-- The Riddle of the Twin Brothers - Who Were, Are and Will Rule the World!

[Gleb Gamow]

Wait, what! My theory isn't included? --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Harris_Simons

James Harris "Jim" Simons founded Renaissance Technologies & Robert Mercer is the co-C.E.O. of Renaissance Technologies “Renaissance is the commercial version of the Manhattan Project”


Large number of big-name investors have pumped money into this company, including the founder of Renaissance Technologies https://www.wired.com/2016/12/7500-faceless-coders-paid-bitcoin-built-hedge-funds-brain/

Nice find, bud.

Nobody knows the future,not even Vlad. BTC Segwit could go to the moon or trash just like BTC cash.

Look at the price of alts now!
China just banned ICOs and everyone goes crazy dumping their coins.
Is this the end of ICOs?

The end? no.
It is a temporarily huge fall, but not the end.

China banned bitcoin before and now is regulated there. The same will happen with ICO's.

[HardFireMiner]

Sooner or later, without a legit company with legit assets that can back up the clients investment there will be no ICO.

Right now, ICO = scammy distribution model, not fair, not decentralized, not honest, against most of the principles that brought us together here.

Lets get back to the conspiracy stuff...

The fork is needed because otherwise some people won't be able to use Bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't for everybody. Creating something useful that everyone can use is an exercise in trying to create something that's useful but worthless. Such a thing may exist, in the sense perpetuum mobile may exist. As far as the science of physics goes, they do not.

Should blocks ever become full, older coinbases will be prioritized over newer coinbases, and larger mining fees and transactions prioritized over smaller mining fees and smaller transactions. This means that someone who wishes to pay for very little with Bitcoin will be forced to use something else, so to speak is forced to "give his seat" to someone richer. This is exactly the point and the intent of Bitcoin : to force the poor to yield to the rich, unversally, as a matter of course.

Do you think BCC is going to be the real BTC then, even though it is forking? Is Craig Wright going to support Bitcoin Cash or another fork down the line?

Neither BCC nor any clone of Bitcoin can be the “Real Bitcoin” as so defined. Craig Wright in his desire to reject SegWit is a supporter of the real Bitcoin, but if he tries to fork the block size then he is basically writing free options.



Bitcoin probably already has a lock on the intrinsic value of a reserve currency for cryptocurrencies, and the medium-of-exchange to/from fiat. Thus I argue the worst outcome is to fork Bitcoin in August destroying the immutability which insures a 21 million coin limit (and I think all Bitcoin forks will fail because whales will protect the intrinsic value of Bitcoin).

I realize it is unsatisfying to Bitcoin fans if Bitcoin will not scale, but Bitcoin does not need to scale as it can be the on/off ramp to fiat and BTC saving for the altcoin that provides scaling,. Since there will likely be many such competing altcoins, then BTC remains the common denominator for investing in the crypto sector, i.e. the reserve currency of cryptocurrency.


Even if Bitcoin was forked to add some weak ass non-scaling lie, it will still never be that cryptocurrency that provides the breakthrough I am alluding to above. For that, we need competition and experimentation amongst altcoins (not forking the BTC unit into chaotic confusion). Thus we need a stable reserve cryptocurrency and that is Bitcoin. We have it, so no benefit in destroying it whilst trying to make it be something it can not be. Transaction fees will go up on-chain, so eventually those who can not afford have to move to an exchange or an altcoin. That drives a market need for altcoins to compete for the best solution.



The minnows are entirely worthless and insignificant. As usual, the sheep are pushed out on to the regulated farm so they can be harvested for economic parasitism by the shadow elite.

No i disagree, ICOs will never be gone, even if the majority will go away new ones will come. So don't worry

The problem with ICO's is that eventually only one currency will rule them all.  So they can't keep coming unless they morph into something like shares of a corporation. 

Once this crypto war is over the winner (the real Bitcoin) will completely take over and then your only other chance will be an alt which will be used as a sidechain.  I would focus on the older coins as the best chances for a sidechain winner, like IX or I0. 

As for the "real" Bitcoin that will emerge from this war and run past $500k...

This is indeed genius - promoting/selling your favorite coin on uncertainty, fear and possible worst case scenarios. Well done, Vlad2Vlad,  seriously, no pun intended.

Wow! That model would go hand-in-hand with my model of a new coin that I just penned on another thread:

Here's a new model to consider: Sell a newly created PoS crypto by the gram where you'll earn X%/day; for a higher return, purchase by the ounce; ... don't get ahead of me ... ; likewise, by the pound for an even greater return; and for whale investors, they'll purchase by the kilo, with the richest whale purchasing by the planeload (different plane than used for the airdrop of new coinage).

Some dood said this not so long back but cant remember who,when or where.Does it make any sense to you highly intelligent specimens?

  

TRB now WILL accept segwit blocks, but it will not parse the segwit'd portion as anything other than "anyone can spend"

As I gave specific instructions like 2 months ago, Segwit on BTC will get exploited and people are gonna lose their coins.  Simple math.  Simple logic.  Yet somehow everyone avoids the truth.  

Then I step in.

See that?!?!

If SegWit was easily exploitable, I am pretty sure that it already would be exploited as it has been operating for multiple days now. I think it is amazing that the fees have decreased so much so fast because of SegWit. It is like Bitcoin has been reborn.

I like that.

And there is lots of noise right now distracting 99% of the game participants.  Then they'll whine about why aren't they the 1%.
