Can you please ask her if she's planning to show us some boobage when BTC price starts rising again?
 Perhaps ... |

I already sold all my bcc, not intend to buy back.
Given that segwit2x will have some design bug (I don't think it will be so, replay is known so it should be fixed), I think that hold legacy bitcoin will still be the best solution to avoid every 2x bug.

If there was a significant switch of hashrate from BTC to 2x or bch such that it caused BTC to stall for a significant time, couldn't core implement something similar to bch where the diff adjusted down quicker to compensate? If so shouldn't they be thinking of that now just in case this scenario plays out? Or is this unacceptable for some reason?

That would require another hard fork. Then we'd end up with four Bitcoins to play with. |

Slower blocks may help us to hodl harder. It's a feature, not a bug. |

Its a last resort, and will require a hard fork. After the difficulty change the BTC chain will be open to 51% attacks (by the massive mining power on the other chain) trying to put the final nails in the coffin, so there will need to be a POW change also, and this will alienate any miners who had stayed on the original BTC chain. I don't think an emergency hard fork is going to be easy to get installed by everyone, but there may be no choice. |

That would require another hard fork. Then we'd end up with four Bitcoins to play with. How are improvements/changes made to BTC without hard forking? Are there certain criteria set in stone that cannot be altered without forking? I guess tinkering with the diff retargeting is one of them. Is there something I can read to help me understand what can and can't be changed without a fork so I can stop asking stupid questions on the forum 😊? |

A restriction on the current ruleset can be a soft fork. Loosening the rules would need to be a hard fork. So setting block size down to 500K is a soft fork, up to 2MB is a hard fork. 500K is less than the current rules, so its more restrictive. |

Would BCH be so in demand like BTC? What's its background? Developers? Users? Investors? Service providers? In case of BTC death I would bet on some other alt. |

There's essentially zero changes that are beyond a fork. A soft fork is even capable of removing the sacrosanct 21 million limit. |

Hey, it's a good job you posted that, I'd forgotten what you said 15 minutes ago. |

Over the last few months all this talk of onboarding new users is really a code for creating new bagholders. Everyone was so sold on the Bitcoin 5,000, 10,000, 100,000, 500,000....
They thought it would happen within a year, two years, 3 years tops!
In reality they all fell into the hype trap and now we're going to see the narrative shift yet again, there's always something herding people from stable to stable. What is it this time?
