Why are  institutional investors requesting early access then?

I wonder how much institutional money is ready to enter the bitcoin economy with Gemini?

I think you should not say "we" like you are a fellow bitcoin enthusiast.  You are a troll, remember?

I hope people realize a vote for 8mb isnt a vote for XT its a vote for core devs to update core.

And is it safe to have it shipped?

Kwuckduck is a troll now trying to save face and is trying to be more believable since trolls are dismissed so quickly.  He only posts in the speculation forum and only after a price drop to spread his agenda.  He's a joke and everybody knows it.

If we dip below 16k I think I'm going to sell half my stocks and move into physical gold.  I'm not going through 08 again.

This belongs in alt discussion

Will Gemini have a effect on price?

Jeeze new accounts already deleted.  Lol

Why do you guys make new accounts to comment on your own posts?  Do you also like your own Facebook posts as well since nobody else does?

I think finally resolving the block size debate will cause a increase in price.

I'd rather explain Biff forking the 1955 timeline with the almanac then try to explain a bitcoin fork here.

Nobody is going to mine a bitcoin with 10% of the hashingpower of the real bitcoin after the fork.  The dust will settle after only a few blocks in my opinion and the losers will quickly switch over with their tail between their legs.  The fuders spreading lies about XT are just as bad as the speculation trolls.

Just so its clear for everybody XT and core are the same coins right now.  No coins are changed that were made before a fork.  Only after the fork do you need to be cautious of where you get your coins.

Anybody saying their going to double their btc is a troll.
No you don't have to do anything.  The only coins to be worried about would be ones bought after the fork.

It doesn't really matter what us little guys do.  I'll be sitting back and waiting to see what all the big miners do then I'll follow suite. 

Why is a bigger block thread in the speculation forum?  This should be in the main discussion forum.

Are the core devs even doing anything about this?  Or is Gavin the only one being pro active?  Is the core devs policy to wait until the mempool is permanently backlogged then rush out a fix?

This is correct.  XT nodes currently at 133.  I wouldn't even give this scenario any thought until XT nodes is around 1000.  Right now it looks like there is no chance of a majority going to XT.
