Miners wanted to make it look as if Segwit may not get locked in this period as to accumulate some remaining cheap coins then come back last minute and save the day. This way they are able to obtain cheap coins as well as garner the trust of the community when we face further impasses such as the 2mb HF.
Well done.

@slush_pool is responsible for ~4% global hashrate now signalling for BIP91. With some luck, BIP91 will lock-in even in this window.

What do you say about BU? There will be no BU.
There already is BU. But BU is just a client.
There will be BitcoinCash. A larger, stronger, more capable derivative of Bitcoin, generated via hard fork. The primary client for BitcoinCash is BitcoinABC. Or BU - take your pick. Or Classic, XT, ...
Yes BU is Ver's baby.
Just no. That's an f'n ignorant-ass statement.
While Ver seems generally supportive of BU, he had absolutely nothing to do with the genesis or development thereof. He did kick in some adoption funds after it was a fully-operational client. But to claim "BU is Ver's baby" is simply wrong on all counts.
Just hit a standing sell order at 2674.69. My order book tells me we've not been here for 26 days. I'll take it.

Ha ha ha ha
You already saw the early birds of twitter and reddit how excited they are... It seems like everyone is making their price prediction.
"Prediction: When BIP91 locks in and pools signal SegWit, BTC price will rally hard. Just like for Litecoin, market knows SegWit is awesome."
July 20, 2017, 11:11:32 AM
I thought that it would fluctuate for a while, but segwit excited the market. I think price will rise like it was in litecoin until segwit activates, correction will come after the expectation is over

I don't expect the price to recover so quickly, but those are the breaks.
Not when the financial news section about bitcoin currently reads:
This grotesque bubble is blowing apart right now
Once R0ach started to up his troll game I knew I was probably going to be wrong. But ye gods, I still don't get it. Impending chain-split shouldn't equal moontrain according to any maths I ever heard of.
What chain split are you talking about?

So I see BIP passed. Interesting, miners kept screwing with it till the wire.
It's called a pump and dump scam. They painted a cup and handle that shouldn't exist then screwed with BIP signaling turning it off and on (like bitfury) to try and rig the market then turn it back on and pump trying to attract greater fools to chase their pump. The only reason to dabble in the bitcoin market at all is to try and extract money from it to turn into physical gold or silver. It's a completely centralized pump and dump scam at this point. Not supporting a PoW change is completely idiotic when the centralized mining cartel does stuff like this right in front of your eyes in BOTH LTC + BTC segwit activation.
You forgot the main point that is that now it is almost a sure thing Bitcoin will have Segwit, either tomorrow or sometime soon.
Don't underestimate the importance of putting an end to a fight that has already been there for a couple years.

only 15 to 25 have made there guess on when we brake another ATH ATH ATH ATH GAME !!!!
and get paid by me for the one guesses most closly ( 0.25BTC ) as another ( 0.25 BTC) for giving the best explanation why the raise at that time
anybody more wants to take a guess feel free to take a date
( for the ones that don't trust me to pay still just waiting for a trusty member to react on this and be confirmt by 2 other trusted members and i deposit the amount with them ......)
ONLY GOOD INTENTIONS

I think the price will get close to the price of $2789 on Bitstamp (on July 6th) within 24 hours from now, and then there will be a correction, probably bringing the price down to the region of $2400. After the weak hands have sold, I speculate the price will shoot upwards again once more, and will hit an ATH around 24 hours after that.
I call ATH on 22nd of July, at 16.32 GMT.
You forgot about the seconds mate..

I said 4 Agust 2017. Are you taking note of all bets? Take into account that anyone can edit their messages afterwards. Also, it shouldn't be allowed anyone to say a day that has already been taken by another participant.
P.S. And you haven't specified what exchange price will be used to declare a winner. Maybe Bitstamp?
Historically, Bitstamp tends to be the most common reference in this thread... even though on a few occasions, it came close to losing its bellweather status...
Good now you quoted me, it is clear I bet at 4
Yep, I guess we could assume Bitstamp but it is micgoosens who should confirm that.
its first time i do this but i just think the one closest i contact him i just note all the pages starting from 17252 so have everybody ...
than just think the closest one to respont i ask him a BTC addres and just send the amount of my ledger to there is not dollars just 0.25 from when ATH broken send the same day to a ADRESS
and from now i look and can't be 2 same dates for the same day ...... till here not happen't ( guessing the guy with 27july seems to be runnin good to) and he also give an explaination for another 0.25 BTC remember just a little technical analyse for why youre choosen DATE is another 0.25 BTC
Feeling still lycky with my 24.

Just remember kids, never in Bitcoin's history has there been a double top where the second top went higher than the first.
Ever.
Sure, this time things could be different.
"But this time things ARE different! We're getting SegWit! To da moon!!"
Sure, sure. Stay frosty.

This time won't be different. If all goes well we could be near ATH before 1AUG, but we won't really break it until after a few days later when all fears have been cleared.

Because if it went higher, it wouldn't be a double top?
