To me BTC looks like a falling knife. But maybe it is just me.
When the block size prolbem is resolved, the price of bitcoin will resume the up trend. But we have to wait until May probably.
But the block size problem to be solved with hard fork to 2MB will only happen in the middle of next year. Long wait.
the only problem with the block size is antpool is throwing out so many empty blocks.
http://bitblk.com/bitcoin/pool/AntPool/its seriously kind of like saying the freeway is too slow, lets double the speed limit. yet all the cars in the fast lane are only going 35 MPH.
After the block halving, It will be less profitable to just get the 12.5 block rewards, it has to include many transactions.
right, except antpool doesnt pay miners the tx fees. they keep them.. so your point is not valid.
actually the top 3 pools as of now doesnt pay the tx fees..
