Tonight might be more of a historic moment then we all realize.
O.k. I will bite. How, newbie (possible troll)?  Since the inception of bitcoin, whenever people asked, "So, how many transactions does bitcoin do per second?". We all had to answer a number that was embarrassingly low, theoretically 7, but more like 3-4 TPS. With segwit enabled, bitcoin is finally - ready for the world -. As much of a cliche that may sound, we went from 7 TPS to potentially unlimited TPS, all safe and sound. This means it's really no 'joke' anymore. That's what I mean by historic, the activating of segwit might be known as THE enabler for bitcoin. Or like some other people like to call it, the netscape navigator moment for bitcoin. On the horizon is rootstock, smart contracts linked to the bitcoin chain. What is ETH going to do? Oh and no newbie, been here since 2013. Forgot my password and recovery didn't work. Yes... I agree that seg wit is going to be an historically important branching point for bitcoin.... and facilitate all kinds of power in the coming years... go developers, go!!! |

I find the number of millionaires quite low to be honest, considering it includes real estate. Plenty of places where real estate is uber expensive.

We dont yet feel the effects of the segwit, the transaction fee lowered a bit unconfirmed transactions decreased and were still at $4100.

I was strolling on a small exchange and some BCH trades popped up at interesting prices (0.17 instead of 0.153 on Kraken), I thought, time to do some arbitraging, then it sunk in me : I can't send BCH there, that coin is broken !

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Well, segwit's here and there's no big price change yet... currently $4245UDS/$5315CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
AltcoinCash is also hanging tough at $648USD/$812CAD (Coinmarketcap).
So far, so good.

On the horizon is rootstock, smart contracts linked to the bitcoin chain. What is ETH going to do?
I am pretty sure rootstock still requires federation to work, even with SegWit. Am I wrong on this? I thought there was some necessary code changes in order for this to work programatically on the current blockchain. |

Had a dream last night that I woke up and saw my bitcoin price ticker up over $400,000 and rising quickly. Saw it touch $500,000 as it came "crashing" back down to the high $300k range. With such high numbers I couldn't even think of how much money that meant I had...just that I was fucking rich. Then I woke up  |
