Sideways for days - means we will go south soon... Watching this pattern for years now. Only one guy needs to start a dump and well be at 4 digits....
I have been watching these patterns for years now, too. and for the first two years, during 2014 and 2015, there was a tendency to break down after sideways; however, the past two years (2016 and 2017), there has been a tendency to break up, after sideways. So you seem to be suggesting that we are reverting to the 2014-2015 pattern? Seems way too early to call that kind of reversion, no?

Need to keep an eye on the alts if they’re pumping then the stall is for that reason. As stated above The scam coins will stop being pumped and the profits will go back to btc.

No pumping BTC untill the whales can cash out of ALT with 100% profit.

Troll bears on WO are so funny.. You guys really think we don't notice that you vanish from here when alts are pumping, and then suddenly show up here whenever the Bitcoin price is going sideways? We notice, ok? And we put you in the 'troll' category, and many of you on /ignore.

We need more throughput. Stop being a fucking tribalist and focus on what matters.
Of course we need more throughput. But you need to come up with something better than just increasing blocksize by itself because that’s a shit solution from a decentralization point of view. And I’m not seeing any other options other than LN and other second layer networks. I’m all ears if you can point to a solution. Why? Bigger blocks means more throughput. What is this better that you demand? Suggest something better. Otherwise that's the best we got.

It doesn't solve the problem, it just allows the problem to get bigger. Also...a linear solution for an exponentially expanding problem...

Feel free to make a list of all the hundreds of things that you've been trying to buy online daily or monthly with bitcoin. I'm sure it's a mile long. Those daily fees, amiright?

I have spent literally hundreds in fees over the last few months. I spent $50 just today. Just on transfers. It's real money out of my pocket. And everyone elses. Forget your fucking coffee. Fees don't need to be that big. It's a choice. That we have made. Time to make a better one.

Like 99.99999999999999999% of the rest of the Bitcoin community. I'm so fucking tired of the 'false fallacy' arguments that the Bitcoin community has been having for years now. I would tell you to just go use BCH, but you know what? Those fkn idiots in that camp aren't using BCH for e-Commerce transactions either. Just "transfers". Which just means trades, and that's it. BCH has an 8MB block size "solution" looking for a problem that doesn't exist. They have MILES of empty lane not even being used for ANYTHING even remotely e-Commerce related. But hey, they have low fees to move their coins around for trading! Yay, great!!

Except for the fees, which I don't have. And it's going to get worse until someone codes a solution. Hundred dollar fees are not far off at this rate.

"Something snarky" was my thought as your post was loading. And sure enough. Look, forget the fact that Ver and the other losers chose to implement big blocks. Those guys are narcissists, and bad for business. That doesn't mean that bigger blocks is a bad idea. If we had chosen that, and they had chosen segwit, we would still have this fucking childish tribalistic spat, only our fees would be a tenth of what they are and bcash would be even worse. We fucked up. We need more throughput, by whatever means, and segwit is not delivering. We need bigger blocks, or something that works even better, in less time than it would take to implement a block size increase.

yeah, sorry about that, couldn't resist Look, forget the fact that Ver and the other losers chose to implement big blocks. Those guys are narcissists, and bad for business.

You do have one point, I was thinking just last night, reading Rosewater's link to Rodger's total meltdown over $50, how glad I was that he isn't on "my side". I have always maintained that there were, in fact, honest actors on the big block side of the debate, and I feel for them that they have this Ver albatross around their neck.
