The drama may be over for now, but I highly doubt this will be the last we see of it. Anyway, at least now we can look forward the the holidays without also having to worry about what happens with Bitcoin.

Dont know why so much bully comments for btc?

When i understand right, btc will drop, as a lot of guys hoped for getting a new coin for free for making huge profits, now a lot of money should get into alts like the past few hours? this trend will stay, when chinese wake up, they will flood alts too i think so? and mistake on my thoughts? I think there is some money which will be switched into fiat, a lot of money for alts and big (short time) losses, before the so called "big fishes" will buy btc the next few month

Yeah it's weird, people don't like it when you talk down their favourite coin, but they could just buy alts too, nothing's stopping them.

Obviously BTC will drop some and big alts will surge, a child could see it coming.

Just wondering how much money will be switched into fiat and how much the gains from good old alts like eth, dash, and so on will be.. any case thinking about trading bulling alts / bearing btc

Well Dash, Litecoin and Monero were less than half their recent prices, for two reasons:

1) They were dipping anyway.

2) Money left alts to get 2 possible Bitcoin fork coins.

I would expect Dash to be around 0.08-0.09 within 3-6 weeks, Monero 0.03, LTC to be 0.016-0.018. Eth is tricky because of problems and infinite supply.

This is all guesswork but an educated guess. No-one knows the future but I do trade for living, so make of this what you will.

I wouldn't trade BTC for fiat, I'd trade it for alts, BTC will take a correction but it will come back strong. Just increase your BTC amount by buying alts then trading back to btc later.

I agree with you, but compared with fiat, they have not lost so much, so although they lost calculated in btc, we are on a very high level also for alts, so it could happen that some "big player", or a lot of small player realize their profits and you will lose (for a short time) money, even alts will gain related to btc, thats a bit my fear.. nevertheless i think its more likely, that good alts will win a lot (in btc and in fiat), as there should come some big correction on btc chart and money has to be switched and not all members will switch into fiat, so there should be at least 10mrd usd for alts in near future according to my thoughts

They've still lost quite a lot in USD though. Yes short-term everything might dip (or at least not move up much) in USD, but when bitcoin comes back up you'll have twice as much BTC, this is the best play IMO, if you switch to fiat the whole market might leave you behind if you don't time it right, but everyone must do what they feel is best.

This has been a process with way too many ups and downs. I hope they take the time to think these things through before proposing yet another hard fork. Stop the madness. Good to know this one is off.

Just another failed attack on anti-fragile Bitcoin, furthering it's resilience and robustness.

Segwit2x is dead, long live Bitcoin!

I am glad they called it off. Have you read this article on CoinDesk?

Who next?

Honestly, it's a bit disappointing that none of these actually got to the point of a miner-backed attack, since they would've lost, and that would've once-and-for-all put an end to the "miners control Bitcoin" narrative. Oh well.

A lot of companies showed their true colors here. Some stuck their necks out in the right direction and deserve recognition. And some were clearly working against Bitcoin, to varying degrees. We should make a comprehensive list at some point.

To everyone who helped fight against S2X in any way: thank you for defending Bitcoin!

Ditto!

To everyone who helped fight against S2X in any way: thank you for defending Bitcoin! While I have little doubt that these companies will try something again, I think that the community is progressively getting "immunized" to these attacks, and the attackers need more and more resources to put up the same fight. Hopefully this one will be the last really dangerous one for a while. We must always remain vigilant, however.

Stephen Pair trying to save face here: https://medium.com/@spair/segwit2x-should-be-canceled-b7399c767d34. I've updated the OP to mention this and will list the supporters of this attempted and failed takeover of Bitcoin. #NeverForget.

Long live anarchy.
Side note 1: Whoever thinks that alts have any value pre or post this withdrawal is delusional. You're playing right in their hands while they leech profits from you. Smiley

These are some reasonable words and glad that they decided to keep the community together (although Segwit2x most likely would not have got too much support).

The market reaction is positive, Bitcoin jumped to an all time high before the money is transferred back to all the altcoins, which suffered in all these weeks, 5-50% increase in a few hours, time to invest.

Could it be this 'suspension' is somehow connected to launching of Bitcoin futures by CME Group?

Sounds right, alts were suffering because everybody were selling them to buy BTC for free forked coins. Now the status quo has changed, so there's no need to buy BTC in a hurry anymore. We will see on the alts if people were buyin BTC mainly for the airdrop (short term investment) or because of the technology (long term investment). I have no idea, so I'll sit back and wait for the dust to settle...

It was a huge news .
but still there are lots of confusion in the market.
Some people are saying it will still happen on that date without support.
lots of exchanges still have open future market of it.


Not really confusion, just retards who bought the pre-launch (lol who does that?) and are now lying their ass off so they can dump it to even bigger 'tards.

Haha, you probably dont even imagine how many of them. Just go throw the comments. Smiley
