^^ ...but you have an alternative cryptocurrency that you can use though right? no one is forcing you to use either BTC or BCH...

me neither for that matter.

Markets...they are all bitcoin, when we want to swap an alt...we will have to pay extra for using segwitcoin version...so will the exchanges and miners and pools ...everyone!
thats just a few of the top of my head, theres alooot more.

No one will be forcing any of them to use either BTC or BCH or SegwitX2 - the market , the exchanges, the users ,the miners they can all decide and they all have the free choice to use either, both, or neither.


Free market and all that.

Losing all the merchants to the Bitpay chain could be a problem.

Currently bch is treated like and alt by exchanges and forums, this will change.

....one thing I know -  is that the looks on peoples faces,people that you have spoken to about Bitcoin for years, that are sceptical or on the sidelines - the look on all of their faces when you explain Bitcoin and the Bitcoin Fork Bitcoin Cash is pretty much conclusive... and it is a look that says  "glad I am not involved with that shit"


No matter how you dice it- its a shitshow.

One I would much rather had been resolved in another way

The collective market will decide one way or another - of that we can be sure.

No matter how you dice it- its a shitshow.

One I would much rather had been resolved in another way 

Then you show them the price chart and suddenly they experience very different emotions.

Look people, it's done. Get over it and focus on the future. This is becoming increasingly nauseating.

Can't trust anyone now. The bitcoin faithful hold free bcc. As far as I'm concerned everyone is full of shit.

...dealing with the present at the moment

Looks to me that we are in the middle  of something

What better way is there of deciding the path forward for a decentralized cryptocurrency than the market?  Perhaps you would prefer some sort of cabal dictating the right answer to the market?

How many free bcc do you hold? let me guess, you dumped them already and gave the profits to the homeless...

They were forced on us.

Could you perhaps explain how that is in any way relevant?

And indeed, this has always been the plan. It worked exactly how it was intended to work.

yeah...no

their eyes glaze over, this is the worst thing that ever happened for adoption...amateur hour


it is profoundly embarrassing that, apparently, our species is not yet equipped for self governance

Don't get me wrong- the free market is the way to it will be decided...100%  and so it should be

I just wish it could have been resolved another way- a way that did not involve playing chicken with $60 billion dollars on a global stage.

I do get how we got here...


I just dont want to see this:

                                                                   Marketcap

2) Bitcoin Cash                                                    $0
3) Bitcoin Segwit x2                                             $0
4) Bitcoin Blockstream Satellite only                      $0
5) Bitcoin What another one?                                $0
6) Bitcoin This is getting silly now                          $0
7) Bitcoin Really?                                                 $0
Bitcoin Trash                                                   $0

No? I suggested my uncle get some coins when the price was in the 400s. He declined. Told him about recent developments and his refreshingly mature reaction was to congratulate me.

Anyway. Do you disagree that the decision mechanism worked as intended?
