Blockchain Overview
There have been 1025 blocks mined since the hard fork.

(1452 blocks behind the original chain)


The Bitcoin Cash blockchain is currently operating at 13% of the original chain's difficulty.


The original chain has grown 2.11GB more than the Bitcoin Cash blockchain.


It is currently 8% more profitable to mine on the original chain.

No need to worry, nothing to see here...

WHat percentage of BCH do you guys have in relation to the fork moment? ie: 0%, 50%, 110%....

50%
First half I was able to sell on hitbtc for around 0.3 BTC/BCH while people were ignoring me here and asking each other what exchanges were accepting BCH...

$4427 Smiley will go above 4500 and 5000$ later Wink
after $5000 if we will go higher we can touch $10 000 very soon

Since you won the bet I'll assume you have some reputation here and take your forecast seriously.

One of the Biggest Ethereum and Bitcoin Exchanges Got Hacked
Robert Hackett

Hackers have stolen user data and money from Bithumb, one of the top five biggest Ethereum and Bitcoin cryptocurrency exchanges, the company said Friday.

For the fucks's sake! The shitty exchange was hacked, NOT THE BLOCKCHAIN!
This ruminant asshole should be sued for spreading such a misinformation!

And the price dip after the Winklevoss ETF denial was much more brief and more shallow than most ppl expected (unless I misremember), so yeah I suppose it would count.


I bought the top. $1200 by that time. Was one of my first big moves in Bitcoin. Had to wait 2 months to believe in it again. An eternity for someone who came from ForEx.


So could this be the same thing leading up to Aug 21? Yeah, I suppose it could. Although it doesn't seem to me that Aug 21 will be as big an event from a trading perspective as bip141 lock-in. The former is guaranteed (now), the latter was not until shortly before it happened.

It's not much revealing. BIP141 lock-in means nothing if a big mess occurs around 8 days from here and the real Bitcoin supported by Core gets the lesser share of hashrate.

What big mess are you talking about? SW has been thoroughly tested, unlikely to cause problems.

I suppose you're referring to the fact that bitcoin core 0.15.0 will be disconnecting nodes which run segwit2x but I can't find when that's supposed to happen ...


The mess I'm referring is the split. I have no doubt about SW testing and it's reliability.

Is there something that LTC /Charlie Lee has missed ?

Exactly.
Congrats for you memory accuracy. I remember after a few days (maybe weeks) after SegWit activation on LTC the price dropped to 10+ mBTC. That's when I bought some and made huge profit selling for 20+mBTC. But the price only skyrocketed to 20+mBTC when Charlie Lee announced resignation from Coinbase to actively get back to LTC project.
Many posted here it was an event not related, although I believe that was the trigger to rise LTC price to double.

Flo has a total market cap of 14 million.  BTC trades every day 1.4 billion, so how is it having that effect.

My thought on litecoin rising was its benefitted as the general idea of segwit is in the news as valid proposal for bitcoin.   It kinda lends authority to litecoin that its already got it working and litecoin is even cited in the reasoning of some pools for proceeding with the larger market.
I see the volume traded for Litecoin in value exceeds bitcoin, at least today

Actually IMO it's about Charlie Lee resign from Coinbase to focus on Litecoin development. https://news.bitcoin.com/charlie-lee-resigns-from-coinbase-to-focus-on-litecoin

one guy changing his job pulls in millions of extra pump? sheesh. it don't take much these days.

AFAIK he's the creator of Litecoin, isn't he? If it's true it really matters. Imagine Satoshi coming back to defeat Jihan-Ver evil empire?

I know you didn't ask for my opinion, but I figured I'd toss in my thoughts anyway ...

I wouldn't draw too many parallels between price action around segwit activation for litecoin vs bitcoin. There's a tiny but nevertheless worrisome chance -- especially worrisome to new investors -- that SegWit activitation in 8 days will trigger some unexpected software bug and cause some sort of technical disaster. So when SegWit activates and the first SW transaction propagates without mishap, that could be a little bullish. So same effect as bip141 lock-in, although maybe not as pronounced. Up until a few weeks ago, investors have been viewing litecoin as a hedge against the possibility of unending deadlock on the scaling debate. SW lockin and activation was less of a concern for litecoin than for bitcoin, relatively speaking (relative to the other forces driving litecoin price).

For context, I'm viewing this under the assumption that the current uptrend is fueled by institutional investors who are just now getting comfortable with bitcoin investing. So I try to interpret events from what I imagine their perspective to be.


