This manipulation is quite obvious to me. Go to Poloniex, and look when a lot of alts were bought before Bitcoin dipped. It seems that the tactic is as follows:
1) Buy up several alts (whilst avoiding a price rise)
2) Short BTC and continue buying alts.
3) Dump alts to get more BTC.

Totally agree , manipulation to move bitcoins to alt and the dump alts

I do actually agree with you though, most altcoins are pump and dump.

Eth and monero will probably stick around and have their place, though.

But what we don't want is them over-taking BTC completely, which is possible if this goes on for too long.

Hey Lauda, I see you deleted my post about ethereum gaining marketshare,

Bitcoin under 70% marketshare for the first time.

WTF are you trying to do here, censor the truth?

Should we just bury our heads in the sand?

This trend is going to continue until BTC sorts out its scaling issues.

Maybe if we're lucky it will happen in time so that ETH doesn't completely dominate the landscape by then.

segwit requires miner consensus, if not, it has huge potential to split the chain.

if 51% of miners agree that its an "anyone can spend tx" then ~~anyone~~ everyone will attempt to spend it.

It doesn't require miner consensus at all, a simple majority would be enough. And there's no huge potential to split the chain, this 'anyone can spend' story spread by BU propagandists has been thoroughly debunked already: https://seebitcoin.com/2017/02/segwit-facts-not-anyone-can-spend-so-stop-saying-they-can/

miners could mine a block that breaks these rules and old nodes would still recognise it as valid.

imagine a simple majority 55% of miners are segwit
the 45% other miners are not.
anyone can spend TX will be spent every time.
45% of the miners see this as valid, the include the TX
55% understand segwit TX and see it as invalid
the chain splits....

the truth is in bitcoin a "simple majority would be enough" applies to anything and everything.
but in the end its all up to economic majority...

95% was always looking tough - 5% + saying no was almost predictable.

after 40-60% most of the other miners fall into line quickly.

Traders are so dumb. 400$ growth in 4 months and still complaining about 10$ fee.

No it's just the first real challenge that the experiment Bitcoin faces. Now it will show how good that concept works under scrutiny.

Even if we wouldn't have those 1MB-limit issues there would be another issue along the road with the potential to split the community or the community from the miners.

If Bitcoin isn't able to handle that it's a fail. As simple as that.

To be honest I want Segwit, BTU and all the other f*ckers to be killed in their infancy in their cribs while sleeping!

Also... 512KB down from 1MB... and higher fees for transactions! Cheesy

... THIS IS SPARTA!!! Cheesy

LN is going to happen with or without SegWit. SegWit will get activated too, there are other ways to activate it without needing 95% miner signaling.

My only regret is being able to only buy 2 BTC on Coinbase right now due to my account limits Sad

Buy a other coin and change it with crypto switch. Who is using exchanges nowadays. Cmon fiat money is something from the past

You seem concerned?

Perhaps you should try one of the alts... I have heard that they are "Bitcoin 2.0", the "Next Big Thing^TM"and all the rage these days.

But choose wisely. Wink

hmm lets jump into alts that are all in a bubble except dead litecoin. Bitcoin totally bottomed out. Decreace of almost 400 dollar each. And people still wondering if they should buy bitcoin now. BUY IT ALL DAMMIT!!
