what you describe is a scenario that would = me pulling out what I have in BTC and investing it back into other areas.
it would be the end of BTC as we know it, and then it would be something else.
Like many many have said before, try it...
Like many many have said before, try it...
The bitcoiners who can understand the risk say so, obviously because they have no other hope to cling on. But what about all those Chinese day-traders, drug buyers, currency remitters -- would they just give up on bitcoin too? Would Coinbase and all other bitcoin business shut their doors -- or will they side with the majority miners, and reasure clients that the change is harmless, really?
Of course and my government could decide to tax me at 90% on my earnings as of tomorrow too.
Not many decades ago, revenue tax used a progressive schedule whose brackets did not stop at 35% (or whatever is now the top rate). People with higher incomes paid as much as 60% tax on their earnings. I don't know whether some made it to the 90% bracket of higher. But the point is that no human decision is impossible, not even 90% tax on earnings.
(By the way, the reason we are seeing increasing concentration of wealth now is that the progressive revenue tax was abolished (in Reagan's time, or perhaps earlier), and there are so many tax exemptions that only the richest can use.)
its hard to reach consensus on some technical detail like block size limit, you think all the miners/devs are going to agree to fuck with the inflation rate and kill bitcoin as we know it...

4) Bitcoin is not a traditional investment, and also the release of new coins is not endless, it is very specific and known values, known by all in advance. No surprises here.
... unless, surprise, the top mining pools decide (with the main developers' blessing) that the next reward halvings need to be postponed for a couple of years, in order to ensure that mining remains profitable and they are not forced to abuse their overwhelming hashpower in nastier ways.
This would kill bitcoin value, this is called suicide.
That well may be, but if you have hangars' worth of gear that could keep mining at a profit @current block reward rate, vs. same hangars worth of gear that's a disposal liability @1/2 the rate...
yeah wow.. I am sure the miners have never considered that.
...
I'm sure they've considered it, and will act on it once the time is right
BTW, what's with the double-spacing faggiotry? I realize you have nothing to say, making me scroll won't fool me into thinking otherwise.
^That. Who knows what the dev/mining cabal is cooking up for us?

That is the only "defense" I have seen against that "attack". But it is only wishful thinking about how the users and other players would react.
I bet that, if that "attack" were to happen, 99% of the users would not even understand what it means, or care to know. They would just see the notice "new client release available, please upgrade before 01/Mar/2016", and will comply.
Even the ideological bitcoiners who understand and hate the change would comply, and even support the change; because making a fuss about it would be suicide for them.
Just close your eyes and repeat "om mani blockchain hum, bitcoin was meant to have a 25 M BTC cap, the current cap is wrong". After saying it a few thousand times, hopefully your soul will open and you will see the light.
nah.... I disagree, it would be the end of BTC as we know it, and then it would be something else.

Maybe you should send them a shnappy all points bulletin, cc everyone
I already have the subject title for you as follows:
"SHOCKING NEWSES"
or
"SOME OBVIOUS SHIT YOU HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT OF"
or
"I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU MINERS BUT....."
to name but a few.

If I don't see some genuine doom this weekend I'm taking my business elsewhere.

I still have hope for 300$ for next week, if price will go down more, I will buy more. I don't sell under 300, selling under 250$ is also crazy.
yes...let's trap more pigs.
come to papa!

lets not forget about the coins i offer for BTC
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/physical-bitcoins-wallets-not-loaded-0btc-and-more-368598
when you buy a coin from me you know I do not convert BTC payments to my local currency.

Adam, you should really edit that post before directing your customers to it:

You can can spend this bitcoin online by pealing off the clear sticker on the back, and redeeming it's Private Key Using MtGox's "Redeem Private Key" feature.

anyone remember the web with the countdown to the halving?
Thanks
Thanks
It's http://bitcoinclock.com/ & http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/
Just a suggestion, don't mind, I think you should have asked this somewhere else like in Beginners & Help or Bitcoin Discussion...
Im going to save both
