Thank you for the cheap coins.

[JimboToronto]

Here we go again. $2753 Bitcoinaverage, $2764 Stamp.

Go Bitcoin go.

[bitserve]

What did you expect? One way or another, the scaling issue will be solved soon (or Bitcoin "dead" again).

Segwit activation = $5k BTC = Mainstream media attention = New Wave of Adopters = $10k BTC = Clif Highs forecast coming to life

Was always going to happen. It's what people do in the crypto world, pump shitcoin's, shill them a bit & then dump the fuck out of them to increase their position's in bitcoin.

Very few altcoin's are to be taken seriously going forward.

It's nice to see someone who understands what the words "pump" and "dump" mean.

They're not synonyms for buy and sell, nor rally and dip.

They refer to dishonest promotional scams, like altcoins or boiler room stocks.

Wow, just wow. What slime.

Pity the fools who got sucked in. Stay away from altcoins without a doing a lot of research first.

Today is a happy day. We are finally very close to a non-contentious solution for the scaling drama of this past years.

Totally wrong.  Nothing has changed at all and it's still the same old parties having the same old positions.  A contentious Chinese/Jihan Wu fork (only with Barry Silbert added to the mix) vs the other Bitcoin core people:

If you're trying to trade this, it's leaning far more towards a fork disaster than non-contentious fork.

*disclaimer:  I am neither attempting to long or short it myself.

Can you elaborate more on your point? I have already read that and many other twitter/reddit comments that have been posted for the past months.

Let's focus on current status:

- It looks like Segwit2x will pass, maybe even with almost 100% miner support.
- Segwit2x includes Segwit: Good.
- Segwit2x includes a 2MB block size increase soon after: Good. I hate HF's but an almost unanimous HF for a fixed reasonable 2x increase is also ok to me. More so if it is executed with almost 100% miner support.
- I see it as a reasonable compromise. Also, and most importantly, it is PERCEIVED as a reasonable compromise for most of the parties in this "battle".
- It avoids BU, which is an ABOMINATION.
- It avoids UASF, which could be a fucking disaster.

Well, I could go on... But... can you tell me whats the wrong thing about this move?

I don't see why it is "the same old parties having the same old positions". Why do you consider so?

Disclaimer: I am not exactly trying to trade this... But it will for sure influence my trades which, anyway, are almost all the time long for the majority of my trading funds. I only do actively trade a little portion around 25-30% to keep increasing my long term stash.

Roach, you did not reply me to enlighten me in what way I was wrong in this. ANyway, It's unnecesary you do it now, as it looks I was not "totally wrong" but instead totally right on my prospect.

My point was that it's not a "non-contentious" fork.  It's still the same situation on the ground as the last 2 years with nothing really having changed.  It doesn't matter if all the Chinese miners signal they want to hard fork because they all agreed they wanted to do that years ago.  So once again...what exactly has changed?  Pretty much nothing.  It's still Bitcoin core vs Roger Ver and Jihan Wu as usual.  The only thing that's changed at all is Barry Silbert got drunk and took a boat over to the Guangdong province and was like "hey guys, I heard you like pump and dumps??? me too???"

Segwit2x is a trap : why would you want a 2Mb Block size and 6Mb witness signature ... ?

Because asicboost and others miners industries tricks need this size (of block) to avoid the result of the initial SegWit limitation (limitation for miners, not for the nodes ...).

I prefer SegWit right now with 1Mb Block size and 3Mb witness signatures ...

We need more throughput. Period. You got a better solution, code it and release it into the wild.
