Topic: [ANN] Bitcoin Cash - Pro on-chain scaling - Cheaper fees - page 364. (Read 704578 times)

BTC is approaching 20k mark.
If it can stand steadily at that price, more growth is predictable.

I am more concerned about the backdoor most recent Antminers have.
I also discard the possibility of a Bitcoin Cash 51% attack (no interest of the founding party to hurt the business), still can imagine an attempt to attack the Bitcoin chain - pools affiliated to Bitmain have 48-55% of total hashrate on average.
If the Antbleed backdoor is activated, Bitmain can switch off selectively a large portion of the SHA256D network and the online miners will have leverage to perform a 51% attack.

BTC is 10 times more expensive than BCH and is pumped like crazy, so apparently the price isn't that important for pumpers 
Since BTC's utility is now degraded, its survival seems to depend solely on high price and high fees which keep attracting miners.

More than a contender for the name since only coin with the function that is behind the name.  And similarly core coin should not have the word in even the same sentence since it is material misrepresentation, misleading and therefore fraudulent in nature because it is in name only.

In this talk, Andreas explores the confusion and instinctive disbelief from newcomers about how open, decentralized cryptocurrencies can scale and grow in value without the finality of approval from authorities.


old skool andreas, excellent speech.

1. I consider BCH a legitimate contender for the bitcoin name. I consider bitcoin's *failure* to raise block sizes to keep fees reasonable to be a large (non-consensual) change to the "original plan", morally tantamount to a hard fork.
2. Theymos's censorship.

Mr VB knows exactly whats going on, hes spot on for both points.
thanks bro ,

Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin, not IFO. I am not Bitcoin Cash created, just one of many big block supporters.

My prediction: After January 2018, BTC will seldom be used for commerce and most will adopt BCH or other cryptos.

It's true!!!
Check out this block! 2MB, 1096 txs!!
And someone moved $45 Million dollars for a fee of less than a penny.

it seems you are right. so the best way is just hold BCH for long.

usual whale games, supress the gd coin, (shake out the weak at low prices)...pump a few other coins(lure in the weak at high prices)
then....BAM...other coins dump and all the profits go into buy cheap BCH 

BCH is undervalued a lot right now.

Other way around

BCH is about to...

Yes, there is the capability of doing a 51% attack on Bitcoin Cash with the current available hash for SHA-256D. However, the person most likely to be able to pull that off at the moment is Jihan Wu. Since he is a big supporter of Bitcoin Cash, there is probably a bigger chance that I will win the jackpot on Powerball 52 times in a row.

I have never understood the Bitcoin community pointing fingers to other projects about how centralized they are, while they are centralized themselves. The proof is the claim that miners attacked Bitcoin during the Bitcoin Cash pump a few weeks ago. If Bitcoin truely was decentralized than miners could not have slowed down the network by moving over to Bitcoin Cash. When Ethereum was having problems of slow transactions during high volume transactions, they were also the first to point that out and laugh at Ethereum. However, Ethereum solved the issue pretty fast and are having way more transactions than Bitcoin at the moment at 100 times lower fees. But Bitcoin has not resolved these issues and issues only have become worse but they will never talk about that. Looks like they only see a real problem when other projects are struggling with something. When their own project is struggling then they don't care about. The only argument being: look at the price. Well, the Bitcoin price is clearly too high for what the network is really worth at the moment. The price is only supported by a bunch of idiots understanding nothing of crypto and throwing all their life savings into it. From a technological point of view Bitcoin is probably not even the best coin in the current top10.

BCH price is about 10% of BTC, I hope soon to match BTC and marketcap immediately reach number 2 after BTC.

I have a question on Bitcoin cash.
Bitcoin has good amount of hash rate what if some of them planned a 51% attack on Bitcoin cash? What would happen to Bitcoin cash? Is this some of kind of a serious issue to worry about. I'm thinking this might be serious but interested to know what some experts say.
