reaching 70% dominance. on cmc, which was always rigged in favour of alts.

BTC dominance was always over 80% until the BCH split happened. From that moment on. Or better to say a bit before that, was always uncertainty. Not just BCH steal dominance but also ETH, which many considered as BTC version two. But it ended just as a platform to crowdfund founds with illegal securities.  And it seems it lasted for two whole years.

There was an explosion of ICOs at that time. The BCH fork wasn’t a driver.

From end of 2017 Feb to mid 2017 Jun, BTC dominance plunged from over 85% to below 40%.

The beginning of 2017 is when blocks started becoming persistently full.

The loss of dominance was due neither to BCH nor ICOs. 'Twas the Blockalypse. Or more pecisely, Blockalypse I.

Huh?  So you are trying to say altcoins have all the growth potential and Bitcoin is headed for an early grave? 

i am a mountainbiker. bitcoin and shitcoins are NOT on the same bike. eventhough i like the idea of this meme, while btc might as well be on a bike, alts are ants trying to cross a 1 mile wide scotch tape.

Well silver has turned out to be a pretty crappy investment.   When adjusted for inflation it is worth less now than its value 50 years ago.   Way less.   Not a hedge at all.   (Silver is about 1/8th the value now as it was in 1979)

My point is there is a lot of ways to take that image and many of them aren't positive for Bitcoin.

I am going to buy some corn to get the dominance there so you won’t feel guilty when emptying that bottle.
You can thank me later.
Now I am going to buy that 0.1% world bitcoin...

Nah! You don't get it right!

Bitcoin is going to crush the altcoin soon only the ashes will be left in future.

And this is why most people ignore you when you mention bitcoin, fly by night outfits like this do not serve bitcoin evangelism very well...

1)   jbreher's arguments above should serve as evidence that there is still a decent amount of stubborn hopium regarding the presentation of a bitcoin is broken narrative, even if using various misreprsentations and faulty inferences from the presented evidence.

2) spammer BIG blockers like to conveniently forget how much resources they were pumping into spamming BTC's blockchain in mid to late 2017 and more intensely for about two months in December 2017 and January 2018 in order to attempt to provide facts for their narrative that bitcoin is broken due to high transaction fees and slow transaction times.  It was a costly endeavor for them, and may have paid off in some ways, but also in mid January  2018 it became somewhat apparent that the amount of resources they were spending to spam the bitcoin blockchain was likely not paying off as much as it was costing, including providing incentives for quasi-rogue white knights in bitcoin to launch lightning network way earlier than any of the more prominent folks in BTC were advicing.. and the spam attack was creating more emergency like conditions in bitcoin, but then suddenly those spam attacks stopped in late January 2018 - causing BTC fees and transaction times to come back down to more normal levels.  Of course, BIG blocker nutjob and BTC naysayers still want to use this as their "factual" narrative, but here in jbreher's case, of course, he wants to distract by trying to claim that there were full blocks dating back to early 2017... and even if that were somewhat true, who fucking cares, because the implementation of segwit in August 2017 and its further adopted use in bitcoin had brought a decent amount of additional relief onto bitcoin's main chain.

Scumball scammer fuckers and child molesters are using bcash variants.    The weather channel is using bcash variants too, and it is proposed that maybe ethereum scumbags are going to use bcash variants too, since kriptokitties broke them down... So soon they will have a certain kind of cyber/make believe pussies ontop of those BIG ASS bcash block variants too... NOT sure if they will fill it up with all that important stuff, but just saying.

The remainder of the peeps including normal fuckers and everybody else is using bitcoin and will most likely continue to use bitcoin, since bitcoin is not broken and also bitcoin has strong foundational principles that are likely to continue to allow bitcoin to scale as we go... with ongoing decent attempts at fee incentives too, that attempt to discourage spamming with bullshit nonsense, like the weather or cryptocats.

Upon performing some complex math, I have approximated that 1979 was 40 years ago    - not 50 years ago. 

You're welcome.

his racism and hate to this forum. everyone quoting him is helping this fucked up retarded arsehole wanker.

Do you want total war?

JJG:  could you please lead by example and not quote Roach as well?

If you must enagage him fine, just hold off the quotes function.

Nice try.

It was the ICO boom of 2017 driving up the price of ETH to 35% market dominance. 

ICOs and token sales became popular in 2017. There were at least 18 websites tracking ICOs before mid-year.[12] In May, the ICO for a new web browser called Brave generated about $35 million in under 30 seconds.[citation needed] Messaging app developer Kik's September 2017 ICO raised nearly $100 million. At the start of October 2017, ICO coin sales worth $2.3 billion had been conducted during the year, more than ten times as much as in all of 2016.[13][14] As of November 2017, there were around 50 offerings a month,[15] with the highest-grossing ICO as of January 2018, being Filecoin raising $257 million (and $200 million of that within the first hour of their token sale).[16]

I will consider your proposal, but probably I will NOT change too much whatever I have been doing in regards to that dweeb.  

Members here can chose to ignore me if they believe that to be helpful to their own use - regarding how much I quote that lame-brain and any value (or not) that they find therein.

Hey, at least I was not asking his opinion in response to an article... hahahahaha   Wasn't that Totscha...the dead grumpy cat... hahahaha.. but when I look back at the quote (here it is for ease of reference), even Totscha was making a bitcoin point, regarding how money is gravitating into bitcoin and even money that historically has been in gold is gravitating into bitcoin, too.  

Gotta rub it in, sometimes, so the more I type the more I consider that using dumbass for a spring board is sometimes relevant, at least from my perspective, but on the other hand, if there might be times that I can edit a bit more out from him, while still making whatever point that I need to make, I might make those kinds of changes, if I believe them to be prudent.

[HairyMaclairy]

I find your posts useful.  And mostly you do not quote the more egregious content. 

However it is harder to crack down on new posters for quoting roach’s particularly bad content when you freely quote the other stuff. 

Thank you for considering this request.
