imho btc is rising atm to be able to crash even further. Call me a bear, fine, but this isn't how bottoms are formed.

Yeah, you can twist it anyway you want. Semantics of mining node vs a regular node. Most miners are in China yet most non-mining nodes are in the US (United States--1814 =27.87%). The point is that the mining nodes will determine whether the code gets forked, not the regular nodes.

LAUDA, whew ok, that's looks better Thx for the link and your input on this What you were looking at is : In the last 24 hours (144 blocks), Unlimited + Classic hashrate is ~1366 PH/s (37.5%) of the total Bitcoin network (3642 PH/s).
If you compare this to the nodes + the desires of the economic majority, you can see how something is obviously wrong. Miners should be working towards the interest of the users and the economy, but in this case they aren't. The reason for that is is because a *certain* mr. Jihan is controlling pretty much all of the BU hashrate (he just diversified it under other pools that suddenly popped up with hundreds of petahashes). ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) This is a better and simpler way to view the current total (signalling): https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/pools?resolution=24h and you can see individual pools signalling here (when they mine blocks): https://www.blocktrail.com/BTCPeople are panicking that we are dropping down to $1000. I love it. This was a far off dream not that long ago.
Half a year ago, $1000 was a dream. Now, people are panicking because we are back to $1000? How times quickly change. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Bitcoin dies @ 1000 Goodbye bitcoin ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) gobble gobble

But I have no idea. Only a guess! If only more posters would say when they aren't sure.

$800 soon... Then $200 ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Just my opinion ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It's only going to stay in the $950-$1100 range until the Chinese stuff chills down. People will still find a way to get Bitcoin without identification. Why would they need to be identified? If a million people are going to buy BTC they're going to enter a database.. and what can they do after that? Lol, this is the process of de-anonymization created by them. - Xi Jinping said he wants to be the New World Order's boss
- China investigated BTC months ago over 2 times
- China now imposes a new rule making the exchanges ask people to identify themselves
As the New World Order "conspiracy theory" says, they do NOT like anonymity. They want everything under control to manipulate us and to give us orders, not the opposite. If everyone used Bitcoin it'd be way better in this world. As a coincidence, all this "New World Order" invented stuff is just becoming more and more real.. Just don't identify yourself. If you can't go to exchanges to buy BTC without identification, find someone in your area that wants to sell their Bitcoin and trade with him. We probably won't see a $200 price anymore. That would mean a BIG scare for traders and investors, and the possible fail of Bitcoin. It's just going to keep rising.

Not many altruistic miners out there only concerned with supporting the network.

Sorry to ask but where to read more about BU and Segwit? there is not much info here... and even a big nothing in the mining section.
It is very difficult to find anyone that will discuss BU or Segwit. I wish there was more discussion about it but nobody has an opinion for one or the other. Isn't that the truth. I think most of the people bitching about it really don't fully understand either of the options. (me included lol) Both hope to solve the same issue however. Just BU at some point could trigger the hard fork. Segwit would only be a soft fork. Just the sounds of a hard fork spooks people as it probably should lol BU is a stupid solution anyway. If BTC ever wants to scale on something that would compete with Visa and Paypal, we'd need to increase the blocksize to 1GB+. Problem is, such a large block would take so long to verify, there would end up being a lot of empty block mined, and the large 1GB+ blocks would end up getting orphaned, anyway. IF BTC wants to even come close to scaling like the big boys, an off chain solution like LN is our only hope. if I get it BU is unlimited... thx for your comment anyway. Yes, BU is unlimited, but you ever notice from time to time an empty block gets mined? Why does this usually happen? Well, each node has to verify all the transactions of a block. So miners don't lose hash while the block is getting validated, the miner begins mining an empty block. The validation process currently take less than a minute for most nodes. To compete with someone like Visa, we need to validate like a 1000x more transactions than currently can be done. This would require 1GB blocks. However, that block would also take 1000 times longer to validate. Therefore, you would get a lot of empty blocks being mined since validating the blocks with lots of transaction in it would take a whole lot longer than 10 minutes. Since a lot of empty blocks would be mined, the blocks with actual transaction would have to get bigger and bigger. BU is fine if we want to keep the capability down to 50 transactions per second or less. But if BTC wants to get huge, an off chain solution makes more sense.

I have trouble understanding who is still selling? The price is insanely low.
I'm selling now. I was selling yesterday. Was selling yesterday and this morning. Waiting now for bounce so I can sell more. Bitcoin is in the hands of a madman. Was gone doing shit while price was dipping down too so couldn't do anything
Hm, have you tried a stool softener? ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

10mb would be more than ample for the current state of Bitcoin. That would be capable of verifying about 30 to 40 transactions per second. Maybe less since more empty blocks would still end up being mined. However, if Bitcoin wants to compete with the big boys and feasibly be used to buy a cup of coffee; gets the mass adoption us HODLs crave; then we need to find a way to verify thousands of transactions a second. I only see an off chain solution to get us to that step.
