Bitcoin fees are lower than during the scaling debate, just check the blocks. Also by design one day the transaction fees will be the only thing supporting the network and Bitcoin was designed for big translations and mimicking gold, that is, not for the poor. If you can use for smaller transactions it is a profit and not guaranteed to happen in the future.

Good video with some good bullish predictions in national american TV.. it looks like all these boomers are catching up slowly. That woman say that she owns several cryptos because she thinks it will be like the early internet stocks, and she doesnt know if bitcoin will be the one that wins.

Now they just need to learn how 99.99% of altcoins are shitcoins.

Japan continues to lead in Bitcoin trading, guess japan is hope for the future of cryptocurrencies ;

The largest single address (1JCe8z4jJVNXSjohjM4i9Hh813dLCNx2Sy) since late last year has recently moved about 57% of the coins to numerous addresses... my first thought given that the movements took place within a 3 hour window on the 8th turning into the 9th of August was that this address belonged to BTC-e... largely due to the news out that they were able to recover 55% of seized funds. But if that were the case and you had control over the master address, why wouldn't you move everything?

Anyone else have thoughts on the recent movement of coins?

Bitcoin is now a requirement. So it will be difficult for people not to buy bitcoin. Let alone the increasing number of enthusiasts will bitcoin even though the price of bitcoin is now soaring.

.. a step forward we waited for more than 2 years to see!

And what do brave bitcoiners do? They mourn about a new Altcoin.

What a joke.

Pretty much topic, I think it's good to just keep Bitcoincash for a while instead of dumping it immediately. As long as it's free coins, Why not wait and see if it even goes higher. Even if it goes down you can sell it for 200 or 300$ (the original price) when it reaches at that range.

Is it possible BCH price will reach $1000?
If yes, how long will it take to reach $1000?
If not, what the reason BCH price can not reach $1000?

Well it certainly has got the support. No. in the market cap already, and the value is great, especially if you think it is an altcoin.
So we can all agree that bitcoin cash is doing alright as an altcoin?

Don´t let you irritate by the Youtube title, Bill Gates says only a few words.

I am very curious about your opinion about this video, it made me thinking, but then Roger Ver popped up and im not sure what I shall think.

There was the talk of Segwit first and large Chinese miner went for hardfork.
In fact the hardfork eased the path for Segwit. So I think segwit is imminent now.
How quick will it occur?

they've released an official statement today in a couple of hours ago:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2056158.0
use google translate or look at comment #13, someone already did.
who would have thought they come back this soon and promise a refund!

the interesting line is the last one and says this Alexander guy wasn't their owner.

Does anyone know what time exactly that the fork will occur? and is this BCC 'air drop' suppose to hit exchanges at the exact same time?

It would be nice to know a time, so you can grab some tea and watch the charts seizure.  

It is a well observed fact that, bitcoin is doing amazing and all over the place thousands are accepting it as a medium of exchange. That being so though, it is clear that it has a disruptive nature to the current monetary system. In africa, in Ethiopia in Particular(since i am from there), the government system is awfully slow to adopt to such disruptive technologies. Unlike the developed world, who mostly by now are going with the punches and are investing in mining facilities and what so ever related investment worthy projects around block chains and the likes, i am afraid Most African governments' will have a hard time just with the thought of giving their power away for the people to manage their own money in a decentralized manner.

It will be as good as instant dead.

Some people will probably try to pump/dump it, to make a quick buck out of it, but that's it. And the only reason Exchanges are widely accepting it is because they are simply businesses; transaction fees.

The community is with its developers, not with a bunch of greedy miners.
