Enabling the maximal migration
Not looking good I'm sad to say. After this giant crap the egoists, johnny-come-latelys and sociopaths have taken on bitcoin all we can really do is wait for them to officially rage-quit and flounce off in Hearn's taffeta flowing wake .... hunker down, settle in for the long game I guess.

come to the dark side Marcus. We have cookies.

With the closing of today's candle clearly, unambiguously and fairly solidly in the green, I'm going to tentatively call our current price consolidation range as between $950 to $1,150.

Accordingly, I am not going to get too excited if BTC price moves in either direction within what I consider our current consolidation range - until it might look like we could be breaking out of the range in one direction or another.

Furthermore, in spite of the ongoing Hardfork FUD and some other "bitcoin is dead" nonsense, at this time, I will continue to place the odds that a price breakout to the upside of the consolidation range seems to be a bit more likely than a price break out to the downside.

Surely some folks here may have contrary opinions, but not to be too flippant, this is an opinion, so I am not really very wedded to whether I am correct or not.


 I am calling the situation in the way that I currently see it, based on a variety of recent price movements and long term fundamentals from my viewpoint.
 
agreed!

market should be relatively indifferent to the blocksize ongoing FUD.

For months (if not years!) many have already sold out because of the block-size-debate-FUD
so... who STILL hasn't sold "because forking shit"??

Also market is driven by traders, traders that are unclear of the details... so they probably don't really care "who wins" and all scenarios seem to point to a bullish outcome, the worst case scenario appears to be "double your coins"!!

if anything they should be thinking about pricing in the fact that this debate APPEARS to be coming to a resolution soon, sure the debate is on FIRE, but thats only because "the end is near".

and which ever way it goes, once this stalemate is over, there are very big plans and MASSIVE improvments ready and waiting, "bitcoin is scaling up" the headlines will read, this is massively bullish.

price will go up untill futher notice!  Cool

i hope  Lips sealed

Apparently, ethereum is going to take over bitcoin.  Cheesy

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1840510.0s
Only problem I see there is, as it stands, ETH takes a lot of mining hash power and electric to produce and would end up probably like bitcoin in that regard (miner dependent but spread across much smaller farms and home miners). On the other hand they keep alive the notion of moving to POS and is a part of the plan, I guess  Roll Eyes

Not that I think ETH will ever become the new BTC of the world, but it or something like it could be just as solid an investment and at much higher value.  Huh

This is before the Dao hack and then fork, and before BTC halving... just remembered reading this back then  Grin

I don't think BU or much else will change in the near future... Status quo" is returning. However BU is gaining back today after a few days of slowing in hash and blocks found. I think if BU was going to happen it would have by now or look more certain anyways, which is does not.

I think the more everyone considers the full scope of a hard fork and the inherent risk, the less attractive it is for a block size solution.

I for one, think the various devs need to go back to the drawing board and present something else. I know miners ultimately hold most of the power to be" but it should be a solution that satisfies most everyone. And find a way for non-miners to have a say. Only thing everyone else can do to be heard is, sell off BTC and put that money in something else. Miners need a buying market to survive.


with BU, non-minning nodes has a say.

I think " if BU was going to happen it would have by now " isn't quite right, BU hasn't had a working solution untill recently, not too long ago it was just an idea.
I think BU isn't quite ready to "takeover", even if everyone loved BU, the quality of the code just isn't there...
Maybe they will step up their game now that a lot of hashrate is backing them?
these things can move pretty fast sometimes, and other times just totally stall.

Wait and see...

BU is a hare-brained piece of shit that doesn't even stand up to a simple first principles analysis. The code implementation is a disaster but in reality that's the least of its problems. The charlatans who wrote the "white papers" backing up it's foundations are a prize bunch of vindictive assholes. The drivel they wrote is a waste of time even reading, I'm just sorry I'll never get that time back Sad.

Anyone pumping, supporting or god-forbid showing mining support for BU is just simply fucking not worth listening to. Sorry I know it's a favourite of yours but admit it you're mostly a drunken stoner nowadays ... you wouldn't know a good idea if it pissed in your ear.

In 24 hours Bitcoin's gone up almost $100 on stamp. It was only the fork FUD suppressing the price. Can it keep going up at this rate and rise another $100 tomorrow? I'm happy with anything over $1000.

Somehow I think people who dont speak english very well are being taken advantage of here, its hardly a positive for the industry overall.   The exchange should put up a warning to people and in a few different languages.   Thats the only way to explain it, a hundred or so clueless people thinking its a genuine 'new' alternative and buying some of the limited supply?

People are being taken advantage of but I think it goes beyond understanding english. People new to alt coins think they have just stumbled upon the next bitcoin and gladly buy without doing previous research, time and time again. There are those who just like to gamble, but there are also many people who may lack the ability to think rationally and fall for traps. But that's how it works I guess, one persons loss is another persons gain.

What is xbc?

Well, okay. What is Bitcoin Plus?
Aaaaand... What is Bitcoin Dark?

The BU mafia have told their alt pumpers that they're not allowed to like Bitcoin any more. So this is their little protest.

I see... But then, if they decided to rebrand, that means they understood that BUcoin is already dead. This must be out of despair?

Yeah, but have you guys seen Bitcoin ExtraTM (XBC++) yet?? It's going to totally revolutionize the crypto industry.

Get wit da times!
