Is BitcoinCash a joke?

[Casdinyard]

Seems pretty legit as of now, the name though still seems like a joke lol

Well my friends are excited about this free coin like its an instant cash for them. But it just end there.
After they converted it to fiat then they will not buy to have again another bcc.
Well I just dont really like this idea photocopying bitcoin. They say it will be the next btc in the future as the supply becomes very limited. Damn, bitcoin is bitcoin and no other be.

I wonder of "We the People", as in 40 billion $, will trust a 3 month old website and a lame copycat of the Bitcoin Core software.

To be fair, being a copycat is kind of a good thing. Their code is likely to be less buggy if they copy the tried and tested code and only modify small amounts of it themselves.

Anyway, I suppose we'll have to find out after August 1st who the market supports.  I agree that Bitcoin Cash doing to well is unlikely - kwukduck started a thread saying that it would do well, so now I'm quite convinced that it won't.

Now is August 2 and we saw that the bcc or the bitcoin cash is not a joke, hence, it is an interesting coin because the value of it rises but not that much compared to the original. I can see a potential to this coin, I'd aldo like to invest in these but not that much, maybe it is because of their first bloom that's why they rise their value already, for me bitcoin is still the best.

The value rises, because the ONLY supply of BCC are some exchanges that did clients the favor of managing their BCC wallet (including the splitting). So the total amount of coins that can be SOLD is limited by those that remained -against all advise- BTC on exchange. The rest will have to wait until wallet opens. Noteworthy, we only seen less than 50,000 coins traded. But there are over 20,000,000 coins that people may want to trade for something else as soon as the first exchange opens transfers.

WARNING: current price of BCC is the price of the coins that happened to be converted from clients on the exchange that owned BTC at fork time, settling with those that for some reason don't want to wait for the cheap supply from those on Wallet. This is not advise - it's just observing that the vast majority of BCC cannot be moved to an exchange to trade for something else until the Exchanges open deposits for BCC.

It looks like to me that it has the same people behind it as the Bitcoin Unlimited, but it's only a couple months old:

https://www.bitcoinabc.org/  - Created Date: 2017-05-09
https://www.bitcoincash.org/ -  Created Date: 2017-03-05

They want to do a 8 MB hardfork on August 1

Bitcoin Cash provides much needed relief to users with an immediate increase of the block size limit to 8MB.

On August 1st 2017, We the People will breathe new life into Bitcoin.

I wonder of "We the People", as in 40 billion $, will trust a 3 month old website and a lame copycat of the Bitcoin Core software.

On the contrary, considering it launched at the full difficulty of the legacy Bitcoin chain, managed to have essentially volunteer miners find even its first post-fork block (some call it the Exodus Block), has since demonstrated that it's new downward difficulty adjusting mechanism works as designed, and is now clearly functional enough to survive to the next standard difficulty adjustment despite its miners still operating at a cost deficit seems to me to be a quite good showing so far. Morever, in the midst of being bombed by the Nothing-But-Core and dump free coins crowds, it's still holding up as the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, despite being less than four days old. I'd say that's hardly a joke.

Furthermore, it's clearly proved the Blockstream and Core contentions that a hard fork would be disastrous, or must take forever to plan were always bald-faced lies.

Going forward, it's going to function as a hedge against possible problems with SegWit and it's unnecessary, Rube Goldgerg-ian complexity, as well as insurance that on-chain scaling will continue regardless of whether the 2x part of SegWit2x ever activates.

Lastly, even in its nascent state, it's demonstrating what actual developer decentralization can look like in the Bitcoin space, with four different development teams, each fielding its own compatible client.

I think the same people that are behind bitcoin unlimited are behind bitcoin cash and I think splitting is not the right thing to do as bitcoin core has a very strong foundation! It's currently serving as a gold standard to others altcoins and that always create sympathy from altcoins investment when ever fork issue come up. The owners of bitcoin cash should convert their coins to altcoins instead of splitting.

I have used bcc now, and while it is slow as hell the user exp. is 100% the same with bitcoin. I would bet that if more miners moved over 80% of the bitcoin users would not care if bcc or btc won in the end.

it has to be cheap, it has to be fast. the rest, well most of the people dont know how a creditcard works, yet they use it.

This may be true, but don't you think the Core devs were coding for UASF148 and Segwit2x behind the scenes? Who do you think shaolinfry really "was"? From what I've heard he is Peter Todd. Nobody is speaking publicly right now because they don't want to get their heads sawed off by the hate machine. This doesn't mean that code can't be written.

BCC is doing great, and the blocks aren't full. The mempool is clear despite huge volume, and the difficulty is adjusting as it should.

And the devs are actually writing code, rather than trolling on reddit and putting people down!

But it seems to me that this is a complete fucking thing. We still all claim that Bitcoin should take the leading position among the currency and every person on Earth should use Bitcoin as a means of payment. But there are And such nuances will be repeated all the time, then a simple person will not be able to control the crypto currency and even more so to use it. Because knowledge must be very huge.

It's facing negative PR campaign!

It's normal for every coin that just launched to the market, I've seen yesterday bcash price was $283 and it rise up to $382 https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/
Bcash is just an altcoin and just like other coins, it will be used as trading object. It is a good time to watch over the price and wait for the best time to cash out, maybe bcash could recover to over $500 again.

Yes, it's a trader's alt, BUT...

(1)  First official Bitcoin fork

(2)  Moving $1.5 billion on 30,000 tx per day

(3)  More hash power on the way when diff drops and network stable

(4)  Devs can easily make various improvements without all the politics and overhead Core has

So much win, baby. You will get tired of winning !!

Is BitcoinCash a joke?

Yes, if you believe the withepaper of BitCoin from Satoshi Nakamoto is a joke.

[bcsuisse]

is there any site comparing btc to bcc in terms of hashpower, transactions, wallets , etc.

[tansoft64]

BitcoinCash for me is not a joke because they create that alt-coin by there hard work and it is huge investment too for the development! If it is a joke so they are wasting there money! BitcoinCash has a huge potential now in the market.

Is the joke on the security of our BTC wallets?

Is BitcoinCash a joke?

Yes, if you believe the withepaper of BitCoin from Satoshi Nakamoto is a joke.

as if we never saw or read or even heard of the bitcoin paper by Satoshi Nakamoto.
as if in the paper Satoshi says make the blocks so big that it makes everything centralized.
as if in the paper Satoshi says fuck consensus, fork if you want to fork even if you are alone.
as if in the paper Satoshi says abuse my identity with lies and steal it to attract idiots to your fork to no longer be "alone" but have some gullible sheep with you.

You may be right, but I won't be turning down free altcoins.

You tell the idea of the vast majority of people，lol
bitcoincash just a speculation,as I see!

Indeed if we do read the whitepaper of Bitcoin we would really say that this is really a joke since all on Bcc is opposing on what it should be on Bitcoin but this joke did probably give some free money on Btc users and we cant really deny on that thing because we did know that bcash price hypes up and tend to sell on those price points and yet somehow gives us benefits and theres no other than that because people most of their bcc have been dumped already.

This.

Bitcoincash gave you something, while it took nothing from you. Why are you even whining? If you still don't trust bitcoincash, donate your coins for the good cause.
Even right now 1 BCC can feed at least 5 people a three times meal.

[Traxo]

Is someone's (not mine) speculation of $1000 and perhaps roughly 0.25 - 0.33 BTC going to be a joke and who is the joke on?
