After all that fuzz we saw in the past couple of weeks, Bitcoin Classic has just been released as I was just told via their email newsletter. Ready for download! Your views? Will it be the doom of Bitcoin? Will it finally allow it to scale and most importantly, what will happen to the price??? Go!

My only prediction is - another trillion words of screaming and smearing on both sides per day until it reaches a critical mass and the internet commits suicide.

I suspect most people are just like me. Tired of the drama, not giving a damn about classic, little if any impact on the price.

I hereby reserve the right to sometimes be wrong

Release means nothing. Miners lining up to support Classic and a permanent network split that may result from their actions is quite another matter: http://bitcoinocracy.com/arguments/in-the-event-of-a-fork-i-will-sell-rbf-blockstream-core-coins-and-buy-classic-bitcoins

Well, based on what I can see with the price, the average on each exchange has gone up >$10 over today, so that means either people are buying Bitcoin because classic was released and it is not living up to expectations or other reasoning. I wonder how people are going to react to classic.

Ahahah! Yeah it won't do anything. Why would it? The only thing that will affect the price will be the resolution of the size issue.

Well, I don't believe we will see doomsday when 2MB blocks hit or anything like that. It's long overdue and so I switched. It will help Bitcoin to scale and once we need other solutions, I'm open to rethink the situation. Best thing about BTC is that it evolves. I've seen BTC hardfork before and it's not problematic at all.

This is the average joe! Not the people who are bored with the news about core, forks, blocksizes above.... those people are average bitcointalk-regulars! I think the average joe, including many speculators who are technically not very savvy, will think exactly the same, and drop it like it's hot. I'm waiting for that very moment to buy back in as I sold all my BTC for ETH, DASH and XMR @ 397 €. I''l buy back in at half that price.

Then again, it's easy to say when you only own 0.19 BTC or so. If I was you, I wouldn't wait too too long to buy back some of your BTC.

Classic released, Bitcoin UP! There's definitely going to be some rage dumping if the fork actually happens, but after that... double the capacity for an epic rally.

Don't think it will have that much effect on the price. Some people might try it for a few days but they will switch back to Bitcoin Core again as they see the adoption of Classic is severely lacking interest from people.

Because perfect opportunity for major institutional investors, the ones waiting in the wings & keeping the price down to accumulate

However it has been very succesful. Bought ETH @ 0.0038 haha. DASH @ 0.009. It sure wasn't an easy decission. I stand by my analysis. I''m waiting for a fork, blood in the streets, then I will buy back in and double up for a second time.

Don't think too much about that. Halving is coming, and with it a decrease of btc supply. So btc price can't fall down too much. And after that the size issue will be resolved at a moment or another. The only final result is the rise of btc!

Jeff and Gavin are now lead maintainers of Classic. The Toomin's are re-listed as consultants of some kind.

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.
