I'm all for a block size increase to 2mb. I just think that 8mb, as proposed by BCash, is too much, and will create more problems in the future, such as centralized nodes.
Lightning network is just one of many sidechains, and one which will atract institutional investors. I hope that in the future we will have lots of different sidechains, each for a function: one to buy a coffee, one for settlement between banks, one to buy cars, one to buy real estate, and each will have its own limits, and its own fees.

I try to avoid using the "ignore" button as many trolls and much FUD can be amusing. I've only used it for really obnoxious, insulting trolls like Notlambchop and Matthecat. I've come close with r0ach but he's such a laughable buffoon I've let him go despite his bigotry and the sheer number of his posts. I never use it. I like to read r0ach and kwukduck posts. They are very amusing.

Some people were saying futures markets would "legitimize" bitcoin.
Thats your "legitimizing" right there. They want it to be like gold and silver, completely useless.
Also, creating artificial "bubbles" through pumping from funds is a quick way to implement "regulations" (read censorship) in crypto-currencies.

If you think liquidity is an issue now. Just wait until the big boys start to realize they need to balance their holdings with actual BTC so that they can play in the market. All other alts will benefit.
The big boys just want to short it to the ground, to keep their status quo. They will pump it, of course, but the dumps will be even worse. Get used to it, this will be normal now. Do you think they want a rich Earth, where the work is done by robots and everybody lives in comfort? Thats a programmer pipe dream.

Both the miners and the devs are guilty of such fall, Jim.
The miners for sabotaging the network, switching all their hash power to BCash.
And the devs for delaying the lightning network, and not implementing SegWit as a default measure.
More frightening than Roger Ver shilling was a Core dev opening a champagne to celebrate the highest fees ever, fees higher than a international wire transfer.
And in the shadows, hedge funds, which have been pumping the price since October, short their positions to win bets in CME. Who knows who is buying now and what they will do in the next futures round.
But bubble, this never was, Jim. It is just a slow corporate takeover, on both sides.

Ripple rising so fast. That's so obvious, isnt it? Right after CME starts, and with miner support. The miners and bcashers were used, of course, as BCash is also falling. Unconfirmed transactions keep piling up: https://blockchain.info/en/unconfirmed-transactions and I dont think its all spam this time. Its people trying to get out. I think it can go until 8k, but I might be wrong. Maybe this sparks a bear market, who knows.
