Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[nullius]

BCHA is currently trading at 0.05 (5%) of BCH and 39 blocks behind as only mined 3 blocks compared to BCHN's 42. Ouch.

I think this will be remember as "The fork that nobody cared about"

No, that was bcash

I think that drawer is getting full.

What a world.

What a world.

There is now a much worse “four-letter word”.

So, after Roger Ver got forked over, he now forked up his own forking fork.

We need a new name for Bcash’s successors.  I have been calling it “Btrash” for years.  (Search my posts—or look at my sent feedback for 2018-03-12.)  Any ideas, now that the forked fork has decided to go fork itself?

We can’t even call any such things “Vercoin”: for “Quid Inverecundius” would be more appropriate.

Forking onomastics are forking hard!  The naming problem goes back to the fourth post in my history here, from the same thread as whereby I learned the virtue of tagging fork shills.

So-called “Bitcoin Cash” is neither Bitcoin, nor cash, in the sense that it has neither the unlinkability nor the fungibility of cash.  It and its ilk are also generically different from honest altcoins, which at least have the decency to make their own names.  I don’t even know what properly to call it—other than a scam, of course; and anybody who does not realize it’s a scam must be one or more of ill-informed, malicious, or incurably stupid.

[...]

I hope that helps.  As for myself, I am still having trouble deciding what I should call Roger Ver’s little abortion.  Perhaps ASICBOOSTCOIN.  Any better ideas?  “We’re-not-engineers-don’t-know-much-about-scaling-and-don’t-care-Coin” is too long.

N.b., that is archaic English; “___’s little abortion” used to be a sort of a stock phrase.  If I understand correctly, it refers to miscarriages, not to induced abortions.  —Split infinitive fixed in the above quote; * nullius slaps himself with a large trout.

... just about the only sure thing in bitcoin price is we will have another pump, and another dump.

Which one is coming first?

The pump or the dump?

I don't find a problem in continuing to call them in variations of bcash.. and to add various derogatory terms on onto the names from time to time, too.   Much better than some of the confusion in which there are attempts to rename the various trashcoins or crap forks and to use bitcoin in the name, which mostly they are derivatives of bcash rather than trying to some how insert bitcoin into their name in an effort to attempt to gain legitimacy (or cause greater confusion).  

You are probably correct with your inference that the various bcashes are forking into greater and greater irrelevance, so might even be preferable to ignore them completely and allow them to fade into the sunset or wherever it is that they are fading into...

...especially since the many bcashening forks are taking less than a couple of percentage of bitcoin's hashing power at best, and much of the time the total hashing power of all of the bcash forks have been devolving to less than 1% of bitcoin's hashing power... so if they are striving with all of their might to gain relevance and to fork into some kind of relevance by trying to gain hashpower - (I am having my doubts that they are going to regain hashing power), they may just be sharing a smaller and smaller kind of attention of hashing power which goes along with a shrinking in the prices of that crapola, too..

Alternatively, even if the various bcashes were to attempt to join forces, which probably such joining of shitcoin forces would be a smarter move if any of them could coordinate well enough to figure out such a force joining strategy.. and then it could be called a unforkening.....   and a proclamation:. ... all dee sheeeeiiiiitcoins unite!!!!!!.. hahahahahaha.. and still if you unite shitcoins, you still are going to end up with shitcoins.. so there is that angle, too... they may have to try to unite forces with bitcoin in order to get rid of the shitcoin stigma.. go figure.. all dee shitcoin unite under bitcoin, as kinds of side chains of shitcoins.. who would have thunk that king daddy was going to stay dee king through all of this turmoil.. and fighting for the crown.,. and they merely dwindle in their powers.

Nothing. I'm away from home for a bit.

You should been locked down... In this period of lockdown situation, in Belgium they say “blijft in uw kot” 🤓
Minister of health said this at early lockdown period, now it’s all over the news every day, can’t hear that damn sentence anymore 🙃

I was about to inquire about that same subject...

For anyone interested in Roger Ver's "miner tax" hard fork fail today, it's currently not going well: https://cash.coin.dance/blocks/hashrate



1.36 EH/s (86%) vs 0.22 EH/s (14%). BCHA is currently trading at 0.05 (5%) of BCH and 39 blocks behind as only mined 3 blocks compared to BCHN's 42. Ouch.

No it's still trading at $14, still room to the bottom

The unforkening already exists.  It has existed all along.  It is called Bitcoin.

There is only one Bitcoin.

Naturally, to unforken, the forkers must untake an unairdrop.  That means acknowledging that their shitcoins are worth zero, and that they are the bagholders for scams.  They may lament the cold, hard fact that there is no way to turn their forked coins back into Bitcoin.


Oh, the memories...  LOL, “‘people’”:

The forum staff must absolutely use more rigorous measures in order to minimize the damage that these "people" try to cause.

If someone is fraudulently passing off Bcash as Bitcoin, the most appropriate response is probably to give that person negative trust.

I fully agree.

At the time, I didn’t even notice that the picnic bear was mentioned on that thread.  jbreher who?  I didn’t recognize his name.  All that I could see was a giant kitty-cat chatting with some guy named theymos about negative trust feedback for fork shills.

Among other things, fork shills generally cause a high risk of losing money:

still room to the bottom

In 2017, a couple of friends asked me how to get into crypto. I told them "not crypto, Bitcoin!" They said it was too expensive, and bought Ripple and Lumen instead. They pumped, my friends ended up with 10x their initial investment. I told them "sell them NOW and buy Bitcoin!" They didn't listen to me.

Yesterday, I was chatting with one of them, and casually mentioned that Bitcoin is pumping and we'll soon reach ATH and beyond. He was not so happy. He changed the subject...

I always find "but I don't have enough money to invest in bitcoin, they're over $xxxx each" to be the most common response when I tell folk to avoid shitcoins. At which point, I consider them to be beyond help and change the conversation to something else.
