tripling from here? that's more than a little optimistic. it's got some momentum, i don't believe anything has that much momentum especially over the course of one day.



sure he will.

a percentage like that is not normal and the price has stopped rising. it also coincides with multiple fork dramas and people circling who have a great incentive to usurp the original bitcoin blockchain and now is the ideal moment to attempt it.

it all seems a little too neat not to be the case to me but maybe i'm being paranoid.

that's a very interesting figure.

that's more or less 10% of all current coins and 5% of all that'll ever exist.

i think people regularly forget that there's only 1 million.

i don't have a clue what's gonna happen but it's a system i dig and i'm not getting rid.

that's what's so stupid about the whole thing. i think there are enough people who dislike core, want a usable chain or don't care for another competent development team to take the helm, especially when it has all that business and hashing behind it.

despite all that they've done nearly everything possible to turn people off the idea - no discussion of replay protection just in case, disguising nodes, private mailing lists, weirdly blank responses to logical concerns.

i guess at heart they didn't want to do it if this is how it's panned out. i can't think of any other explanation.

same as mycelium, and mycelium has more crap plastered over it sometimes.

it's cheesy but these people have to eat. there are programmers to pay, servers and nodes to run. i'd prefer it if they charged a one time fee myself and i'd happily pay it.

coinomi works fine for me too.

that would make one single bitcoin worth 100 million dollars. do you really think that's a likely possibility in the next few centuries? that would make one bitcoin more than the gdp of certain countries.

$100,000,000 is a 16,000x rise from here. where i come from that's alot.

the bitcoin algorithm decides. the more miners there are the harder it becomes. bitmain probably has the most mining power so they have the most influence over upping mining difficulty.

the only people who'll be devastated are the morons who got into it.

the market cap is a mirage, 24 hr volume is tiny and i've never heard of the exchanges it's on. it'll screw them. real crypto will be fine.

i think we're gonna see the intentions behind it with the upcoming segwit2x thing. that's the reason why it was created.

it's a hedge, a threat and a lever for the big blockers to try and get what they want.

why waste time listening to the deluded rants of this asshole?

you could demonstrate that segwit cures cancer and he still wouldn't believe it. some people aren't worth talking to because it doesn't matter what you do or say, they're fixated on their position. he's one.

you kill the old chain with a bunch of gradual steps. you don't kill it stone dead instantly.

you make it unattractive to mine and use by making it slow and expensive. it's a snowball effect. once a few people abandon it then more join. before you know it it's having its life support turned off.

no one thinks a move of this magnitude isn't slightly aligned with the upcoming fork?

A huge leap. Is this 'organic' or is it somehow part of the 2x plan to kill off the old chain with a fatally elongated readjustment period?

What do you think?

you're making that sound like a breeze. eth was 10 bucks and less at the start of the year. 10 bucks to 20 doesn't take much momentum or money when you compare it to 300 to 500.

these aren't fictional numbers. they require a bunch of money to be committed. i don't see where that much money will come from for modest gains with outsize risk.

that's a really crappily written article with a bunch of weasel words. if it managed to pull off some actual neutrality it might be worth paying some attention to.

where's the professionalism when it comes to smearing and shilling these days?

can anyone tell me why these current prices are low? at the start of the year most of them were a literal fraction of what they are now and nothing much has changed apart from an ico bubble.

i don't see how a several hundred dollar eth can be considered a great buy.

the only fork that matters is segwit2x. everything else is a sideshow. the more forks there are the less fooled people are gonna be. there's only so many times the same trick can be pulled before everyone goes back to ignoring this stuff.

i think it all depends on the forks. and aren't people happy enough with this year's progress already? there ain't too much of this year left anyway, about 8-9 weeks. where's the extra $4000 gonna come from?

this year has been far, far more impressive than i ever thought was possible. i think $10,000 would be a little greedy.

there are no wallets. there is no chain. because of that no one can claim squat. if it isn't a huge waste of time then i guess they're still in their huge premine phase and then they'll unleash it when they have something to dump.

i'm hoping this is gonna slowly kill off the fork trend.

everything's flat or tanking but byteball has the added bonus of thousands of people who want their free money and have no faith in its future. that's a pretty potent combination for a very ugly chart.

let's see whether it becomes an actual working chain before getting uptight about it. i have serious doubts it'll ever exist.

the exchange that don't support it have told people. it's up to them to get it off those exchanges. if they don't then i don't care what happens to their btg. it was stated clear enough.

bitmex did the same for bch and were upfront about it.
