The HK CRTA said specifically that we were supposed to get SegWit this month. Where the hell is it? What will happen to the price if it is delayed?
Blocks are full. We need relief now! The TA is suggesting that we could have a huge rally if the network was able to handle the extra traffic.
Now we see your true motivation ... Short term profits instead of concerns for the security or testing within segwit.
...
Segwit will likely be deployed later this month or early may. You have to understand that Core developers care more about testing and security than your short term price rallies.
Oh spare me the sanctimony. Core devs had YEARS to come up with a scaling solution and it took an implicit threat from miners to get them to do the bare minimum and even now, they are not going to have it ready when they agreed to have it ready. This isn't being cautious. This is obstructionism.
You can't credibly claim that they are doing everything possible to get it up and running in a timely manner consistent with security and quality goals and still claim they don't need to rush. Core is either incompetent and cannot do what users require or they are dishonest and dragging their heels. Either way, they are not meeting the network's needs.
I do not accept that it is simply impossible for Bitcoin to scale safe and securely. It may be impossible with current governance, but all that means it we need to change governance. This kind of shit didn't happen when Gavin was in charge.
It's not about short term profits. It's about having confidence that the network's needs will be met. It's not reassuring when the people responsible for meeting those needs don't even have the will to do it to say nothing of the ability.
I'm quoting this for how ridiculous it is...
hahahahaha
BJA talking your book, and suggesting that you don't care if the price goes down or up because you sold a large quantity of BTC at $370 about 2 months ago, yet the price has been having a lot of upwards pressures since then, and a lot of failed attempts to break below $400 in the past month.
Everything you say in your above post seems to be XT / classic talking points in which people are beginning to realize that they are baseless and wishful thinking rather than any meaningful reflection of the robustness of bitcoin, both in terms of its technicals and in terms of its governance.
In fact, the peer to peer aspect of bitcoin surely causes some inefficiencies in bitcoin's governance, and that is a feature and not a bug... and really the difficulties to change the status quo of bitcoin and its blocksize limits (which is not a problem like you and your xt/classic supporting buddies would like us to believe) is a sign of decentralization rather than the propaganda scare mongerings attempts to suggest that bitcoin is flawed in some kind of meaningful way.
Certainly, we do not know when BTC prices are going to break back into the $430s, yet likely I would not be surprised see prices continuing to bounce around between $400 and $450 for a month or two. On the other hand, I would be a bit surprised (and wouldn't be the first time) if we were to witness prices go back below $380 for any significant time (gonna need some seriously convincing FUCD spreading for that to occur (maybe when seg wit goes live there may be something to grasp onto regarding some kind segwit flaw?).. good luck with those continued and unconvincing attempts at spreading FUCD......................................NOT).
