[...] btc1 [...] If they do decide to fork off, no relevant economic nodes will join them. [...]
I wouldn't bet my bitcoins on that. You sound a little too convinced or extremist, which reveals uncertainty. Lets just see, the market will decide for us. |

 Andreas confirms his position on Monero. Got a link? I am surprised it took him this long. Andreas knows, and I listened to quite a few of his early talks, that Bitcoin and now Etherreum have an Achilles heel: fungibility / privacy. And Andreas is very keen on his (digital) privacy. As a computer nerd you simply can't not like Monero's core features, and there is nothing like it.. |

If BIP148 fails, many of us will be splitting off to a new (Bitcoin-balance-continuation) altcoin with another PoW algorithm. You're welcome to join us, if it comes to that. Y'all ready for this? I don't even know what this means exactly. Anyone knowledgeable care to ELI5? Nobody cares in alt/ico landia, just join for profit. |

Speaking of governments.
Does anyone know of any software tools that currently exist to record things such as land titles and other governance types of remediation over the blockchain? I know that these things are theoretically possible, just wondering if anyone had an open source implementation or an open project.
Digibyte. https://digusign.com/*Disclaimer: I have no position in DGB, nor am I planning to open one. "Powered" by the digibyte blockchain. Right. Can't find at first glance whether it is their own Blockchain or what, a definite no go. I would go for a more battle hardened blockchain, the blockchain actually: https://notary.bitcoin.com/https://proofofexistence.com/ |

[...] The MSM just refuse to ever print anything positive about Bitcoin/crypto unless it's talk about a price rally. Even then, the articles are always full of negatives, and usually end with a negative.
I know, it is painful. More in general when you know a little about a certain subject, you notice the news articles to be often incomplete, one sided or just incorrect. Nothing much you can do but try to keep thinking independently and get your news from at least multiple sources. The good part I guess is that it showes we are still in an early phase if you ask me. Once the MSM is screaming Bitcoin, blockchain, hypecoin is the next hip thing to get involved in, I would get nervous. @Jimbo: Six new ATM's in Toronto. I read that the Instacoin ATMs are anonymous, and some are two-way. Any experience? https://www.instacoinatm.com/bitcoin-toronto-en.html |

[...] All bitcoin has to do is survive... and AVOID a CHAIN SPLIT AT ALL COSTS. $10K/btc is my retirement plan and if we can just not let our egos make a rash decision that causes a chain split... that would be great!
Surviving is all Bitcoin has been doing since 2009. It got very good at it, which only adds to its long term value opposed to the new interesting altcoin of the day. Declaring Bitcoin dead after a HF is just wishful thinking (by some). Bitcoin is not here for our retirement though, and all retirement requires is time and patience anyway (but I am sure we will get there one day). Ransomware = bitcoin's killer app  Don't agree since Bitcoin is far from fungible and likely will never be. This is a job for a coin that specializes in fungibility / financial privacy like Monero. [...] you can't really expect a 900% rise in one year for bitcoin any more.
Disagree. It all depends on the circumstances Bitcoin operates in, don't look at the price of a bitcoin in isolation. |

XMR.TO introduces zero-confirmation, instant conversions. We also added integrated addresses, and increased the maximum amount you can convert in one go to 20BTC. Enjoy! Those are major improvements to an already very usable service. Thanks binaryFate for your hard work and great product. |

The fix is in folks. It looks like a lot of bitcoin users have discovered this great currency called the dollar and are buying it all up. I heard that this dollar thing has a feature where it is made from paper. Bitcoin doesn't have that. Should we upgrade to get more users?
Brilliant, thanks. Why are we here again? |

^ The dreamers, idealists, rebels and crazy ones don't care. And value investors. Monero is so awesome, your duck should wear sun glasses instead. But you simply don't see it, blinded by greed and ignorance.
I feel sorry for you and would advise to just let it go.

You might take a look at the cached page in google. |

[...]what for can a mobile wallet be usefull ? specific examples i need  [...] Pocket money. So you can actually use your moneros on the go instead of needing to be at home. It is like having a quickly accessible photo camera on your mobile phone, instead of a high performance one but always in your desk's drawer. |

[...]Nobody would choose to use traceable money over untraceable money, so why not just add that as a feature to Bytes? So confusing to me this coin.
That entirely depends on the use case. Bitcoin and Monero for example happily coexist, they complement each other. |

There's more going on than is readily observed in public
Best believe there'll be a surprise in the coming weeks from pro-big blockers
[...]
Fees are rising sharply / transactions are stuck, merchants are dropping Bitcoin because of it being unpredictable, Bitcoin is dropping in market share rapidly. Now if I would be a miner, this would concern me. I want my business to keep on running for many years to come. So indeed it would not surprise me either that the majority of the mining power joins forces and makes a decision regarding Bitcoin's throughput. Soon tm. |

Give me at least $5K/btc
Trust me, it will get there. I wager we will see a $5K floor, yes floor, by the end of 2020. Supported by miners and by true long holders. Bitcoin will be seen as the only sensible crypto and the true value play. The price of bitcoin will of course continue to increase into the future, but likely more slowly over time. I guess we shall see. 99.99% people have yet to even buy some. [...] You seem to contradict yourself. If you believe what you are saying, we haven't reached the vertical part of the S-curve yet.
