Well for me I know every thing in life have a difficult time, now bitcoin is facing it's own difficult time. I will regain it strength and the price will raise up and even go across what the price have ever reach before now. I don't have to lose my confident in bitcoin, because I believe that the price of bitcoin will raise up again

I see a lot of people saying this will correct and the currency will return to 'normal'

What is the 'normal' it will return to? Will transaction wait times go back to one block? Will fees shrink or ever go back to being able to transact feeless?

Will this currency ever be used like a currency again? Will I ever be able to make microtransactions? Will I ever be able to send transactions with many small inputs? Will I ever be able to buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin? What's the point of this "currency" any more?

People are seriously comparing btc transactions to Western Union now saying that $10 fees aren't that bad. This is not the bitcoin world I came to circa 2012.

It is not possible to loose faith in something which you have been worshipping till couple of days ago. A series of events made a sudden change in the current but this does not mean that everything is lost. People who believe in the project will still push behind and lead even in difficult moment. It is in difficult moment that support is much needed.

Why is there always such panic? We are just having another correction caused by the cancellation of the SegWit2x hardfork. It is just a matter of time before everything gets back to normal. We have 180k unconfirmed transactions. Don't you think it is suspicious that it happens right after some group claimed that they have 30% of the hashrate? Bitcoin hashrate dropped almost by 50%.

I would normally agree - we've seen a decent sized correction - we're back to values from only 30 +/- days ago.

HOWEVER - what scares me is the sudden and seemingly organized movement of the hashing power from one coin to another.

Price correction is not the same as major miner migration.

People need to stop reacting to individual events.  If these activities continue for several weeks then I may begin to worry, but right now this is a small blip in the history of bitcoin.

Bitcoin Cash has very wealthy entities to back up its market, and pump it if needed. People however are delusional enough to do the pumping for them, and thus allowing large BCC holders to dump their stash on frightened chickens thinking BTC is losing it. Anyone thinking that BCC has even a slight chance of succeeding is nothing more than a fool. BCC is an obsolete shitcoin that came into existence due to the greed of a few malicious entities. Basically ANY altcoin nowadays has more to offer than BCC, but yet people fail to see that due to their greed and fear.

Who else is losing faith in BTC? I use to believe that BTC would change the world. What I just witnessed last night with BCH attempting to take over just shook my entire belief in BTC and crypto currency in general. It feels pretty obvious to me that BTC is the best thing ever and BCH is built upon greed, but I'm not entirely confident that either will win in the end anymore.

Anything that rises and falls that quickly is a pump-and-dump. Frankly, I think it's embarrassing that the #2 cryptocurrency by market cap could rise like that on thin liquidity and drop 50% in value in less than an hour. It traded like an altcoin -- completely manipulated.

And remember, that spike at the top was probably due to Roger Ver. He moved at least 25k coins to Bitfinex which were publicly identified from voting on Bitcoin.com. That kind of pumping of BCH and dumping of BTC is not sustainable.

Time will tell, but we need to let the market do it's thing.

I have lost some faith in bitcoin, but it does not mean that i will move all my funds to bitcoin cash or just to another crypto because of this whole panic in the forum.
I have made a profit of about 0.50 because of bitcoin cash. I was trading with btc/bch in the last night, and it was very profitable because i could make some profit when it was $1300 and suddenly it touched $1900, so i was lucky i guess.
But i am not going to move all my funds in there, i still trust in bitcoin and i know that it has a lot of potential to keep going up.

Who else is losing faith in BTC? I use to believe that BTC would change the world. What I just witnessed last night with BCH attempting to take over just shook my entire belief in BTC and crypto currency in general. It feels pretty obvious to me that BTC is the best thing ever and BCH is built upon greed, but I'm not entirely confident that either will win in the end anymore.

The huge boost in BCH overnight makes me wonder if anything in the crypto world is legit. Seems like everything is based upon greed. All the figure heads that are suppose to support BTC started being like "oh yeah, BCH is the new bitcoin now guys". John Mccafee (yup, the guy who said he'd eat his own dick on TV if BTC doesn't make it to $500,000 by 2020) is all like BCH is the solution blah blah blah. I figured okay, people are getting paid off to say stuff like this, he's a miner after all so he's looking for money. But then I started reading the core developer's tweets. They either don't talk about BCH, but even some of them were talking about BCH taking over.

I get that pump and dumps are going to happen, but when developers are switching to BCH this means either two things. One, BCH will become the new BTC. Two, developers are greedy and care about making money than BTC.

Another part of me wonders whether this was a pump and dump or not. Perhaps BCH really is better now.


Decentralization, limited supply, medium of exchange, store of value. These words are thrown around a lot when describing BTC, but it just seems to me that people really care only about money. When the developers are like this, that is means for worry. This means people will make changes to BTC strictly for hype to make money, even if it actually hurts the security of the coin.

The only figure head in the crypto world that I feel is trustworthy is the creator of LTC. My reasons are this:
1) He hasn't pumped the crap out of Litecoin with false propaganda
2) He was awkward on TV when talking about Litecoin
3) Intuitively seems more genuine

Last night has left me depressed all day today. I'm very bothered by this. I feel like if I go with BCH I lose. If I go with BTC I lose. I feel like BTC is the good guy and BCH is the evil guy. However, BCH might win in the end. I see possible +EV with BCH though. So last night I caved guys. I caved. I feel sad but I did. I bought BCH which I thought I would never do (I didn't sell most of my BTC, It is like a hedge I suppose). Just seems like the +EV thing to do. Couldn't figure out if it was a pump/dump or a takeover so went with my limited knowledge.

If BCH makes it to $3,000ish I will dump some of my BCH for BTC again.

I'm distraught guys and not in a good way either. I kind of feel like I might be getting played, but I might be making the right decision.
