If BIP148 fails, many of us will be splitting off to a new (Bitcoin-balance-continuation) altcoin with another PoW algorithm. You're welcome to join us, if it comes to that. Y'all ready for this? Never interrupt your enemy when he is in the process of making a mistake.

I've been out of the game for a while.... questions:
What are the chances of a split chain on this upcoming Aug 1st drama?
Are most of you holding your coins?
If there is a split chain that survives.... will Coinbase give you access to both chains?
Thanks

- <15%
- I am.
- Judging by the way they handled the ETH fork - probably. Better just to store it yourself.

Alphabay, a huge anonymous market which supposedly pulled an exit scam on its users. Could possibly be a reason why Bitcoin's price is going down right now. Chaos is ensuing right now as other anonymous markets are shut down as well or closed their doors to new registrants as people flood to find alternatives.
Smh, how many times does the same scam have to repeat before people realise that this isn't a good way to organise their transactions? What i lack in intelligence, i have in muscle, be carefull "BlindMayorBitcorn"  Is that because you work in a butchers?

I wonder, is everybody else this optimistic?

lulz  . I guess the author is reading this forum? maybe this topic? Maybe it was r0ach holding the sign. That would explain why he is so silent today  CNBC made a connection with immediate bitcoin price rise after this, which is silly Bitcoin subsequently climbed toward session highs and traded 3.7 percent higher, at $2,418.46, as of 2:27 p.m. ET, according to CoinDesk.
The unidentified bitcoin proponent, whose stunt was visible on television, was removed from the hearing room. Holding up the sign violates the House committee's rules. Committee staffers told CNBC they didn't know who the man's name. was removed..

"Jihan Wu, Bitmain CEO, already opined that he will hard fork regardless of whether UASF succeeds or fails. It is not guaranteed that a hard fork could happen without issues, but this is the best time from their perspective to attempt one. Should it succeed, Bitcoin will quickly erase all prior losses and surpass $3,000. " So the market will be delighted that a handful of Chinese miners are in full control of Bitcoin? That's a really fucking stupid supposition.

The market has proven with ETH it doesn't give a toss about any of the things that make crypto great. It's sort of puzzling. But it makes sense that the coin pickers should prefer a more predictable community.

What if it is the intention to have a Chinese Bitcoin? Remember, the astronomic premiums Chinese and Koreans paid to get BTC when it was already ATH?

There was a post by Ralph C. Merkle. While there are many technical descriptions of Bitcoin and the excitement it has created, it is perhaps worthwhile to try and capture this excitement in a way that can be understood by those without a technical background.
Briefly, and non-technically, Bitcoin is the first example of a new form of life. It lives and breathes on the internet. It lives because it can pay people to keep it alive. It lives because it performs a useful service that people will pay it to perform. It lives because anyone, anywhere, can run a copy of its code. It lives because all the running copies are constantly talking to each other. It lives because if any one copy is corrupted it is discarded, quickly and without any fuss or muss. It lives because it is radically transparent: anyone can see its code and see exactly what it does.
It can’t be changed. It can’t be argued with. It can’t be tampered with. It can’t be corrupted. It can’t be stopped.
It can’t even be interrupted.
If nuclear war destroyed half of our planet, it would continue to live, uncorrupted. It would continue to offer its services. It would continue to pay people to keep it alive.
The only way to shut it down is to kill every server that hosts it. Which is hard, because a lot of servers host it, in a lot of countries, and a lot of people want to use it.
Realistically, the only wayto kill it is to make the service it offers so useless and obsolete that no one wants to use it. So obsolete that no one wants to pay for it. No one wants to host it. Then it will have no money to pay anyone. Then it will starve to death.
But as long as there are people who want to use it, it’s very hard to kill, or corrupt, or stop, or interrupt. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciated this.

I notice everyone else in the picture has grey hair except for the guy with the Bitcoin sign. That alone makes him look totally out of place. It was nice to see the rise in price immediately after his stunt.
