what happened when bitcoin forked?

man, that was crazy times.

you ask that to a bitcoiner, and anyone who was in the game at that time will remember where they were and what they were doing.it's like louis armstrong on the moon or JFK assassination.

personally, I found out about an hour late, and I was just glued to these forums. I read all the pastes from the IRC chat, and the discussion threads they spawned, and after 4 or 5 hours, it was pretty much over. it was kinda cool how quickly consensus was reached.

the motives protecting bitcoin are so simple and so strong, smart contracts and bitcoin-denominated assets and all that is just a side show.

Bitcoin should just stick to being money, and just get rid of everything else.

Money is what moves this world, after all.

Why would Louie Armstrong go to the moon when there is no air?  Air is necessary for his horn.

doh!

maybe it was neil? or maybe chuck norris?

I can't remember, I wasn't alive back then, and I'm still skeptical about the whole thing, just like the prof  Grin

I remember watching the market go crazy and before I had time to make a rational/ non-emotional decision, it had worked itself out. It was on par with the SR crash. The hardfork showed the resiliency of the community. The SR crash gave credibility to the currency.

The bull markets make me more nervous than the bear ones even though I'm a hodler. If we carry on like we have been, it'll be ATH in about 2 weeks. That's MENTAL.

There is an alternative theory for Willy, saying that it's a special API for whales.

In case anyone cares, the Willy Report got coverage in Chinese e-media today (which is alread Tue May/27 in China)

There seem to be an interesting article in the Atlantic Monthly about the future of digital payments in general, many Chinese sources are copying it.

If I understand correctly this camera review article, even consumer video cameras are being infected with bitcoin mining viruses:

Price is looking very good as for a Tuesday Smiley

Another day with a rally I predict +%35 i next 12h.


 Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

35%? Thats a big move! I would be happy with a tenth of that!

Well misspelling Smiley I was thinking of $ instead of %...

Anyway +%35 would be amazing too Wink
but this is possible if the rally will not stop more like till the end of the week than in next 12h Smiley

Quick analysis yields that a big move up starting in the next 36hrs would fit the trend...

Why does igorr keep on saying: This user is currently ignored. Anyone?

He is one of our most intelligent users on here. His contributions, brilliant as they are, however tend to move the markets through their sheer relevance and originality in a way that is unpredictable, maybe even dangerous.

It was decided that it would be for the better of all of us lesser users if we are spared the radiating intelligence of his posts, and thus he has been placed on ignore by most. A sacrifice none of us made lightly.

The candle that burns twice as bright...

well put,

it is people like igorr that have convinced me to never use the ignore button.

you just never know when a pearl is gonna fall out of a lump of turd.

aw man, even more noobs who will use the dreaded 'bits' instead of ubits.

There are worse problems.  Wink

Yes, although I agree the term is illogical.

what the hell are bits worth anyways? 1 000 satoshi or something? can someone give me a conversion confirmation here? my google-fu is not so great when I'm dring.

For those of you keeping score, Mmitech decided to pull out of our bet from yesterday. He asked me to prove I had ownership of the 20BTC by moving it to a wallet which I did. However, when I moved it back out of that wallet after confirming, he said that I had to keep it there for 7 months - the reason I didn't want to take the bet in the first place - and then he said he was cancelling the bet and wanted to anyway.

While I am disappointed that again bets on this forum are always cancelled for some reason or the other, I thought I'd pass on the information and let it go. No hard feelings.

What was the bet again? Something with LTC hitting $100? I would bet against that happening..

As stands, it seems like $585 is the mark that we need to break through before we can even start thinking about $600

I dont follow..

BFX $587.9 (3hr high 590.3)
Bstamp: $585.6 (3hr high 587.5)
Huobi: $582.6 (3hr high 584.83)
