I can't complain too much about Stellar. I'm still holding my air-dropped Stellar from last year. More free money is more free money.

Roach has some valid points
It takes energy to extract gold and silver, from burning fossil fuels. Peak oil also = peak gold and silver you can't magic it out the ground without expending the work. 'Proof or work' in bitcoin was based on that principle. There is no magic surplus going to arrive from outer space.
Also as per recent comments a few pages back. Lightning Network, I have also concluded is a banking layer plonked on top of bitcoin.
Ignoring this is akin to putting your head in the sand like an ostrich. But yeah, ignore the troll. Ignore me too. I'm used to hostility on this thread
No one will be forced to use the lightning network. LN will reduced blockchain bloat and lower fees, even for the people who will never use it. |

My concern is not that bcash will overtake bitcoin. It's that these attacks on bitcoin will undermine confidence in all cryptocurrency.

I have done all this to date as a volunteer because I love bitcoin and hope to see it change the world for the better.
Do you honestly think that the motives of Jihan Wu and Roger Ver are to change the world for the better? Really? Have you followed their actions and their modus operandi? And you have decided to side with them and support Bcash? If that is true, then I'm afraid you are self-disrespecting your own achievements. It's sad, really... I communicate directly with both of them, have met both in person and had lengthy discussions with each. I believe they love Bitcoin for the same three reasons I do: 1. The technology behind bitcoin is interesting and novel; Satoshi solved a long-standing problem in computer science. 2. The adoption of Bitcoin would change the world for the better, by giving us a better form of money. 3. The potential to earn of a huge amount of money. The fact that you didn't mention decentralization with a single word just shows that you're not to be trusted by anybody who came into Bitcoin for the reasons Satoshi has created it for. Thanks for making it even more apparent that BCash can not be trusted. Decentralization is a means to an end. That end is simply better money. You're arguing in favor of bitcoin being better money than bcash. I'll agree with that. |

Any vets out there caring to calm my nerves with some words of wisdom?
Calm the fuck down. Bitcoin has weathered much worse storms than this. |

Masterluc recently posted. https://vk.com/bitcoin_vangaRough Translation: I warn again. All alts - the bottom. This is an axiom. Any kamenty with tricky alt spam, and especially bikesh and kefir (ICO) - lead to a ruthless ban in the community.
Here the genocide of the Ver and Vitalik tribes takes place. We humiliate their human dignity. Here they are allowed to cocksuck. The Ver clan has a business news network behind it. Hard competition that. No. Not compared to the bitcoin network. Zing! |

Finally putting my hardware wallets to use. Was gonna split my cold stash between an offline laptop and trezor and ledger, but I figure, these things are specifically designed to keep coins safe so might as well just stick with them for now. Less work and probably safer anyway.
And then off to finally dump my clone coins. Getting enough fiat out of it to chill for five years or so while waiting for bitcoin to hit six digits.
XMR2BTC===> is just like the original satoshi whitepaper :-D weeeee #xmrtodamoon https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_xmr========================== cheers ~ satoshi I like XMR too, but outright shilling it is not appropriate in this thread. |

I've long been a proponent of the 2MB increase. Earlier this year, it seemed akin to giving in to terrorist demands, but sometimes you have to cede a battle to win the war.

The broader crypto market looks similar to how it did in May, just with bigger numbers. Bitcoin is languishing as altcoins surge. Rumours of a "flippening" are starting to go around again.
Monero looks stronger this time though.

The crowd wins again. The $18,000-$20,000 price range was the #1 most picked choice in the poll.
Now being reset.

I find it quite amusing that the debate has degenerated to deliberately calling one variant of bitcon versus the other by the wrong name.
think i'll try it.
BCASH BCASH BCASH
hehehehe yes its amusing
Saying that there are variants of bitcoin plays into the bcash team's hands. There is one bitcoin. |

This is something that bears watching, IMO:
http ://redditmetrics.com/r/Monero
Out of 1.2 million /r/, Monero is:
No. 104 Fastest growing yesterday
No. 117 Fastest growing last 7 days
No. 201 Fastest growing last 30 days
No. 427 Fastest growing last 90 days
Over 1000 new subscribers per day, and accelerating. Sure, all of crypto is expanding, but to me this indicates that Monero is receiving its share of attention, and more. Ranked near top 0.1% (for # subscribers on that site) and exploding upward. This is visibility, adoption, exposure, whatever you want to call it. Here it comes.
Cool stats, they match my sense of what is happening. I see a dip against BTC and then (unlike in the past) there are immediately bargain hunters, hoovering up any signs of cheap Monero. You have to realise you just can't buy cheap Monero any more, unless you're very quick off the mark. I am having to adjust my trading stance accordingly... EDIT: BTW, Explorer - I guess you have also spotted how the odd mention of Monero in the WO thread is allowed to pass through the velvet rope. Far more of the smarter people are keeping Monero quietly in their portfolio, it seems It doesn't hurt that the WO moderator moonlights here.  |

Very sad development.
Former Verizon lawyer and current FCC chairman Ajit Pai openly mocking Net Neutrality proponents concerns. https://youtu.be/79nQqqbrXxgDude has the most punchable face I have seen in a long time. Yes he does. It's not over yet though, it will likely head to court. Also for the record, there are plenty of Americans on all sides (conservatives, liberals, and libertarians) that are really pissed about repeal of net neutrality. It's a slippery slope that will only lead to unfair practices. I'm a Trump-voting, libertarian-leaning conservative, and I'm fucking pissed. There's a good debate here though: http://www.wnyc.org/story/net-neutrality-repeal-done-deal-open-question/ |

No. I want to alert about the weaknesses of Bitcoin Segwit.
You object to the name BCash, Frankly, this entire hoohah over naming just makes me chuckle inwardly. You can call Bitcoin Cash Bcash if you want. Doesn't really bother me. Though it makes you look ignorant, as 'Bcash' is a different coin altogether. and yet you refer to Bitcoin as "Bitcoin Segwit"
I call Bitcoin Segwit Bitcoin Segwit, as it is a clearly descriptive, non-ambiguous term. I used to call it Bitcoin Segwit1x. However, with the demise of S2X, this disambiguation no longer adds any value. Bitcoin's actual name, "Bitcoin", is just as clearly descriptive, and just as unambiguous. |

1. Bitcoin
2. Litecoin (only because of Atomic-Swaps)
3. .....
4. .....
5. .....
Rest is a huge pile of dogshit.
Lightning network will make litecoin obsolete. Rootstock will make ETH obsolete. The only altcoin with good long term prospects is Monero. It has the two important aspects that bitcoin cannot and/or will not ever have: anonymity and fungibility. Mimblewimble/tumblebit will make Monero unnecessary Mimblewimble will be launching as an altcoin now, and not a BTC sidechain as originally planned. Tumblebit is 100% centralized, and requires absolute trust in the tumblebit server operators |
