i've spent the last hour reading. i still don't get it and i still don't get why i should be paying any attention to anything he thinks or does beyond 2012. sorry folks.

at least bitcoin gold, not that it seems possible to actually discover any facts about it, is trying to pivot away from the cancer of centralized mining. however there hundreds of other alts already doing the same thing.

i will believe it when i see it. if bitcoin's current rise is down to this then it's a sad reflection on the dumbness and greed of this market. pumping to get a coin that may not exist is kinda low.

interesting. i never knew it had that function and there must be way cheaper options for anyone who does need that only.

i remember the ledger guy stating on reddit that they expected to ship one million units by the end of this year. i have no idea whether that's marketing boasts or not, but the super long delays that have popped up tell us a few things.

there's lots of impressive words and even more impressive supposition. who is anyone to know who 'whales' are and what their intentions are? and what's with the ongoing fear and deification of this popescu guy? as far as i can tell he's an unpleasant writer who owns a few thousand coins.

things have moved on. the people who might have had majority influence once upon a time are now sidelined and yesterday's men.

where'd they get it? bittrex volume is 17 btc. hot damn, that's dire volume but so is everything else right now.

i'm pretty sure they'll have to hard fork it to remove it. so they'll do it when we're ready for bitcoin cash classic to thrive alongside bitcoin cash. it's gonna be cool.

it could be argued that the jury is still out on segwit. at this moment in time it basically hasn't delivered anything other than some slightly larger blocks.

i think the jury's in on bitcoin cash though. yeah....

why is it on there?

there's no reason to leave crypto on there. there is a reason to leave dollars because it takes days to move.

unless you're a psycho trader supreme you can wait 10-30 minutes to get your safe crypto into a dangerous exchange. get it off there now.

i've never heard of it. what does it exchange and how did you lose it?

if i remember what i've read elsewhere they're only accepting bch for one particular batch of miners. it's business as usual for everything else. i guess it's an experiment on their part.

why is it worrying? it cost you nothing. if it goes to nothing then life is gonna continue. i don't think it'll be permitted to go nothing. there's a few extremely deep pockets with a vested interest in keeping it alive.

i don't think usdt's lack of real money is what'll ruin everything. it's the legal hack that holds it all together.

as soon as any state takes a closer look and can be bothered to figure out it's a giant banking diligence avoidance scheme then all of the exchanges that carry it will be forced to give it up.

Bitconnect is a ponzi. Bch is a zombie. Neither of them are sexy prospects.

Something like this should work.

Nope. I don't think it's in the death spiral some people are declaring but it's not going to reach the same heights again.

There's massive supply being released by various exchanges and right now its survival depends on the benevolence of its main mystery miner.

Charlie lee has calculated the miner has given up 14 million dollars of bitcoin profit to mine bch.

That don't signal good health to me.

Clam is pretty much the only alt actually being substantially used.

The fact that it's used by one place, albeit a significant one, is dangerous.

It's not a coin i pay much attention to but it shouldn't be dismissed.

Alts are even more subject to whale whims than bitcoin.

Wait around long enough and the good stuff will rise again.

In the meantime the shitcoins, and there are tons of them, will get what's coming to them.

uh, you do realise that each coin has a different overall supply?

that often proves to be kind of important when taking all of their prices into consideration.

i have no idea what's gonna happen so your predictions are just as good as anyone else's, but retail is irrelevant. all the places that want it to be persona non grata have already done so. on the flip side it's now as legit as the emperor's check in japan.

drug users and money launderers would have to be extremely stupid to use bitcoin these days. it's terrible for both purposes because everything is traceable.

the only thing that really matters is more people wanting to buy it than wanting to sell it. how long that remains is yet to be seen, but as more people learn what it's all about the people who already have it don't want to sell it and the people who want to get in will pay more.

was anyone else expecting the movements to reduce in magnitude as the price got higher? i know things are going slower in general, but it can still add or lose 10-20% in a day which is surprising to me.

and yep. the amount of sellers must be dwindling every time.
