When segwit goes active it may not be too long after that atomic swap trading can be used to dump BCH without having to go through the centralised exchanges ...

The Bitcoin Cash blockchain is currently operating at 17% of the original chain's difficulty.


The original chain has grown 713.42MB more than the Bitcoin Cash blockchain.


It is currently 114% more profitable to mine on the original chain.

and there can be issue for BTC, as miners will redirect minig rigs for profit instead.

by the by the bitcoin cash alt that 'shall not be mentioned' is up 10% wtf?

(so confused...the longer I'm in crypto .the more stuff to become 'clueless' about......can't keep up)

Over 900 imaginary assets (including bitcoin itself) all have a value over 0.  Looks perfectly rational to me!

Wasn't there more than 900 crypto assets listed on coinmarketcap.com two years ago, and I am sure that the number has more than doubled, no? 

If I go to coinmarketcap.com right now, I see 1037 listed, but that is not all of them, right?  Maybe another 500 or more?  Frequently confusing to differentiate the good and the not so good, even though a few of them seem gooder than others, hahahhahaha, so it seems imprudent to lump them together to make some profound general point - except that there a lot of fricken crypto projects.

when he stop , bitcoin stop.  stop  

[JayJuanGee]

At this time is it good to invest in Alt?? or should i stick to BTC?

This is largely a BTC thread, so what the fuck do you expect real non-shill participants to say?  Of course you gotta figure out a strategy to include BTC in some way, but ultimately the allocation, diversification and accumulation strategy is going to be something that is tailored to yourself - so think the fuck about lots of things, but don't remove your eye too far from the prize and don't try to get involved in too many alts, especially if you don't understand them.  Furthermore, the fact that you are asking the question that you asks causes me to believe that you do not sufficiently recognize what differentiates bitcoin from the rest... and that is o.k. too.. as long as you are attempting to learn and attempting to learn for yourself rather than possibly relying too much on the advices of interwebinator folks.

Thanks, empowering.  This information seems like it could be a very good thread - but maybe it is equally fine to just have it in this thread?  

[J_A_Bankster]

The only reason he (Buffet) dumped his silver position was because he was basically warned off by the banksters that it would blow up their fiat monetary scam if he persevered

And here we have Marcus accidentally admitting the Jewish criminal bankers want you buying bitcoins and not silver at all costs.  If you're buying something the bankers want you in, you are going to get demolished.

It should be common knowledge that silver is a great long term investment... but this hatred for Jewish people is despicable and also the real bitcoin is a liberation for all of humanity..

When I say the real Bitcoin, of course I mean Bitcoin Cash... Which soon enough will be reclaiming its name as: Bitcoin

Neither 1 MB or 8 MB blocks is a solution to the problem as I outlined here:

What special interest groups neglected to tell you about the block size issue:

From an economics point of view, trying to force the entire planet onto a fixed block size with low scaling is a pro-usury extortion stance.  Small blocks are a synthetic monopoly.  If criminal banks believe they can take control of this monopoly, either through getting a large percent of the transaction validators, or by taking control of all services that facilitate off-chain transactions like Coinbase (or lightning) since on-chain transactions are too expensive to use, then the criminal banks would likely support small blocks over large ones.

The solution to the problem is not 1 MB or 8 MB blocks.  Any system with a fixed block size is going to inherently be a pro-usury extortion scheme due to synthetic monopoly.  You would need to use a dynamic, scaling block size like Monero to fix that.
