Topic: What happened to the flow of new topics here? (Read 1456 times)
There have not been many interesting posts on the forum regarding economics lately, so occasionally I'll read through the older threads.
all the endless fighting about block size is wasting time, resources, and slowing progress.
We are obligated to fight features. Don't expect the small block militia to just give up and roll over, abandoning our diverse/diffuse/defensible/resilient network to the depredations of Hearn's bankster buddies.
It's not "wasting time" to defend Bitcoin from internal and external adversaries. To the contrary, that's how we enhance our antifragility.
IOW, Bitcoin runs on drama. Always has, always will.
If you get tired of it, try taking a nap or making a nice cup of tea.
Its a nice thought, that all of this stress-testing will lead to a better bitcoin. I hope you're right. Though it does seem like Hearn just gave up on his vision for what bitcoin should be and/or has been purchased.
I think the flow of topics in general--not just the economics section--is lacking. There are some very bright people who used to post regularly here, the old-timers and so forth. What I see mostly is speculation threads that are just wild guessing and are completely unnecessary. I don't have a great background in economics, just a few college courses, so I don't have a lot to add here.
Well most probably has the same point and the same ideas so its looks like theres new topic to discuss
The popular opinion seems to be that Core's refusal to lift the 1MB block size has put an early, artificial cap on adoption. I don't know how true it is...But the market is rarely wrong about these things.
Whether or not it's put a cap on adoption, it certainly seems to have put a cap on the price.
Interestingly, there is an analogous problem in the capital markets at large right now.
Stock markets have come well off of their Summer highs. There is evidence that the global economy is slipping into recession if it isn't there already.
Central banks don't seem to have a clue about it, and don't even acknowledge the possibility going by the FOMC statement today.
OPEC countries are being killed by the collapse in oil prices, but can't agree on production quotas.
There is a general breakdown of confidence due to incompetent, ineffectual leadership across the board.
Maybe bitcoiners just aren't as excited about bitcoin as human nature turns it a bit sour. That's my sentiment atm.
I feel you. I'm not talking about the utility of bitcoin. But all the endless fighting about block size is wasting time, resources, and slowing progress.

I agree, but one thing i have noticed is if someone posts a topic anywhere near similar to a topic 2 years ago they are told that this has been said before or asked before, and so the topic drops off. maybe we need to be abit more patient with noobs
Amph is right, this section would have been died, if signature campaigns would be forbidden. Most discussions got pumped by new posts which are totally senseless. New threads got immediately spammed with one or two liners. If you want to have serious discussions, you need to choose some of those Bitcoin forum alternatives which do not allow adding a signature.
Bitcoin is here to stay. You can't expect crazy waves every week, when that happens people asked where's the stability. Now we have stability, people say it's boring because price is the same every day. Then don't hold it for investment purposes, go and spend your coins. There are a lot of places you can spend your coins at. Give something, take something, that's how Bitcoin economy grows.

Nonsense. Every day Bitcoin survives is another day I get more excited about it. Your sour "sentiment" is irrelevant to Honey Badger, thank God.
We don't need endless copypasta from Zerohedge duplicated here. Just open a new tab, because it's not the same without Boris Alotovcrap (I love that guy).

There's plenty to talk about now:
** Just tonight, the FBI killed two in the rural Oregon stand-off.
** Trump/Cruz. Hillary's lies. Hillary's health. <=== Will Biden jump in? Where do they all stand re Bitcoin?
** Shanghai is down 2.8% or so as I write
** Developments in BTC hardware wallets (a topic of interest to me) come about every week now.
** Whither Europe? <=== That's a big question.
** Whither oil? Whither gold? Where's my coffee? (sorry)
** WHEN (and how) will they resolve the blockchain size debate??
** Whose BTC services are any good?
I start new topics from time-to-time. Pick something you're interested in, and that you would like to see other opinions, and fire away! It's easy and fun!
the fact that FBI killed 2 doesn't have anything relating to the economics section at all. Maybe it's off-topic There's plenty to talk about now:

I've been watching and there are fewer and fewer new topics being posted to this Economics board...why is that? Any guesses?
Scroll down the page and you'll mostly see threads that have hundreds or thousands of replies. I don't want to talk about the same thing, let's get some new ideas and reinvigorate this great discussion board on economics!
Who's with me?

Then create a good topic about economics. I think people here post for signature campaign, as you can see it's hard to see new topic here. because that topic going down so fast.

because they are always talking about the same shit, if it was not for signature this place would be died long time ago
you see that they are bumping the same shitty thread and adding nothing to the discussion, i can tell you this, since i'm looking at every thread more than one time per day

This might be the truth.
Just wait for the next new financial problem or drop /rise in gold or oil. It will be all over this place.
A lack of news and threads that cover most topics are probably the cause of this slow flow.

Because we're already in the middle of the next financial problem - the markets are dropping, oil is dirt cheap, Mike Hearn says bitcoin failed...how many more financial problems do you need?
I think after the Halving or a fork this subforum will be alive with new threads because every major change spurs new economic situations people like to talk about.
It's most likely because the real action in the market is lacking. Just look when there is a huge pump comming up, then you will see them come back to life.