Thank you, your serious reply is very welcome.
If I recall correctly ETF's result was exactly what we can describe as a "buy the rumor, sell the news" event. Don't you think this "uptrend fueled by institutional investors" can be analogous move for an "already-vaccinated" market?

ETF's result? ...

Winklevoss Brothers' back in march. For how long have you been around here?

I would not be surprised if there is a dip after activation. I then am not sure from then until the November fork. There will be obvious FUD around and this usually causes a drop in price.

I wouldn't be confident to say where the price will be until after the November shenanigans. If all goes will after the fork I can see us finishing this year over $5k with not too much trouble. I'm not saying 2xxxs are out of the question but I'm pretty confident we will finish this year higher than we are now.


I am no trader, I just hodl but I enjoy playing with a little TA and apart from any unforeseen events we know what fundamentals we have in store so judge how you will.


I'm sure there are people here who's opinion is far more solid than mine anyway.

These are just my thoughts on the matter but I'm trying not to be too bullish.

Thank you. I value your opinion, reason why I mentioned you.

Is this that ackward moment in which people that were praying for a dip a few hours ago are now too scared to rebuy?

BIP 141 (Segregated Witness) activation is scheduled to take place in: 1175 Blocks (8.15 days)



Hi bitserve,

Do you think the price will go up after activation in just over a week? I mean surely it's priced in as it's a guarantee now. Seems strange it going up at that moment when everyone knows about it.

Also I know btc is it's own beast but didn't litecoin drop after activation and then increase in price later?

Love to know everyone's thoughts here.



The only reference I can use is Litecoin. It kept pumping until just after activation. Then a mild drop that took some days(?)  to recover.

At the moment, Bitcoin is doing exactly the same. So it should keep rising until activation. I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks 5K during last days/hours before activation.

Of course, both are not the same. Litecoin didn't need Segwit as much as Bitcoin does, because it had no capacity problem... but Segwit is much more than that though.

There have been some interesting advances in Segwit wallets and even in Lighting Network. I think it will be those advances what will propel Bitcoin to new heights, but not sure if it will be right after activation or a few months later.

Also, Segwit "capacity increase" will become more noticeable as soon as more people and services start using segwit tx's, something that will come gradually over the next few months.

In conclusion, I don't fucking know.... But I think the scenario is very bullish and that, even if it dips now, it should keep rising later.

Right here I'd like bitserve, rjclarke2000, Elwar, Torque, lightfoot, infofront, JimboToronto and Searing's opinion.

Interesting times are coming. Segwit is about to activate. We already know Litecoin's behavior. But things are different right now. Another fork is about to happen. And this is not like the previous, when the honey badger just ignored the altcash for our cheers. About 8 days from here we may see Bitcoin's price submerge and another alt rise with (maybe) half BTC's value.

In my opinion it would be similar to March's Winklevoss ETF. There happened a rush from $800+ to $1200+ in a few minutes, then... BOOM! Two months to recover to another (very celebrated) ATH.

Not that I care about it, I learned my lesson from afrocoin's irresponsibility. I'm a Matrix hodlr since then.
I'm asking only because I'd like to have some help to predict a window where I could buy some cheap coins.

Thank you for you attention.

So I think I'm feeling ready to make the move to accept bitcoin as an advertised method of payment in my jewelry business. I've been toying with the idea and suggesting it to customers for awhile now for the reaction.  In July, about 70% had heard of it, 1% had some but wouldn't use it, and around 30% who had heard of it said "not for me".  This week I noticed a much broader interest in bitcoin from my customers which turned into short conversations and several eavesdroppers approached me later to ask more about it.

My customers are largely middle and upper middle class.
I have a 17 day show starting this week and I've already printed the sign. BTCitcoin Accepted Here!

Yo da real MVP!

All Crypto Market Cap.: $141.005.766.671
BTC Market Cap.........: $73.090.413.146
BTC Dominance.........:  51.8%

Can you get this stat from a week ago. Would be interesting to see the BTC Cap %, then.

Alts are falling flat from a week ago, naturally lol

On August 6th BTC Market Cap was $53,014,691,482 BTC Price was $3214.71 (https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20170806/)

Hey that's cool, but I don't see what % of total market BTC was, then. Maybe its there, or the Total market cap from that snapshot page as well.

I could be blind lol, I'm really tired

True, % BTC Dominance is missing for historical.

https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage

47% dominance a week ago

Thanks bro.
