Maybe the SW/BU Bitcoin Civil War is starting to have a negative effect.
1. 182,000 unconfirmed transactions (highest I have ever seen in my casual monitoring at: https://blockchain.info/new-transactions)
2. BTC down over $100 in one day.
I sure wish the Miner Wankers and the Developer Wankers would get together and SOLVE the scaling problem(s). Else they may damage the Bitcoin Ecosystem and discourage newbies from joining the community.
BTC to $5000 if/when they resolve all of this (credit to jonald_fyookball for that prediction, and I would agree with that number).
No, bitcoin has been and is happening civil war, however, it is not a civil war between SW and BU (BU is not entirely qualified to be mentioned here). This is a Civil War that holds BTC CORE and SEGWIT. It's ridiculous to say that btc dropped more than $ 100 a day, before talking about it, it grew faster, it spiked in a short time, so its value was reduced by Completely normal. Also, I am sure the bitcoin can not reach the $ 5000 value over the next 2 years.
Thank you for clearing up the players (my highlighting in your comment).
Yes, I do understand you (and others) about BTC volatility (although price at ounce.me shows it down a majestic $180 now). I am not whining about that, as I too did participate in the upward price spike.
My comment re price going WAY down is that OTHERS (new people, prospective BTC players) may get scared off because of the decline AS WELL AS the Silly Civil War. And, yes, I have seen other BTC Civil Wars since I joined up, although this one seems the worst that I have observed.
