Topic: after the denial of the ETF , what will be the next hype train to jump onboard? (Read 2137 times)

This is not good at all that BU had bugs and is unfit. BItcoin needs to scale. So the only option is to active Segwit or we will go down a lot.

I think the next battle is going to be segwit vs BU, it seems the debate is getting hotter by what I see in the forum and since no solution is close to get the support needed then that will only spark more debate as time passes.

We are already seeing a steady increase and quick recovery. The demand seems to pick up even more, and the market cap of $20B could be just a thing of the past a few months from now. If only things could be worked out to lessen transaction fees and at the same time transactions made faster, the train will not stop at $2000 this year.

there is still a lot more hashrate needed for that. and it is going to take a very long time to get there.

but i agree that when this block size debate is finally behind us and some time passes we will see a huge price rise because it is one of the things keeping bitcoin and also its adoption back and on top of that things like this are always considered good news and can cause FOMO leading to a bigger rise.

I sure hope so because when I had 0.0165btc sent to a wallet who calculates its own amount of the tx fee to send. I had started with $20.25 to begin with (it shows the amount in USD) then after I sent it out from this wallet it ended up sending $19.63 in total taking off 0.0005btc for their transaction fee they refer to as the fee that those miner's charge to send out the transaction that they get none of.
So that is $0.62 in fees alone.
That is a huge amount to charge and I know it is all relevant to the current price of what bitcoin is but still.
I remember when it was $0.14-0.16 for this exact same amount just a few months ago at the end of last year.
What happened all the sudden?
If you had this happen to you then you might start to agree that something like BitcoinUnlimited needs to start being looked at because the miner's on the blockchain are able to charge what ever they like even for those wallets that allow you to modify that fee before sending there is still a limit before they don't allow it to be sent.
And that to me is a monopoly and they know this to be true so they will keep raising those fees cause they know they don't have any competition that is being taken seriously.
Starting to look into BU a like more now as an alternative to having to use the blockchain for my bitcoin transactions all the sudden after this noticable failure with the way things work as they stand now.

Bitcoin Unlimited will execute a proper and successful protocol upgrade with super consensus. TX fees will go down dramatically, Bitcoin scales to meet the demand. Value goes up a lot because value actually went down when the block size debate started. When it ends the value will recover.

Hard to say what the next hype would be, but the entire ETF hype seems to be over even when there are some upcoming ETFs. All of the upcoming ETFs have a high chance to get rejected as well. So, bitcoin can see a gradual appreciation on steady user base growth and even some hype with any economic data or news that are coming up.

This train is just getting started.  A small percentage of the world has even heard of Bitcoin.  A small percentage of them have read the whitepaper and understood its implications.

All I'm saying is if Bitcoin itself isn't exciting enough for you and you need to look for some other source of hype than maybe this isn't the market for you.  TSLA is a good market to ride the hype-train.  If you do want to stick around, learn all you can about bitcoin until you realize that it is an unstoppable juggernaut that will provide people living in places with high inflation a way to preserve value over time.  It will do this in a way that can't be regulated or censored.  That is the real value of Bitcoin.

But this train already passed as we know this but bitcoin is the king of this world surely will survive.

Next hype train: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

are there any interresting sources to get a hold on blockchain technology and projects revolving arround them ?

Pick your poison :

Kim Dotcom's Megaupload 2.0 file-sharing service running on micropayments. 

or

http://www.augmentorsgame.com/ - The Killer App/Game we are all waiting for.. 

There are so many exiting projects being developed for Bitcoin now, it is just crazy ... We are also seeing a lot of projects based on the Blockchain

and not just using the currency token. 

Well; it didnt burst slowly lol 3 min was enough. I took a piss and bitcoin was worth 200$ less lol

In other words, they didn't like bitcoin for being a decentralized currency. Bitcoin is out of their reach and they didn't like it. If you think a little bit harder, that decision means nothing. (both sides by the way: yes/no) If the answer was "yes" than it would have created only another fake pump. Now we know the answer is "no", the hype bubble is going to burst slowly, till there is another.

It is rejected not because it is associated with scam or money laundering, it is because it cannot be regulated. If it cannot be regulated, they cannot protect the investors. That is why, all other ETF in the future will also fail unless they change the nature of bitcoin.

After ETF, next one along the tracks is the WTF Bitcoin?! moon train.

Satoshi is the creator and they want to tell you it was from Japan with that name so it is already hyped in Japan.
If another few exchanges open up there and have a clause endorsed to guarantee not ever to be able to lock customer's funds into those exchanges. Then it will be theirs for the taking over from China's monopoly on bitcoin's exchange and possible mining market from then on in.
They will invest as much if not more than China had into those techonologies and infrastructures to get it off the ground in their favor and not just hope for fortune to happen to veer their way like China had in the past 8 years.

Hahahaha that was rough. Also, their fund was made of bitcoins so.... I don't really see how it was them screwing up. I guess it could have been presented differently but it still would have been the same decision because they aren't regulated. That's what the SEC wanted to see.

Also, China isn't an event rofl. What the fuck?


That's clearly not real gold rofl. It's all Canadian quarters dimes and nickels and pennies that someone happened to tint gold. Try again!!

no civilization without internet or electricity
open an humanity history book (electricity is about 100 years, internet 20 years, gold 5000 years)

History doesn't say so.  Check out what happened in the time period where wwI and wwII happened. Gold is the only viable currency in such scenario. People burned their fiat just to get warm. Bitcoin will be literally worthless in a world war. Because you won't able to access internet. Luckily, gold is an offline currency. And more importantly, they are shiny. Everybody likes shiny things. Ask Gollum. He knows the best.
