This^ I can't express this enough, no matter what I do usually ends up working against me, while I don't particularly believe in BCH I have just the tiny amount I got with BTC and even less BTC at just over half of that. While I'd love to sell it to try to make it up to my first BTC I afraid that no matter I pick it'll be wrong. :|

I really doubt that, especially if it is not economically viable. His small group of loyalists buying their own forked coin is like corporations erroneously buying back their own stock. It gives a wealth effect for a while, up until the moment it all falls to shit and crashes. Can't hold that stock (er, coin) price up forever.  

As those shitty forks languish, Wu and company will eventually abandon them to die. Or pump them on occasion, the ol' "hey look at me, I'm not dead yet!" factor.

Why are you horse betting? It's easy dude. Just follow the chain with the economic majority of END USERS, BROKERS, EXCHANGES, and MERCHANTS. Miners and hashrate follow those things, not the other way around.

I personally have a coinsbank card. I use BTC and LTC that are exchanged at the time of buying.
I find it pretty good: I don't keep much on it and I am not verified.
I did many small txs for a few $ and € (I have a dollar denominated card and a euro one)

I understand what you mean.
Satoshi Nakamoto did the right thing when he disappeared from the scene back in 2010.
But, in any case, this bitcoin thing is out there in the open and it can't be stopped.
Don't be too pessimistic even though I know you are being realist.
 

BTC is not exactly cheap and quick to send at the moment either. For a transaction with some inputs (976 bytes) Electrum suggested a whopping 0,0047BTC fee !

I'm curious about this too. Was considering BitPay card until that whole btc1 debacle.

Talking of which...


Does anyone here use any of the Bitcoin debitcards that you can load with BTC and spend your BTC anywhere?

I want to get me one and any recommendations/warning etc would be appreciated.

The more private the better

.... be good to see more of the ecosystem follow Bitwala's  example

I probably should do the same ...but my view (or bad karma) leads me to believe that IF bitcoin core continues NOT to accept the 2mb hard fork on seg witness 2
and sticks to that

then

Bitmain's Jihan Wu will follow thru and fork his (what is it 30% of hash) to bitcoin cash...and we will have 3 forks split like 50/20/30 or something odd...

thus it will be a cluster...and I have a real talent for picking the wrong horse in any race

so, just gonna leave the BCH alone for now...treating it as a remote insurance policy

There is NOTHING that I can tell to make anyone act in an ADULT manner on all this stuff...so imho IF we have 3 forks and IF the 2 hardforks don't cause any problems

then the miners will float towards the 2 hardfork and block size increase options.... for the improved profits...of mining those chains and abandon seg witness as not needed

NOT saying this will happen...but am saying..that is the reason that a lot of BCH has NOT been dumped yet by me or others (again in imho)

I just see this as likely to cluster into 3 forks ...and again my horse picking skills in any race...really, really, suck..and I never discount miner greed to screw everyone in this

So I pass this on to others here to convince me otherwise my fears are valid or not....I've no clue...just my present stance on BCH

AT worse the money I could have made will go back to unicorn status and we will have ONE segwit2 2mb fork as 'supposedly' people have picked

Waiting for SegWit and HF drama to finally solve like...

Holding has worked well since genesis block. To be fair though long term investing generally works out.

I'm also going to hodl on my coins for the Next years and years sell non buy as much as possible

Yeah nobody can dispute it's one huge uptrend for some time now

Yep. Holding has worked well since 2013. Hopefully the same next 4 years.

If i could see into the future I would be rich by now. I'm going to hold and wait and see

Weather for today, gentlemen ...

Perhaps BTC price is going for another ATH for the event of Segwit activation tomorrow?

How it will work then will the November Segwit 2x hardfork part?

I would say the price will be under pressure until that time, that means I should sell at the coming peak?

I've heard Cindicator is paying 50 cents per post to keep their thread alive. $5 everyday for a total of 10 posts, even for Jr. Member accounts.
