1/ stfu with your unhampered unexistent mainstream adoption
2/ stfu with your blocksize pseudo science
3/ stfu with your uncertainty that only your Gavin idol created.

As long as there is uncertainty, there will be a downward pressure. Uncertainty will dissappear long before new year, and the larger blocksize will be accepted by all. Then, price can rise, because unhampered new adoption will necessarily lead to a higher price.

Explanation

This is still a slippery slope argument. You're assuming that the Bitcoin ecosystem is so stupid that they will adopt just any change no matter how destructive it would be. If so, then Bitcoin is doomed anyways and we should just all give up. If there are no arguments pro core and/or against  this XT implementation then I don't see what you're trying to say here. Are you worried about the open source nature of Bitcoin?

PS. You can disagree with Gavin, but to suggest that he doesn't know what he's doing warrants a bit of an explanation. I would be very interested to hear how he went from chief scientist to bumbling ignoramus.

Interesting, thx!

Once Gavin & hean out : ccmf.

Else you might just wanna kiss bitcoin goodbye.

220 seems to be a solid floor we've seen before.  I'm guessing this is the break even point for miners and they don't sell below 220.  Everybody seems scared to buy right now even though 2 months ago people were wishing they would of loaded up at 220.  Funny how that works.

BTC depends on faith. If that's shaken by schisms then I can't see how that would help the price. No market likes uncertainty and a brand new market likes it even less. I think we'll have a clear direction long before January myself.

There's a lot of discussion here about the pros and cons of a bigger blocksize, but other threads elsewhere on this forum are more informative about this subject. What I am interested in is, what are you people thinking this whole blocksize discussion will mean for the price the coming weeks or months?

I'm asking because I'm usually dead wrong when trying to predict what will happen. This will probably mean the price will sharply rise very soon, as I have sold my entire stash @ 208 euros hoping to buy back a lot cheaper when this whole thing is settled (one way or the other).

is crypto done??

Indeed and that's exactly what Gavin and Mike did.

And no they didn't fork anything, besides the GitHub repository. If bitcoin forks it's because more than 75% wants it. No need to cry about it now.

I guess the experiment failed big time, best to flood the entire country and start from scratch. I even heard in the hallways that one of their supposedly smart Professors has given up all hope and rather wastes his time online then to help his fellow citizens...

Explanation

Poster earlier said "we need faster btc, not 10 minutes BTC".

Andersen and Hearn said "we need bigger btc, not 1mb BTC"

Next thing you know, a guy who doesn't follow protocol, just like Andersen and Hearn did, forks it in favor of 2x - 5x faster transactions and claims all the other guys are cripple coiners for insisting on a time limit that is slow and that can't rival visa. He proclaims that speed is a necessary element for getting wide adoption and that otherwise we'll be favoring payment processors that can take 0-conf transactions - so we really NEED these lower conf. times.

See how good it sounds? But these populist appeals to bigger-better-faster are bullshit.

If you ask anyone whether they want a bitcoin that can transact faster or be able to cope with more transactions, they will all say yes. Why wouldn't they? But there are very good technical reasons why we don't currently have 10mb blocks, or a high block frequency, or zero fees, or or or.

For most people these technical reasons are elusive, and that means that their decision in favor of a "better" bitcoin can be heavily influenced due to all those factors that they ignore.

So let's just leave the actual devs that know how BTC works, and that perform very thorough analyses on how it'll work out if they change key parameters, to decide the next development steps of BTC.

cry me a river.

Have I ever told you that you're a complete ass?

stfu. told you this is not the place. no need to spill your ignorance everywhere, thinking your opinion matter in the first place.

wall obs thread. lets keep it that way. go altcoin section.
