Bitcoin is antisemitic
No-body is left to hold back the BCH price and it is pushed dramatically upwards to try and create a viable alternative

The question is what will do BCH holders and miners? Hold, sell for fiat, sell for btc?
Likely they will dump bch at the earliest b/c it is clearly not a so credible coin, which means low price, low incentives for miners and so on. Just another shitcoin.

Eclipse between C1 and max here in CO.

I'm working from my back porch today. Webex sessions punctuated with viewings. 9 minutes to max. We won't have totality here - we're a bit south of the path of totality. But the creeping darkness is already kind of ... creepy.

What a joke, I wouldn't hold my breath. China never creates anything, only copies or steals IP from others. They will forever be the 'also rans' of the of the rest of the world.

Just so I'm not accused of shilling for BCH, I'd prefer if BCH just died now...but Just a train of thought....

Segwit2X is designed to fail (Garzic is not even implementing Replay Protection) which will ensure Core supporters dislike it, and they can spread there ideas easily to those who are on the fence.
These little pumps in the BCH price are designed to shake out the core supporting BTC holders. They will play with the price until November enticing us to sell in various ways.
Then November comes, Segwit2X fails, Jihan switches to BCH and then the real push starts.
BTC is left with 10-20% of hash power and stalls for a few weeks/months until the difficulty re-calc.

No-body is left to hold back the BCH price and it is pushed dramatically upwards to try and create a viable alternative, Main stream media is saturated with anti BTC articles. BCH announce a bunch of partnerships and deals.

There is more to their plan, than we have seen so far.
Maybe good to pick up some cheap BCH over the next few months to help kill it later.
Everything that has happened so far was easily predictable in advance, this is just the opening (sacrificial) battle, in a war. Perhaps I am giving them too much credit, but, I think they are playing a longer game than we currently see.

There is extreme dishonesty in the segwit2x camp, which you can see from trying to exploit the fact that people do not really know Segwit is 4mb, and they try to sell the angle that bitcoin is simply going to be upgraded from 1 to 2mb. The dishonesty is compounded by things like what Bitpay does... "yeah just download this upgrade titled bitcoin" (which runs something else).

And I'm thinking here that was 2mb... if SegWit is already 4mb, then why all this drama?

Because blocksize was never the issue.

This seems like a kind of currency war. Maybe are not the PBOC managers who are behind all this trolling?

Get real!!!

Jihan and Ver and Wright and Garzik and whatever other bigblocker nutjobs, they are not even attempting to work within the Core governance system and to submit actual fucking BIPs... they whine and fart and engage in strategic actions and tactics outside the system (such as spamming the network and creating forks and publicly spreading misinformation), and they do not submit actual code or BIPs through the governance system that already exists (and they make shit up to say that they try to submit.. blah blah blah, and they are really just spreading lies, because they are not making any efforts to make changes through the already existing open governance system, aka core).

Haha ^^ <<shrilling intensifies>>

Just to let everyone know that using TREZOR to claim your BCH is a piece of cake. Excellent interface from SatoshiLabs, kudos to them! I claimed them all from both my wallets and transfered directly to Kraken.

I'm a HoDLer, can't do trading, not good at it. But the "free" cash I got from BCH was too tempting for me to not give it a try. I sold all of them when they were slightly past their peak. Now they're dropping nicely, so I can buy them back and be left with free BTC! But I'll wait for a bit to see how it all plays out. Trading is an addictive thing. I may do it with my free BCH, but there's no way I'm touching my original BTC. They're safely stored in my TREZOR and will not be touched unless absolutely necessary.

Have fun guys 'n' gals, and remember --> HoDL!

Sounds like you picked the right HW wallet. I've got a keepkey and they're still trying to figure out how to let us send BCH.

I move the btc into new wallet address, then swipe the old wallet address containing bcc using coinomi.

Bob was probably wise to wait to get verified. For the first time I have real money sitting on Poloniex, just waiting for them to go bust. I don't even think the daily limit is real. I was able to withdraw about $800 24 hours ago. Undecided

I've been withdrawing 2000$/day for 40 days now, so the limit is definitely real. The amount of BTC I can withdraw every day has gone down a lot, obviously.

I've no problem with KYC rules but they don't validate my profile for some reason.

You're never too old to think young.
Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still going basically sideways I see, but down a little... currently $4015USD/$5052CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

AltcoinCash also down. I hope I didn't wait too long to convert them to real bitcoins. Oh well, at least I didn't sell when they were worth half what they are now.

Anticipation.

There is a bug in the beta-wallet.trezor.io interface you have to use to claim BCH and use. You won't lose any coins but you may get surprised to see the wrong balance when switching between BTC and BCH if you have multiple accounts and use passphrases. Trezor is working on a fix the problem is explained here.

What is real money for you? Polo is only crypto.

I can withdraw from Polo without problem so far.

A friend of mine who is not a US citizen told me he sold his BCH on ViaBTC. He said it worked for him verified him in a few hours and allows for withdraws up to 100 BTC per day. He reported that he converted his BCH to BTC and then withdrew BTC without issue.

I do not know what the volumes are at ViaBTC or really anything at all about the exchange so proceed at your own risk. I am also not sure if they allow US citizens to trade.
