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

[El duderino_]

only 15 to 25 have made there  guess on when we brake another ATH             ATH  ATH   ATH   GAME   !!!!

and get paid by me for the one guesses most closly ( 0.25BTC ) as another ( 0.25 BTC) for giving the best explanation why the raise at that time

anybody more wants to take a guess feel free to take a date

( for the ones that don't trust me to pay still just waiting for a trusty member to react on this and be confirmt by 2 other trusted members and i deposit the amount with them ......)

ONLY GOOD INTENTIONS

 

I predict ATH on Aug 28th

Good NOTED

becomes the majority fork? what does that mean?

Means that a majority of users and miners gravitate to BitcoinCash.

I realize that this is speculative, but I consider it a not-unlikely possibility. What with the massive difference in transaction capacity -- and thereby in utility -- between the chains.

it is not unlikely, but it wouldn't make it bitcoin. anyway, will be fascinating

Most people don't realize that if SegWit had gotten approved a few years ago, it would have essentially been a non-event and the market would have responded with a whimper.

Even if it everyone loved each other and were putting flowers in their hair, Segwit would still have been a vast deal. It's the first upgrade of capacity.

[Icygreen]

Sure. I'll play.
I'll go with November 21st 10am pacific time
Edit. 2017

For the reason of a near hard fork avoided and rapidly growing users.

52 blocks before current lock-in period ends. Still 37 blocks needed for a lock-in.
There are 81.7% BIP91 blocks mined in the current period.

Doesn't matter, Roger/Jihan will just spam the network and fill it up again, lol.

How many time for 37 blocks ?

Not that I am betting on it, but I think this Segwit on Bitcoin is way more important than it appears on first instance.

Most people don't realize that if SegWit had gotten approved a few years ago, it would have essentially been a non-event and the market would have responded with a whimper.

The only reason that anyone places any significance to it now, is because the miners made it a point of contention to hold back upgrades. They made a mountain out of a molehill. That is really all. And the mega whales are playing it for all its worth (not really that much).

I do somewhat agree. Two years ago the scaling issue was almost a non-issue. It wasn't holding the price. Blocks were not completely full (no matter if spam).

This agreement comes in the perfect moment. In summer, which is an "slow month". It prepares the road for another HUGE pump after the summer.

Now Bitcoin is free to reach any price that is right for it, whichever that is, without the weight that was holding it in favor of other shitcoins.

Not saying that we are going to do a 25x as Ethereum or other shitcoins did this year.... but yeah, I do expect a higher ATH sometime soon and maybe a 2x by end of year. Call me a fool.

around 10 minutes each (do you even Bitcoin?), so 370 minutes.

My dad has been interested in investing in bitcoin for a while. I told him to do it SOON before this Segwit drama is over... told him to hurry up and do it this weekend when we dipped to $1900... I knew it was a great opp thanks to noobs panicking. He was lazy about it and finally when I told him we were at $2600 he transfers me the $$ to put in bitcoin.

Now I'm not even sure.... hate buying bitcoin near ATH levels  ..... especially when my personal cost avg is $580 lmao!!  


But what do you guys think, with segwit cleared is this the start of a new rally? I think it could be... but hate buying when we are at a high

The scaling issue was raised the moment the 32mb limit was reduced in 2010.

How would that have happened? Not only was there no segwit release a few years ago, there wasn't even any serious discussion of it.

You know what change would have avoided this entire clusterfuck? A simple increase in max block size. Any time up to the point where the 1MB limit started getting hit routinely.

[bikerleszno]

46 blocks before current lock-in period ends. Still 31 blocks needed for a lock-in.
There are 82.1% BIP91 blocks mined in the current period.

In about 5-6 hours we will be in BIP91 lock-in So be ready Price will explode even more

If it was not SegWit or max block size those who want to seize power from Core would have found some other issue to bitch about and rally around.

About micgoossens's ATH guessing game
I predict August 4th



EDIT: AUGUST 3rd, see below. (The 4th was already taken by a heavyweight.)

I'd just like to say it's been a pleasure riding this rollercoaster with you all these past few years.
