Oh yeah, it is a great idea to rely on what other people tell you in deciding whether to buy or sell.... genius.   

It was over in February.

Doesn't mean we can't bitch about it.

But not like Bitcoin. We've outgrown that foolishness, have mellowed, matured.
Them sweaty pump days are over, Bitcoin got the diabitus.

rumour of a new fork ETF is gonna pump all things ETF ...
EtheruemFail

The eyes are not here
    There are no eyes here
    In this valley of dying stars
    In this hollow valley
    This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

 

Do you think you're the only one that's suffered? We've all been through it in here. But we haven't given up. We're still human beings, With dignity!

Ya but. How do we come together as a community to pump and dump a sidechain?

Sidechains is the way to go. It's the cypherpunk way.

This is crypto...it's turtles all the way down. 

It’s a shame Barry sold off Second Market. It would have been nice to be able to hedge by buying pre-ipo Blockstream shares.

Venture capitalists, insurance giants, and shrewd founders get all the spoils. All I got was this silly T-shirt. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s a SMALL. fml.

My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos... ruined dreams... this wasted boaed. But most of all, I remember The NotLambchop. The man we called "NLC." To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time... when the world was powered by the GPUs... and the Bitcoin sprouted great milk crates of fans and spaghetti.

Gone now... swept away.

For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war, and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without hashrate they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw.

The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche.

Their world crumbled. The fora exploded.

A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the exchanges it was a red dildo nightmare. Only those liquid enough to scavenge, petty enough to pillage would survive.

Miner gangs took over the blockchain, ready to wage war for lel.

And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed... men like NLC... the warrior NLC. In the roar of shitty Chinese ASIC, he lost everything... and became a shell of a man... a burnt-out, desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his past, a man who wandered out into the Bitcoin wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again.

Back on topic: Is 655 the new 666?

I'd say r/btc socially engineered all the big blockers into ETH. I doubt we have many left.

FTFY

Contentious soft forks are the way to go, what better way to change our immutable protocol than by dragging along all those who disagree with us? It's the cypherpunk way.

It was a clusterfuck to begin with, so it was just a matter of time before it imploded, forked, whatever. It was an experiment and as such it could fail in multiple ways.

Yes, we can bury the concept that contentious forks are a good idea... if this clusterfuck is happening with 85-15, imagine 75-25 scenarios or 51%.

I think it's a bit early to call the war over. As hash rate continues to drop... let's at least wait until the middle of August... If we rally >850, /shrug war is over. But if we don't and soon. I think we will have some excitement. I hope to be wrong however. If anything, recent developments simply show how committed each party is to their entrenched values. There is no compromise. This is war.

So do we think that other coin (s) forking fun is going to have repercussions for all crypto?

Someone else pointed out elsewhere that an SEC bod considering the ETFs is going to have cause to wonder if there's a possibility of the underlying asset suddenly going batshit insane and splintering off in all directions. You can't fork gold.

Just bought a game on Steam using BTC. Have to wait until it confirms. Bearish.

Edit: aaaand it's there. Bullish.

I think that was Barry Manilow.
