A question for the specialists here:
So some entities are liquidating large quantities of BTC to pump up BitcrashCoin, but the price of BTC remains quasi unaffected.
That maybe means there is a substantial inflow of fiat ?
And if these same entities are really planning to, at a certain point, cash their Bitcrash coins out, then what will happen with all the others who bought that thing?
It will be very funny if schism happens in a couple of months due to Core still firm with Segwit and BitcrashCoin takes over the top. Would that be a realistic scenario?

Looking at Polo, seems the BCH is beig sold and recycled into alts. It's a sea of green (apart from BCH).

If (enough) miners switched from BTC to BTH because it was more profitable to mine, it could cause problems for BTC. So yes, it's possible - but the whole market could lose faith with Bitcoin (both) altogether - and no one really wants to kill the golden goose. I hope. EDIT: for clarity

One would hope - that miners- with their business plans- and diminishing returns on hardware- would take a long term view on this and not jump boat for a short term profit.... any outdated hardware though that is no longer bringing in returns in BTC, could be pointed at the BCH chain though with its lower difficulty/and less competition - that would make sense.. for the short term at least.

I only managed to sell a precious few BCH at 0.1956 BTC/BCH (about $790/BCH) :-( Come on bad guys, come on! PUMP IT to $1200!!! It will be good for you!

What I find funny is the number of troll accounts here, still pretending to be pro-Bitcoin.
You can easily peg them by the constant fixation with BCH and all the concern trolling posts and the "what if?" posts.

BTC is still more profitable to mine considering the higher fees, BitcoinCrash will always have a bigger blocksize, therefore, it will always have lower fees. The profitability due hasrate fluctuation is temporal, miners know that they can't gamble too much trying to profit from this, because if they screw up the real Bitcoin, their whole business would collapse.

The miners are going to blow through these 2016 blocks in a day or two. After that the difficulty is going to skyrocket for BCH. Probably close to the 4x limit. I think it's going to be game over for BCH when that happens.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still going sideways... currently $4106USD/$5167CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
AltcoinCash is also going sideways... $723USD/$910CAD (Coinmarketcap).
Neither a rally nor a dip this weekend. I guess a lot of people are waiting to see what happens on Wednesday.
I'm guessing it won't be as dramatic as some people think.

EDIT: for clarity Enough miners won't move from mining of BTC to BCH because of the mining profitable of BCH and if that happen it because they want to make some $$ from the pumping of BCH and convert their BCH later into BTC. EDIT : Only an ignorant person will switch from BTC which usually surge 2 times than it dump to newly born BCH which could crash anytime.

I might have missed it, but does anyone have an explanation for the price difference between Finex and Stamp (usd)?

If so, I need to dump the rest of my BCH. Been hanging on to half to see what happens....

Never the less, if this Mr. Ver en Mr. Wu are as significant as they seem to be, this whole action is to be taken serious. And if it has to do with China, then the more so.

If so, I need to dump the rest of my BCH. Been hanging on to half to see what happens.... Looking at the high frequency of blocks it is spitting, it should be maximun difficulty increment. BUT, IIRC the algo for increasing difficulty does the same as in Bitcoin, so no extreme increment. The difficulty decrease it is much faster when blocks are being slow. Please someone that has taken the time to review the details correct me. I am trying to keep around 50% of my original BCH until the price pumps again (if ever).
