This is the natural progression that BTC will have to go through to grow. Its the way it was designed.

And ETH and DASH and all the other crap would be so lucky if they had to deal with this one day. This being an issue for Bitcoin is a sign of success.

HODL! Who ever thought this shit would be easy?

too many people here treat it like a computer program when they're theorising but in reality the money thing comes first by a country mile. the most important thing with money is faith, even more so with something that's backed only by mutual agreement.

disagreement is there but it's on the fringes while the actual subject hums along just fine. if that disagreement actually screws with the day to day operation of all this then i don't think there's any coming back from it.

Yep, either way you and I agree that bitcoins are money (a few other people here agree it seems) so there will always be value. The only risk is that the value is higher or lower.

A fork wouldn't be the end of the world so I'm not sure why people think it's such a big deal that they need to sell bitcoins.

Good time to do some trading imo, not necessarily holding.

But yeah, long term bitcoin is still bullish for me.

Do people ever suggest anything but hold?

Here is an alternate idea, Bitcoin forks, we all have some new Bitcoin unlimited and some Bitcoin core. It gets that bit more complicated for everyone to use and understand. People who didn't want to have alts now do have and alt.

Trust in Bitcoin is lost as once it forks once, it could again, and again. People decide that it is safer to cash out. The price of both Bitcoins fall and everyone is a loser. As BU exists segwit isn't needed, so we have one massive blockchain and one smaller very limited one. It will hardly draw in new users will it!

When someone decides to try out Bitcoin in the future they will be asked if they want BU or core. They will ask what the difference is and why there are two, get bored and leave it alone. I wouldn't blame them either.

This could happen, but people wondering that it could happen in the future would those that provoqued the hardfork, since people not supporting the secession are still on the main chain and do not have to wonder what is happening to Bitcoin Unlimited fools.

Oh well, we always knew that bitcoin can fork again and again and again! Or did we? Wink

As much as it does hurt now, I do think this is best for Bitcoin long term. The two sides are too far apart on scaling. Consensus will not happen and it will fork it seems.

Now here's the good news. We will be issued coins of the forked off chain as well. So you can hold both and see which one wins out.

Now with the BU people gone from the current chain, segwit and lightning will go through with ease and BU will have their bigger blocks and faster transaction times. We will see which one people gravitate to and that chain will win and become stronger than ever.
