If bitcoin forks to XT, the price will start declining

[Habeler876]

There's little chance that the eventual forking will have impact on the price, and i believe that (atleast for a certain period of time) it will be negative one.
The main reason for my concern is the timeframe between the time that XT activates, and >1mb block makes chains different, and the time services and exchanges
find a solution to this issue.

there might be a short time of panic by people, but that might only be if certain things don't go right at the first moment. we don't know that, but it is also possible that it doesn't even have a slight impact on the price.

It's not just the panicing traders we should be worried about.  The entire ecosystem will lay in ruins!

[montreal]

it won't take much to shake some

I don't think that the fork with affect the price of bitcoin. The are to many other factors that will affect this but not the fork. the fork will disappear to fast to be remembered and everything will be only story. To be told when it will be another fork.

It's affecting the price even now. We already dropped to $257 from a stable week of $267.

how if price bitcoin strong and comeback to 1000$ ?
This is satosi nakamoto coin and he want to give revolution

[smoothie]

Naturally I can see the price going down or stagnating until the dust settles.

But in the long run I see more strength in bitcoin than ever.

Yeah, once this is successfully resolved in favor of more adoption and scaling, I think there'll be a significant confidence boost.

The real drop will probably happen like per op, when/if the chains actually split, for now they're identical.
Imagine the drama when/if someone sends coin from core to service on xt after the split, and it never confirms..
No doubt it will be fixed, but for a certain period, it will be interesting.. imho sell now, and rebuy @ 220-230 under 3 months from now, easy 15% profit.

The problem of your post is, that you are 100% correct....
We all know, that Bitcoin is going to loose a fair amount of its value during the coming fork. There is no reason to not sell BTC now (at least if you are not a hc hodler..). I belive in bitcoin but still, now is the time to sell...

[lottery248]

probably if less people to use the full node wallets.
once 51% attacks happened, bitcoin would be declined and so the cryptographical currencies.

WTF is this?

Did the real Satoshi just speak? It didn't sound like Satoshi Nakamoto. Rather an imposter if you asked me.

I believe in bitcoin as well, and the price will rebound for sure. I'm just saying that there's money to be made from this transition

No, it's not him. There are several topics about this. The mail used was in fact used by satoshi before, but was proven to be compromised later on.
With no PGP, there's zero reason to trust that statement to have come from satoshi, although the conposition of the post sure is nice.

cheers

Could you please post a link which shows the evidence of the mail being compromised?

Regarding the PGP signature:
-He has never signed anything
-His argument within the mail is against populism tactics and appeal to authority. So if it was the real Satoshi, then it would be really silly to prove is identity in this context.

[Hyena]

If Bitcoin was a PoS/PoW hybrid this would never be an issue. Right now the problem is that stakeholders and miners are not the same people but THEY SHOULD BE. It almost seems as a conspiracy that Satoshi didn't implement PoS in the first place. Is Bitcoin doomed by design? I think Bitcoin should introduce Proof of Stake mining and solve the protocol change debate problems once and for all by having stakeholder voting on its very block chain itself.

Can't wait for the split so that I can cash out my xt monopoly money. So does everybody else. Like it or not, xt is dead before being born

[brokenchair]

Not worth holding btc at all right now, to much risk with this xt nonsense......

This is essentially what just happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJdKDqGOhv0
