned into bitcoincashABC and bitcoincashSV.

what really happened was 2 hard forks from a main chain. each fork changed the chain in a way to create a new chain not compatible with previous chain so in a way you can say BCH is gone.

there has always been a competition between the pumping altcoins with fake market cap to take each other's positions for years. this is not a new thing although ETH is a coin that has stuck up there for a long time thanks to the ICOs that have pumped it so much but now that the ICOs are failing just as fast as they got popular, the ETH price is dropping just as fast too and with it the fake market cap is evaporating and it loses its position.
