I wonder why hasn't Roger Ver and the company - ViaBTC, Antpool, Bitmain, rolled out BCH trading pairs earlier?
It's easily understood why the BCH trading pairs include only PoW chains that are actively mined by Bitmain. However, I expect BCH pairs to add liquidity and drive down the intraday volatility. It's a good decision for the entire market.
Bitcoin indeed has a lot of pending transactions now, because:
1. Holders look to fix USD profits, sending their BTC to exchanges. That generates a huge amount of transactions.
2. Payment processors and exchange administrators are not eager enough to implement Layer 2 scaling solutions (see Segwit transaction rate), even they endorsed scaling upgrades.
Many in this thread would love to see again the Nov 12 scenario - "the flippening". This time it won't pass - neither the FUD level, nor the market sentiment support it.
PS:
"fururists" should consult the spelling dictionary before drawing the next poster.
