Weren't we suppose to get some kind of an announcement from Finex by Monday? oh and on a separate note they're about to cross 1750

True, but BTC-e's order book is so thin it wouldn't take much to move it. They only have like BTC500 till $1800
But if i had some shitcoins i wanted trade for BTC i'd probably go with the best rate too

Drop in BTC dominance, should wake up the miners and cause them to loose a lot of sleep, but seeing how short sighted they are with their BU push they're probably celebrating the recent rise and will continue with their power grab.

Agreed. It's naive to think that largest exchange stop processing withdrawals in USD doesn't have any effect on the market.They retired their BFX token, introduced a ton of liquidity in people's account and then made BTC the only way to get out. Otherwise why would there be a $100 spread? Shitcoin rise is dumb people "traders" calling tops and thinking of alt coins as diversification just parking money there instead of USD waiting for a "correction" to jump back in BTC.


Or those are my 2c

Edit: But the good thing is, the gap between Finex is starting to close before announcement. Maybe someone front-running an announcement 

For all that matters miners can include BTC20k BTC and it still won't make a difference. We all get it miners stand to win big on bigger blocks don't have to shove it in our faces

I like this one more over the previous version

Full retard mode engaged? It'd be so much better if not for damn finex

Wish this would happen with finex trading for real dollars

In this episode Jihan Ver installs a secret kill switch "feature" in majority of bitcoin mining hardware, and spins it alike a feature on your smart phone that enables you to remotely wipe your data. You know so when someone steals your antminer they won't have access to your nudes and private data that you were storing on it   non of this makes any sense to a person with IQ higher than a rock, but will users buy it? Stay tuned to find out after these commercials...

Gee do i have to spell it out? https://blog.bitmain.com/en/antminer-firmware-update-april-2017/

In BTC^ina miners we trust!!!

We designed a feature, that would allow us (or cloudflare or our nameserver registrar or anyone hacking them or any court/law enforcement with jurisdiction over any one of them) to effectively shut down BTC (bring it to a halt) with one line of code. And then unintentionally merged it into production code, siwwy us, its only a bug and the decentralized crypto currency community should not be upset.  when is the damn movie coming out?

Nope no hope, community is retarded, but even retards have enough math skilz to realize that on chain solutions won't work. i.e. you can have 200MB blocks and not even cover the transaction volume that Visa handles, and still have to wait 10min to get to a next block but at least you finally got rid of that decentralization thing 

mathz are hard

well, didnt see this coming

lol wtf is Waves?

This is not over, not until miners back off. Only one way to get miners to stand down, and this is it. Let's see how long they'll be able to keep their trolls going before public perception will turn against them, sheeple need to realize that investors don't want anything to do with their BTC^INA coin.

No one really thought that selling BTU to miners is the easy part? BTC^ina in miner conglomerate we trust™

Core's logic is security (decentralization falls under that) is above all. And people could stand behind that idea, you start f'ing with that and watch people vote with their feet, it really is that simple. The first stage will be the blame game, bring in the blood on the streets, decline in hash rate, lets see them start shutting down their plants, that's the only way for them to realize that they can't force investors as easily as trolling reditors!

BU Logic

Step1: Conglomerate of miners corner the hash rate and fork to allow themselves to decide the size of the block.
Step2:
Step3: People invest int BTC^INA COIN  Secured by code your friendly conglomerate of Chinese miners  PROFIT $$$

Sure Wall St, Come over here, invest billions and approve your ETFs. You can trust us™

Is BU crowed seriously so we-tar-ded that no one considered that convincing the 50% + 1 of miners of something that is directly related to their short term profits might be the easy part?

Miners need to be forced to realize that they might be left with their tokens to themselves. There will be blood, Loaded, once again, i applaud you!  

tl;dr Power grab, and miners are hoping for short term losses over long term control.

People invested substantial amount of money in BTC, well, because it's a honey badger, and these people consider that centralization to be the Achilles heel of BTC. Right now the blocksize limit is governed by the hardlimit in the code. Now miners (where majority of them are in China) want to remove that hardcoded limit and instead saying that they should be the ones to set it as they please (and it so happens that miners profits are directly related to the block size as well as large mining farms also stand to get an advantage in mining, the bigger the blocks get. Where core gains no direct benefit from 1mb block). Now anyone with any basic coding experience can see that this would introduce a huge attach vector, but the miners are the ones that control the hashrate and are starting to get some traction. But what not many people are talking about, and admittedly is very hard to gauge (and what i believe miners are underestimating) is investors perception. Many people are willing to invest millions of $$ because of the code, but once the code is replaced with "you can trust us, because we wouldn't do anything bad" people are not so willing to invest in ChinaCoin.

Is BTC dead???
