Bitcoin is predominant at the moment and for all cryptos to survive long term then Bitcoin must continue to flourish until this is all mainstream. We will not get respect from the mainstream media and governments (and ultimately we will need that) if the fiasco that took place last weekend happens again. Yes in time Bitcoin might be taken over if a more suitable and popular alt proves to win out. This win however must be by popular consensus of the users of the crypto currencies and not through manipulation of certain individuals for their own benefit at the expense of the masses. Yes Facebook did take over from MySpace but it was the users who made this decision and it was a natural growth not a coup.

It is really shameful to see such people in the crypto world too who try to manipulate the coins by their influence just to grab others' hard earned money. Bitcoin is such a fantastic currency and it has the ability to multi-sector problems but instead of using it or enhancing it's ability people want to own it, manipulate it and play with it with their politics. It is really shameful for us as there will be more people now in the list who will be against its abilities and will be criticizing it for its faults. If this stops now then there are good chances for BTC to flourish but if it keeps going on like this then I must say the future of BTC is in trouble.

Mostly, I agree.
We can not predict the future of bitcoins because of what just happened. We all experienced one terrible thing of manipulation of bitcoin price.
But in contrast, at the end of the day, users are also to blame. They were greedy enough to leave bitcoin behind. I don't know if they knew they were the one helping a scammer or a bad person to bury themselves alive. 
They shift without basis. Frankly they don't deserve bitcoins.
But since all is clear. Let's just be careful next time. Don't trust a false statement.

At the moment there is a big confusion among bitcoin usres, especialy those who don't have much experience. It sems like someone wants to start some kind of war between bitcoin supporters and bitcoin cash supporters. I don't understand how easily some people buy stories about bitcoin being dead and that bitcoin cash is the true coin who is going to replace it. All this deosn't make much sense to me and I hope bitcoin supporters will prevale and everything will be back to normal.

i think the BCH price surge is more likely over since price continues to crash as the holders selling their bitcoin cash the reason of BCH price surge due to the supporters of segwit2x were moving to bitcoin cash just to support the big blocks so, it will be a short lived surge since many of us were holding bitcoin cash and already sold it.

There is obviously a lot of chatter about BCH. FUDders are trying to mislead People into thinking that BCH could take over from BTC. Anyone who believes this even in the slightest needs to remember that this event will completely nuke the entire crypto market. It will set ALL of us back 8 years.

It's not good for anyone involved in cryptocurrencies if a miner-controlled, de facto centralized cloned currency threatens THE cryptocurrency with seemingly impregnable reputation established through 8 years of hard toil within a matter of days through artificial pumping.

What this would mean is that banks, governments, media and the so called financial experts were all right all the way along that cryptocurrencies are unreliable and it's just a classic economic bubble that could burst in an instant. After the recent mainstream attention on Bitcoin, any attack on Bitcoin to destabilize it is a death sentence for all cryptocurrencies and that includes all Bitcoin clones. Anyone who is blindly following along is pretty damn dumb and will end up falling on their ass. It's downright suicide.
well indeed since bitcoin is gone mainstream, many people are now on eyes on bitcoin so, any attack like big block supporters did on segwit2x will affect on altcoins and especially bitcoin itself so, in the end nobody will win but these 2 candidates it's either ethereum or bitcoin cash since bitcoin cash had garnered some attention since the price surge

BTC, even if just for the fees, is currently unusable in small amounts. You might say it should have its place with bigger transactions, but why even pick it for that when an alternative can do both large and small better? I know things may change in the future, but that's what it is now.

I've moved to coins other than these 2 for the time being.


we don’t have to worry about these artificial pumping of the coins.


All coins were pumped from nothing. Am I missing something?

But what about those millions who still believe in the bitcoin and not the bitcoin cash. The drama like this will repeat itself many times and people like you or me are there to think that bitcoin is still safe then we don’t have to worry about these artificial pumping of the coins. If we are bale to predict this then I’m sure rest of the community will do that in first glance. There are really very less supporter of this coins and I’m sure they were expecting the pump to go to as Hugh as 5K today or tomorrow but unfortunately the thing collapsed on their foot and now they are damaged like anything. People are here to gran the profits from the alt coin and BCH is another alt coin so just get this clear people went there to just grab the profits and nothing else. So I believe we are completely safe here to play the act.

it has already set us back a couple of years. the 150K+ unconfirmed transactions, slow blocks and high fees are all damages that bitcoin is talking. and the longer things stay like this, the less reliable bitcoin will become as a currency. and in the end nobody is a winner here except the altcoins.
for now their win is them getting pumped during these fights. but if they continue like this, it opens up a lot of room for an altcoin to swoop in and put an end to all the nonsense. most probably a decentralized one not the top 10 which are heavily centralized.
