Good Joke, I laughed.

HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE INSANE?!?!?!?!     

It's a sight to behold. 

But I thought $5,000 was a sure thing? Where are all the $20,000 BTC advocates?

Litecoin went down in value after segwit passed and has never gone up in price relative to btc since. They are passing the rise in bitcoin value off as a rise in litecoin value whereas in reality it hit .02 and got punched in the nose.

That's actually my exact train of thought. First everyone follows the often spouted ideal to withdraw their coins, then a large % will not redeem their airdropped BCH fast enough and get beat to the punch. Additionally, with all of the liquidity gone off exchanges the markets will get slapped around like a five dollar whore with far fewer coins while people sit there with their funds locked in wallets which need to sync and get transferred to exchanges creating a time buffer for market makers to react as they see fit.

The whole point is to not be mainstream.

It's like expecting everybody to adopt casinos. wow, tons of people using casinos and making lots of money! Soon, everybody will gamble in casinos and casinos will go mainstream! Everyone will use casinos!!!

The controlled max supply claim to fame is now obliterated. There are more than 21,000,000 tokens.

The whole premise of Bitcoin is being undermined and people are A-Okay with it, fools that they are.

That's cool if you want to think that but reality says differently. 

I'll go ahead and be contrarian here. Why would these people want to collapse the U.S. Dollar if that is where they house the majority of their wealth. If they wanted to avoid the issue of the price increasing as they acquire they could just... not acquire. And look elsewhere for a cryptocurrency system, hell, even one they themselves create.

Something tells me several of those people already own a few bitcoin anyway.

People only ever talk about the bad things Hitler did.... Why not all the GOOD stuff?

Now that the mainstream is adopting BTC, we will soon do the real pump and dump, leaving them with the ultimately worthless BTC digital token. Satoshi is a genius robber baron.

BTC will hit $500,000 then drop back to $50, destroying greedy bankers in the process.  

Right?  

There's this new altcoin named fiat, I heard they take it at every store. With such wide acceptance it's a clear winner.

This train ain't stopping til parity. It might dip but it'll get bought, baby.

Over the last few months all this talk of onboarding new users is really a code for creating new bagholders. Everyone was so sold on the Bitcoin 5,000, 10,000, 100,000, 500,000....

They thought it would happen within a year, two years, 3 years tops!

In reality they all fell into the hype trap and now we're going to see the narrative shift yet again, there's always something herding people from stable to stable. What is it this time?

Don't make me laugh, this recent recovery from the dip back to $4xxx is a suckers rally. Look at it putter out already.

aaaaaaaaaand bitcoin core is dead.

That is a blatant lie, it was released on June 26th. It says it plainly at the top of the article.

Want to send $20? Too bad, you will receive $4, it's only fair to pay the Blockstream Corporation for their Bitcoin invention.

I don't buy this "attack on Bitcoin" argument. So what if the chain gets spammed? That's exposing a weakness. What if Bitcoin actually got the mainstream adoption all these sycophants are constantly proclaiming? That spam would be replaced with "real" transactions. Old dice websites and others used to do 1 satoshi transactions all the time, there are legitimate reasons to send low value high volume transactions that aren't intentionally "malicious".

If core don't like the mempool being filled, they should alter their code to handle this. Unfortunately, they prefer to limit the block size and ensure that fees continue to rise, going so far to say $1,000 fees would be acceptable. Pushing transactions off chain is like a toddler pushing their toys under the bed to clean their room. They say things like it would be fine if it took as long as a year for a payment to settle as long as you could ensure it would eventually settle. That completely changes the fundamental currency claim of Bitcoin. It's not a settlement network.

Nice ad hominem, try to refute my point. You can't.

MOTHERFUCKING DOOM!

They're turning the frogs GAY and Michael Obama is a Tranny! There's a war on for our minds and we're all gonna die!

Well the North American continent doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. lol

Money can always be adjusted, printed, re-financed.

Infrastructure makes the nation as it stands today. I'm not saying that the United States won't go through a dramatic transformation but I wouldn't be surprised if the empire outlives you and I. If by some long-shot the country known as "The United States" came to an end, it will be assuredly replaced with a coalition of nearly identical nation-states utilizing existing infrastructure across the same territory. We can give Missouri to China or something though.

Don't give the media any ideas, next thing we know CNN will be running stories on the white nationalist currency known as Bitcoin.

It's not a bug it's a feature!

That's how you get rich right? Buying the all time highs?   

Why the pump?

PRAISE BE! DEUS VULT! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

So, so different. Those were mostly biased articles and false spins on what was actually said utilizing English speakers inability to read Mandarin.

This is an outright ban on ICOs which reflects the U.S. SEC's stance albeit more explicit. I don't know why people buy ICOs anyway.

Of course they will continue illegally but if you don't agree there needs to be regulation you are either 1.) a scammer 2.) Naïve

Dead Cat Bounces just delay the inevitable.

Psh, this is typical of the mental illness within the cryptocurrency community. There MUST be conspiracy and evil meddling afoot! There is no way that infinite ICOs which attempt to steal kid's lunch money could POSSIBLY be negative!

Only a brave idiot would BUY right now. 

This is far from a nanny-state. These are flat out predatory ponzi schemes. It's insanity and it needs to be addressed.
If you actually care about the adoption and success of cryptocurrency you should feel the same way about ICOs.

This isn't blood in the streets, this is the knife entering the skin in slow motion, the bleeding has hardly even begun.

Everyone's happy and so sure of themselves and how big smart smarts they are when it goes up but when it goes down they get mad! Funny how it is. They covet cheap coins, then they finally get ¿cheap? coins and they don't even want them! 

There is but one True Chain, Satoshi Akbar

There's a big, smart short with pockets deeper than a whale puss that's gonna wreck any futile attempts at recovery.

It's just the way it is. Don't shoot the messenger.

What does the weekend even do to keep people from "getting fiat onto an exchange"? I've never understood this. Any wire will have to be sent days in advance anyway.

I know this may be crazy to conceive but have you possibly thought that there are people who both own a lot of BTC and a lot of fiat? I know, crazy right? Who'd think that the two would be in any way correlated.

$2666 Incoming

It's hilarious to see people proclaiming BTC has recovered. YEAH RIGHT!!!

DOWN TO HELL WE GO!

As far as altcoin shilling goes, you literally PAY people with an ad campaign to shill your shitcoin. You of all people are in no position to speak morally against such a thing. That's not even what's occurring either, the BCH discussion is spearheaded by individuals who actually believe in the fundamentals of their position. We don't resort to leaving unfounded false accusation on reps, deleting posts, replying with intentionally obfuscating spam posts.

BTC shilling against BCH comes from the fear of the unknown and the inability to grasp the concepts at play. BTC has been hijacked by segwitcoin. Time will prove us right.

I'd just like to point out what should be an obvious fact:

You don't have to actually be Chinese to trade on a Chinese exchange.

Will $3000 be to your liking? Everyone has been thirsting for cheap coins afterall.
