And Bitcoin is going crazy. 9K by the end of the day?

Fantastic news to end the year. Let this explosive price run be a testament for future hard forkers: The market doesn't want no fucking drama, they want certainty. Once certainty was re-established, a long green candle has been delivered, right on time for x-mas.

It looks like they pushed it until the end. Im sure they knew they would cancel it a couple of days ago and already low key bought the dip to deliver the news now. Well, at least they did (were forced to) do the right thing.

Amazing! this is just music to my ears. Finally the coporates and the fraudsters gave up on their cruel plan to take over Bitcoin. I knew it would end up bad and it was very obvious beginning with the lack of replay protection, it was meant to be dead from the very beginning.

Now the best part is, the community will united once again and we can finally focus on working towards improving Bitcoin and help Bitcoin scale over time. I'm sure the Bitcoin core team have a lot in plan and possible we can expect to see a hard fork sometime in the future.

I think that it's becoming quite obvious that consensus is also important to be drawn from core Bitcoin developers.  No "agreement" would get far without support from those that are already standing behind the development of bitcoin.

[LeGaulois]

All the drama for nothing!
So what is the next step for Bitcoin now and what can we expect from this.
(without the "going to the moon" posts type)
The price went from $7200 to $7700 in 15 minutes and then 15 minutes later back to $7100, what's going on?

[mindrust]

Lol it is real. They have stepped back.

Bitcoin didn't die 484859th time. How surprising. ;d

[Cazemiro]

We can breathe!! tanks for the fantastic news.

[Voice-Of-Reason]

long live bitcoin!

Lots of action on every front now!

[klaaas]

Good to read this.

Survived again ! ; )

I wouldn't prefer that although this spike is a sign of confidence, i.e. nobody wanted the 2x garbage.

Im sure they knew they would cancel it a couple of days ago and already low key bought the dip to deliver the news now. Well, at least they did (were forced to) do the right thing.

They are trying to avoid as much humiliation as possible.

Now the best part is, the community will united once again and we can finally focus on working towards improving Bitcoin and help Bitcoin scale over time.

Next stops: Signature aggregation and MAST.

I think that it's becoming quite obvious that consensus is also important to be drawn from core Bitcoin developers.  No "agreement" would get far without support from those that are already standing behind the development of bitcoin.

1) They are the de-facto standard behind Bitcoin.
2) They are almost always right vs. other "developers" (see Hearn, Gavin, Garzik, Zander).
3) They are cypherpunks and immensely value decentralization, unlike the greedy CEOs that aren't much smarter than your everyday stray.
4) A lot of people support them due to these values, especially the 3rd ones.

Therefore, consensus without them is almost impossible as the community does not want something else.

THANKS MEN FOR THE INFORMATION

[Taras]

I wonder if anyone will still go through with the fork, even if it's just one miner. They'd probably lose loads of money if they even get a single block.

edit: What do you think is going to happen to the B2X futures? Down to 0? The B2X tokens will probably be stuck forever with no blocks being made.

[foxberg]

So happy to read this. Huge weight off my shoulders. Long live BTC

[Youngsta]

great news!!!btc will hit 8000 soon

[iram1011]

I am glad they took decision sincerely. Bitcoin is experiencing bullish run recently and bringing a fork without major consensus would have disrupted the growth and bitcoin market which is getting global attention right now.

Now altcoins will grow as well along with Bitcoin. Money will flow among altcoins too and the long period of alts bloodshed will come to an end.

On the whole a best news for whole crypto market!

[jlanzago]

I also think this is fantastic news for Bitcoin, long live. I think there have been too many hard forks already and I call them opportunistic, such as Bitcoin Gold. The community needs to keep Bitcoin strong.

[GryphoCry]

Price will rise to 8k at the end of the day lol

Failure of segwit is the best move. Thanks for the information lauda.
Your doubt is one side correct because no one will do dramatic without any effect behind that.
There should be some tricky behind it also towards it.
Next move in bitcoin will be updation in blockchain tech or financial adoption by anyone.

[Paul stuart]

Price will rise to 8k at the end of the day lol

99.9% sure lol
