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

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

@cashodler brings up some valid points. Coinbase changing their stance on BCC was important. It is still early days. John Stuart Millibit wrote an article that laid out a scenario where BCC could take over from BTC in a matter of days, possibly in November if the 2 MB hard fork in SegWit2X is not honoured. Don't forget mining is still centralized in China which means to a large degree what Jihan Wu wants he gets. Smart investors do not bury their heads in the sand but gather information on both sides so they can make informed decisions.

Good catch!... I think I have some kind of "ignore mode On", and I never see these messages. I probably see not even 50 points on their accounts and I skip. It might be a good or bad habit, depends how you see it.  

I always give everyone that comes here the benefit of the doubt at first, even if they are brand new.

But if they begin to show their true colors to be a troll, a shill for alts, butt hurt for selling out, or just plain belligerent and argumentative for no reason other than to stroke their own ego, and I've had enough of their shit, then I hit ignore.

It amazes me how many trolls come to this forum specificially to bash on Bitcoin. What a waste of time for them. But eventually they run out of gas and leave, just like JStolfi and all the rest. I suspect that r0ach will eventually run out of gas too, or just everyone will put him on ignore so his silver/nazi crap just falls on deaf ears.

I've read his comment after you pointed it out, and the first impression about the guy was that he is batsh!t crazy!   .. and I even laughed a bit / amused myself of his stupidity.

I might be bias, but I think "Thing 1" is more fluffy!

I currently have 15 Bitcoins.  They are held here:

5 on Coinbase
5 on Blockchain.info wallet
5 in Cold Storage

It seems I will get 5 BCH from Coinbase on 1/1/18 but will I be getting 10 more BCH from my other two methods of securing the other 10 BTC?

n ext move has to be up, im not even worried about it

Segwit = ~3.5mb
Segwit 2X = 7mb+
BCC = 8mb

What will the BTC2X fork selling point be? "We have 7mb" vs BCC "we have 8 mb" ??  

Yeah right.

 Scroll to the top of this window.  See the words "News: ALL CLEAR: You can now..."?
Read that and you will be enlightened.

In this moment, I am serene.

Me too, especially when BITCOIN's price and hash rate are still increasing. 

Indeed. So why the angst over a fork?

Speaking of AltCash, isn't it time to come to an agreement regarding its ticker designation?

BTC is already well established for Bitcoin. I always thought BCC referred to Bitcoin Core, as compared to BCU for Bitcoin Unlimited.

BCH seems the obvious choice for the altcoin "Bitcoin" Cash. Can't we all just go with that?

I've never seen BitcoinCore abbreviated as BCC. The first exchanges that listed Bitcoin Cash listed as BCC. Unfortunate, as it clashes with the symbol some other exchanges use for BitConnect.

Bitcoin Unlimited (BU) is an implementation, not a coin. Early versions of BU run on the legacy chain, and the most recent version runs on the Bitcoin Cash chain. Either way, as long as it is an implementation and not a chain, it gets no ticker symbol.

BCH is getting some use on other exchanges. It seems unique, though I can't agree with you that is is an obvious choice - BitCoincasH is hardly intuitive.

There was an early surge of using simply BC for Bitcoin Cash. Two-letter tickers are not unprecedented. A newer variant is XBC, adopting the ISO 'X' prefix used for non-governmental monetary units. I rather like the latter.

You should ask the Bcash supporters that. Why they are here in the BITCOIN sub forum, shilling and trolling. Is it because they don't have their own forum yet? Or just here to make noise?

Because Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin, silly.

I've heard the SEC is going to approve Bitcoin cash ETF this year.

I've heard the SEC is going to approve Bitcoin cash ETF this year.

I've heard that the Monero ETF will be right behind it.

You each get a facepalm.
