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

[Fatman3001]

Why are we still discussing Classic like it's not a failed project already?

Didn't you get the news?

i didnt get the news. where to find it?

Here: https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-core-dev/2016-01-20/?msg=58304091&page=2

thx

agree, that's it with classic.

I would take anything brg444 says with a pinch of salt as he completely lacks objectivity.

without bitfury and f2p, classic has no chance to reach even 50%.

Where does it say Bitfury supports this?

Bitfury said already yesterday that they wont support Classic.

Huh?

@Chunky Is the war is over??

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that JJG has taken it upon himself to do QC on WO-thread posters?

Probably its only you, but you can do a bit of additional shit-stirring and feeble additional white knighting (like this current "ironic" post), if you continue to be supposedly preoccupied about the contents of my posts?


What a goofy appeal.

And I read it then, I just don't see how this is a retraction of the support for Bitcoin Classic they gave the same day.

No, me neither. But something seems to have changed after the Beijing symposium. IDK.

Bah.

Hey! Isn't there already a ChinaCoin?!

The People’s Bank of China (PBoC), the country's central bank, is moving toward the launch of its own digital currency.

The PBoC said in a 20th January release that it had held a meeting discussing the possibility in Beijing.

You're attacking people for no good reason. You're kind of like NLC, but without the edge.

And you make my head spin.

true, he doesnt mention classic. i read it as an endorsement to core but i obv could be wrong.

You don't seem to understand. Bigblockers will win if we crash the price far enough to persuade the miners to switch. If we fail in that, it's because the price is going up and they have no reason to listen to us. (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). So it's simple. Just keep pumping until we go away. That's how you'll get us to capitulate.

Did you miss the bit when it's been tried & failed a number of times now?

Yeah, well we'll see what happens when xaction fees triple and then triple again. 

[JayJuanGee]

Blocks are full. Let's see what happens.

It's the FULLBLOCALYPSE_TM

I think I'm done arguing. It just has to play out now.

(I was actually going to use that word but couldn't remember it exactly.)

big blocker capitulation is close ... they have no logical ground to stand on and the whole edifice is crumbling, Crassic was just the Hearn echo swansong

This is stupid thinking, and probably similar to Mike Hearn's raging tantrum.  Let's just try to destroy things until others listen and we get our way...  

Makes a lot of sense.





NOT.


Only makes sense if you are childish and unable to attempt to work with others by appeals to reason and fairplay.



On the other hand, why don't you get all your supposed  coins out of cold storage and lead the way to dumping them all?  Except you likely only have less than a couple hundred coins, so won't have too much of an effect anyhow.

We can all hop on PBoCCoin?

You are right, They are playing politics and courting both sides but the article is clearly against almost every classic talking point.

[elite3000]

price will rise before it rises higher.


can't you see it happening?

420 is just the beginning

What do you think we have now? Nothing happens with the 70% of hashpower that's in China that the PBoC doesn't let happen.  They could take over our whole network with a few phone calls. These giant mines exist and operate only because the Communist Party backed by the People's Army lets them.

Hell, my trading account is in Hong Kong and is also under the ChiCom's thumb. This isn't what we had in mind when we bought into a distributed trustless payment system.

[2015Bubble]

Would be funny doe when the next bubble starts one day after Mike hearn leaving bitcoin for dead 

[noobtrader]

price will rise before it rises higher.

420 is just the beginning

so whats the target price for February ? 500 600

[readysalted89]

Hey! Isn't there already a ChinaCoin?!

There was a Hong Kong coin, but it was a total scam. It was mean't to be fairly distributed to all citizens of Hong Kong, but the devs claimed most of the coins themselves through some trick. PBoCcoin wil have no problems like that, its whole premine will go to the Chinese government with no scraps left over for anyone else.

I don't think so.  You are probably reading too much into whatever I happen to be doing....

It's like pointing at a politician and saying that they are all corrupt, merely because you see evidence of corrupt politicians from a variety of political persuasions... or even similar corrupt behaviors amongst politicians.. and thereafter lumping them all together as corrupt and failing to recognize differences.

Sometimes, there may be a strong level of discourse that I employ with my attempts at engagement with other posters, but in almost all instances (at least from my perspective) there is a reason for my apparent "mad attacks", and if I happen to be wrong with my attempted level of engagement, then that wrongness should come out and should be clarified in the follow up response(s), if there are any....  


In that regard, I am a human and not a bot, and I expect that sometimes I may get some things wrong.

In any event, each of us has our posting styles, and comparing me to Lambie seems to be a bit imprecise and an unwarranted stretch of reality... yes both lambie and I made posts in this thread, but s/he it is gone, and I am still here.... and beyond the fact that we both made posts in this thread your comparison seems fairly general and unwarranted.

I guess this is big news. Crypto is legit in China. (Sort of. Not really, but) BUY!

 



@BjA If the PBoC gets out of line we can send LukeJr. in to change the algo on 'em. SHa69. Pit paff piffy. Inniit?
