Reading about how the "real" hard fork happening in November really makes those who sold too early makes me tingle inside. Cheesy

...in further non-news today, Bitpay lied again https://blog.bitpay.com/bitcore-segwit-activation/

They're deceiving their users. That's borderline fraud is it not?

If you haven't got $100 million to spend on supporting this nascent decentralised network with a broadcast satellite network you should just piss off? amirite?

There is nothing decentralized about a single sanitized version of the chain.

The satellite allows those people to also be able to get the Blockstream's approved version of the blockchain (well part of it, only new blocks right now)

FTFA

So what? I don't exactly see Ver/Wu/Wright et al building out any satellite capabilities for BCash.

Compete or get left in the dust.

So what? So I am just pointing out that use of this completely countermands the entire 'lots of non-mining, fully-validating nodes are useful to the network as a whole' narrative.

I didn't say anything about BCash - neither about Bitcoin Cash, which is what I assume you meant (BCash is an entirely different project based upon zk-snarks).

I have no complaint about Blockstream broadcasting their blockchain via satellite. More power to them. I'm sure some will find it useful.

And I have no unease regarding the trends in regards to the competition of Bitcoin Segwit vs Bitcoin Cash.

We must do what he has done. If we are truly a believer sell chunk of our property for profits.

Wow..... they can piss off, lying about non existent problems in Segwit, and getting you to install a Trojan Horse (BTC1) to fix it.

Just another artificial pump. All of you just need to pray that those few  who are actually controlling the whole BTC market will not dump it all in the next few weeks.



When the dollar finally has its crashing part, these times will look like cheap times.
Argentina just got an exchange. A shit storm is a brewin...

Most of btc's early adopters are truth and liberty seeking folks.
Give them more credit...
Lol, do you really believe in this freedom and liberty shit?
Bitcoins were created by some very smart people, who most probably are controlling it right now. Who is using bitcoins in real life? Nobody. It is just an artificial medium for  cash laundry, for selling some useless hardware (miners) for very high price.
Many drug  and paedophile dealers are really pleased to have something like bitcoin, so they can do their stuff totally undercover.
That is it. Any mentally  healthy  person wouldnt build his business on BTC, any smart person will invest money in BTC  because it is controlled by few people, and you never know what will happen tomorrow: will they pump it? Or maybe sell everything and wave you bye bye?

fly or die
3840€, nice.

Only a few months ago my plan was to spend all my coins when buying a house, along with all my stock.

Now I have sold half my stock to buy more coins and I don't want to sell them, I'll go for a cheaper house paid only with the remaining stock and a mortgage.

The question now being, how to make my coins grow ?

Well, that is somewhat safe. But I still don't see the advantage in security over a hardware wallet while I see the less convenience in usage.


I agree, Trezor or other hardware wallet is probably sufficient for most people.
But as the amount increases there is a point where a wallet in which you don't control everything is not good enough.
 
As an extreme example If you had Satoshi's $4Billion, would you trust a hardware wallet such as Trezor, which if stolen a few weeks ago  could have been stripped of coins in 10mins via a previously unknown attack vector, the only defence you would have is obscurity. (an attacker didn't know that you had a Trezor and that it could be attacked). - "security through obscurity is no security at all"
