Flashback to June 2015: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQVV0rkt.png&t=665&c=hf9Z-4NdwocC8A) P.S. Greg Maxwell had the benefit of hindsight at the time. It was called the Bretton Woods system.

^ Rather than "proving" altcoins work, one could just as easily derive that no cryptocurrency actually functions as a store of value, hence it being called a currency and not money.

How many people in this space are really interested in having a "store of value?" ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) If that were the case then it wouldn't be a mantra here to "not 'invest' more than you can lose." Many here are in it for the "action." If I really thought this was a good way to accumulate my nest egg, I would have accumulated a whole lot more than 1 BTC. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Try Bitstamp, it's over $30 below btc-e and really low volume today. It's just dipped 50 cents below 950, but that probably won't last long. Bitfinex is $15 higher and the arbitrage traders will soon pump the price on stamp to match finex's.

i feel that once this scaling debate is somehow resolved, which ever way it goes, even worst case scenario, we'll end up WAY higher than this...

Two years ago I was pissed when it went below $250, now I'm pissed when it goes below $1000. In another two years I'm hoping to get pissed when it goes below $10000 after a rally to $30000 or more.

That's changed since the halving.

I think it's hard to guess the difference that will make but it's gotta be huge.

Hey, look Mods! People talking about altcoins here in this thread for pages and pages! But of course if *I* have something mentioned about an altcoin in one of my posts, it gets deletely instantly! Selective much? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) They may have to go back and delete many many pages referencing Alts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) But it is directly part of the greater BTC discussions as of late, during these hard times of uncertainty lol

Today there has been a slow in the BU blocks found... was trending up as late as this morning, but through the day it has been losing steam. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) and we are seeing a stronger price simultaneously it would seem.

That's changed since the halving. Those same coins which were dumped in 2014 are still floating around today, for the most part. You don't think a whole bunch of whales gobbled up all the coins in 2015 for $250.00 and below and then farted away all their private keys? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

But we are not taking that fork ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Unfortunately, I got a PACMiC contract, so ATM is looks like I may not have much of a choice. Hopefully, Jihan Wu can wait to pull the trigger until after I am fully cashed out. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
