The real question is will we get a Bitcoinity gif at 8000?

[afbitcoins]

The x2 chain, in a darwinist/capitalist context, is more likely to survive than the x1 chain.

The highlighted aspect says to me - fear of being poor. That's why they won't disrupt how Bitcoin is operating and that informs all behaviour in this space.

or..., that is why they will provide the network with better features that make it more competitive in relation to its environment.
Every biologically immutable being is doomed to disappear with respect to those who do. Homo sapiens vs Homo erectus.

If that's  the case, why did VHS survive and Betamax die?

Standard Betamax tapes lasted 60 minutes — not long enough to record a movie. Conversely, the 3-hour VHS tapes were perfect for recording television programmes and movies

This was an unexpected BOOM

Insert rocket flying to the moon picture

or is it lambos now?

Core voluntarily decided not to attend the NY agreement. Nobody left them out

If I call a meeting to take over the world and no one shows up, do I win anything?

[Syke]

It's MIT-riced Lambos now.

Here is the message quoted from the bitcoin-segwit2x mailing list confirming that the hard fork is suspended:

The Segwit2x effort began in May with a simple purpose:  to increase the blocksize and improve Bitcoin scalability. At the time, the Bitcoin community was in crisis after nearly 3 years of heavy debate, and consensus for Segwit seemed like a distant mirage with only 30% support among miners. Segwit2x found its first success in August, as it broke the deadlock and quickly led to Segwit’s successful activation. Since that time, the team shifted its efforts to phase two of the project - a 2MB blocksize increase.

Our goal has always been a smooth upgrade for Bitcoin.  Although we strongly believe in the need for a larger blocksize, there is something we believe is even more important: keeping the community together. Unfortunately, it is clear that we have not built sufficient consensus for a clean blocksize upgrade at this time. Continuing on the current path could divide the community and be a setback to Bitcoin’s growth. This was never the goal of Segwit2x.

As fees rise on the blockchain, we believe it will eventually become obvious that on-chain capacity increases are necessary. When that happens, we hope the community will come together and find a solution, possibly with a blocksize increase. Until then, we are suspending our plans for the upcoming 2MB upgrade.

We want to thank everyone that contributed constructively to Segwit2x, whether you were in favor or against. Your efforts are what makes Bitcoin great. Bitcoin remains the greatest form of money mankind has ever seen, and we remain dedicated to protecting and fostering its growth worldwide.

Looks like this is the reason for the pump then? Would definitely make sense.

I remember watching, and renting, movies on Betamax

lol   "Segwit2x got cancelled?"    

[Biro Bob]

Hodl.. This is coming to a Lambo dealer near you (maybe)

Can I get a tow bar with that? I need to pull a trailer.

That pump from 7500 to 7850 was quite enjoyable

yep, that is my main concern, too.
