Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Indeed.  

Roger Ver has done a huge amount to further Bitcoin adoption.  Perhaps more than anyone else besides Satoshi Nakamoto.  He truly loves Bitcoin and wants to see all of the world adopt it.  That people now abuse him for trying to fix the problem of high fees and unreliable confirmations is heart-breaking for me.

You don't fix bitcoin by cloning it and trying to steal the brand.

So which cars are the spam? Or does VerWu need a min to fire up the spam machine?

Lol

How does it feel to know that the whole Bcash one trick pony can loose most of its market cap the second Core feels that the benefit of raising the blocksize to 2mb outweighs the risk? That's their worst case scenario, and by the time 2mb is spammed to hell and people start bitchin' again LN should be right around the corner.

It is that fear that keeps me from shifting more of my BTC holdings to BCH.  

I believe that if BTC cannot raise the block size limit in the medium-term (3 - 12 months) then BCH will fully take its place as the dominant crypto.  

However, if BTC is able to raise the block size limit, I could see BCH dying.  But I think the political machine that BS/Core built to prevent the block size limit from being lifted will come back to bite them.  Why won't all the same arguments against a block size limit be used again?  If BTC tries to increase the limit, will this result in yet another fork and another form of Bitcoin (e.g., will this next fork have replay protection or not)?  Will that really work?  Or will people just decide that BCH is the solution for lower fees and more reliable confirmation times?

Not with 3 whole million dollars of investment they ain't. Let's see if these wonder chips happen.

I paid 10 satoshis/byte ( .13cents)  for a largish transaction on the competing chain which shall remain nameless. (It was in the next block)

Fees are going to be cheap when no one is using it and when no one even feels inclined to spend any time and resources to spam attack it.

Price seems to be slowly recovering from low 15000’s to 15600 as I type this. Not sure if anybody cares whilst they’re dick measuring in here.

Is the bottom in?

No. Get your weener out too.

Same fear that Ver, Wu, and Wright all have.

Such conviction!  And yet everyone should buy the shitcoin!

Ooh, a dick measuring contest. This oughta be good.

Aww, bless them

 

But... but... he started it !!

Ahja, but you enjoyed it! (and made me and probably more people laugh loud, thanks for that, it softens looking at the charts a bit)

Wow, nice discussion, but very emotional for my. At any moment, Torque and company start slapping and scratching.

it is a madhouse. Quick. To the dick bike!

Presently I hold 3 BCH per BTC.  It is foolish to put all of your eggs in one basket.  

If you think the vision of "digital gold" will win then maybe you should hold 2 BTC per BCH.  

Don't let your ideology prevent you from making wise investment decisions.  Selling all your BTC or all your BCH is not smart.

I highlighted the part that gives away your true intentions. You cannot fear that if you really want BTC to change the world for the better. You fear that because you have alterior motives.

There are numerous altcoins that I'll happily diversify into while completely avoiding the rotten apple that is BCash.

I thought I feared it because shifting all my BTC to BCH could result in me losing all my crypto investment if BCH went to zero (e.g., if BTC actually got its act together and increased the block size limit).

I guess you know me better than I know myself.
