SegWit2x support growing day by day, WHY FORK FUD and PANIC

[mike4001]

BIP91 is now listed at coin.dance

lets see how big it climbs (only started a few hours ago)

[Minecache]

Ok, so yesterday, July 16, SegWit2x support was 87.7%. Today it has increase to 88.2% and keeps growing.

Still I see tons of people crying about potential fork. Cmmon people, we all know by the end of this week SegWit2x support s probably going to go over 95%. Why do you buy that FUD about Bitcoin fork?
Regardless what you think about this Bitcoin core vs Miners debate, do you really think a fork supported by 3-4% of the miners is a sustainable Bitcoin chain?

As usual, panic makes weak hands sell and they lose money. The purpose of this thread is make people think twice before they sell coins they purchased at a premium. Dont let be manipulated by pumpers&dumpers and do not let panic gets you.

Dont let pointless panic redistributes your money from impatient to more patient traders, as Mr. Buffett would say.

Gud thread. I agree the FUD has to stop. Use this as a buying opportunity to fill your bag hodlall.

There was never going to be support for Segwit2X that is less than 90%...The highest %signalling 2X has had is 92%. Come Aug 01, it will even be higher.

All miners switch to SegWit2x eventually, otherwise their blocks would be orphaned by other miners. At this point I see SegWit2x is guaranteed to happen. And its nice finally some kind of scalling agreement is honoured.

I totally agree, hope everything goes smooth

Chinese pools and Bitfury started signaling BIP91 today in order to get SegWit locked in as soon as possible. You can see the holdouts at https://www.xbt.eu/

Segwit2x is garbage that doesn't do a damn thing for scale. http://bitcoinabc.org is what the majority of us signed up for.

31% in the last 24 hours already?
Let me grab some popcorn and enjoy the show

Are there any chances we might get another version of god knows what bip before Aug 1st?
As this looks to be going far to well compared to how things usually go in bitcoinland.

The majority being... you?

I'm with you man. I always told myself since the news came out that it will split the bitcoin badly. With the current rate of supporter I don't think either that it will affect the blockchain by any means. With that belief I also saved up many bitcoins and bought new when the price was so less which is still less for new investors looking for an opportunity. I'm still more than happy that this scene happened as it gave me chance to buy more bitcoin and invest for future projects. :-)

+1 to this attitude. Instead of seeing a crash, people should see an opportunity not only in BTC but also in alts. This kind of buy low opportunity takes place once every 3-4 years.

Finally a good post and much needed one. It would be good if you gave a piece of advice to all of us here not pay any heed to posts creating or contributing in the creation of FUD. I think nothing has harmed bitcoin so much as all this unnecessary fud and panic being created by a few noobs.

Finally someone who is actually in touch with current news.
Guys bitcoin is going to fork by Aug 1 into two seperate chains: BTC and BCC
Bitcoinabc is launching their coin named BCC(Bitcoin cash) by August one whether miners want the coin or not.
Viabtc has already announced it's going to mine and trade BCC.

Everyone buckle up for some action... the fork is definitely taking place!! Ha ha ha


By the way I'm a biiig fan of BCC and don't like segwit2x one tiny bit.

The Bitcoin Scaling Countdown: Miners Begin Running Segwit2x Software

Miners Begin Running the New Segwit2x Software

As the price of bitcoin dropped to new lows this weekend, some bitcoin proponents were patiently waiting for the promised BTC1 software. Now it seems in a short period of time the bitcoin ‘community’ may see the protocol Segregated Witness (Segwit) activated as the mining community has begun to signal BIP91. The proposal BIP91 is a combination of Segwit2x and BIP148. The version 1.14.4 code has been pushed to the repository by the Segwit2x working group, and a few mining pools have already started running the protocol.

I have nothing against occasional price swings, after all this is how traders make money. I do have a line which I think should not be crossed. That line is when FUD and corresponding market response starts affecting credibility of Bitcoin. Cause reputation s so hard to build and so easy to destroy.

I also think nothing major will happen but people, especially new investors, will lose a lot of money and they will not come back to crypto for a long time. If d have to choose between these users and speculators, well, the choice d be easy.

But at the same time those that will leave bitcoin for its price swings are not ready for bitcoin at all, bitcoin moves a lot more than the traditional markets so people need to be ready fort that.

Thanks for the link. The reason people cry and fud is that they do not have information of what is going on and where bitcoin is heading. Links like these will let people know exactly what is going to happen and thus this will bring positive energy to bitcoins.

Looks the Bitcoin already got the positive energy on this day, The price of bitcoin it bumps again. I will believe a lot of the support for the segwit2x. The BIP91 already listed on the coin.dance/blocks I will expecting the fast growth of the chart. The more support will come asap. HODL can be a good reason for us to keep our bitcoin.  FUD will cry as fast as possible.

[xskl0]

88.6% right now

[Pursuer]

haha, FUD is like part and parcel of bitcoin now. and it seems like there is nothing changing that for years to come.
you have to be more like Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love FUD
I will soon update that thing with the new chart showing this new FUD mania.
and it is funny how the last post (screenshot) I made in there was for a split FUD

Hahaha finally got the news that Bitmain is also in, those girls finally sorted their drama and it's good for the community, it's always the same story the hard folk is not coming the best buying opportunity is now before it shoots ups to never come down. Wonder how many made a loss and sold their coins, put your hands up and hit the buy button cause you won't get a chance again. Let the bull run begin again.

The problem is the node counts for btc1 at bitnodes do not agree with BIP91 signaling at https://www.xbt.eu/

I think miners are just signaling for BIP91 but have not changed their production client.

[User365]

I agree with you, a split would be bad for everyone, so everyone want's no split. Therefore we don't have to be afraid of august 1

I even bought some coins as I think the price will rise.

Just look at that stats, more than 600 blocks are in favour of segwit2x pool and it is still growing day by day. Thanks for sharing this analysis as it made me sure about my recent bitcoin purchases as well as more bitcoins that are going to be mine very soon. Lols. I mean this hard fork would be just blow wind which will disperse in the atmosphere in no time and we are again ready to get those profits we are waiting for.

No need to thank me, I just wanted to stop this FUD which brings good to noone but speculators.

As we can see, miners have already started signaling SegWit2x SUPPORT and not only intention to support. This means we might have SegWit2x locked in before the end of this week. After that, there s really no need to consider any further instability cause Bitcoin will be overcoming one more major obstacle.
