"Miners can MASF, or users will UASF. either way, Segwit activated early August"

[The One]

Okay, well I’m very glad to hear that. We really need for these scaling wars to end, so the potential for SegWit to be activated is really nice. Perhaps soon we can say goodbye to 2$ 5 hour transaction fees

Txs fees are not coming down with seggy.

Only real bigger blocks and changes to fees calculation can bring down the fees.

I hope Bitcoin will react similar to Litecoin and the price will double after Segwit. I looked at the charts and people are starting to throw everything back into Bitcoin and it all started this week. I thought it was because the Chinese ban was lifted but it could be this news.

China means 0. The age of fairy tales from China and their fake volume fake prices fake exchanges are gone.

Litecoin has not doubled in price alone.
Litecoin just rides the waves of bitcoin.

And more bad news for "silver" , ltc is going down right now while btc is already 7% up in the day.

Care to tell us why?
Do you have any statistics to back this up?

And how do you plan to calculate fees? Please no socialism %

It's common economic sense. Fees should be like it was before with a minimum fee for all txs as spam prevention.

Luke-Jr: "Miners can do BIP148 MASF, or users will do BIP148 UASF. either way, Segwit will be activated beginning August at the latest, and we will have a scaling solution."

  Bullish to say the least.

One way or another (I'm gonna find ya) .... reminds



... moving a bit forward ...

BIP 148 works by making your Bitcoin client ignore any block that doesn't signal for SegWit between midnight August 1st 2017 and midnight November 15th 2017 (UTC). This will enable the natural activation of SegWit, as specified by the BIP 9 protocol

Why exactly that time frame

Bitcoin is going up because people are taking action and finally we see some relevant devs supporting UASF.

Let's hope we all can be enjoying segwit this summer. If miners want to crash the price, they will continue opposing. If they are reasonable, we will see $5000 this year.

That is a positive prediction and it will most likely to happen by the end of this year. Some bitcoin holders was saying that the main reason that bitcoin was rapidly increasing in value was because of the segwit activation this coming August. The UASF or the emergency plan to activate segwit is what we need at this point of time so we wont suffer from very slow confirmation.
