the sky is falling
any reasons for that?
yes, people need entertainment.
The broader issue is still that society isn't waking up to the need for crypto. Sure there are problems with BTC but if people actually cared about using it then an altcoin would have shot to the moon by now to take its place, even if temporarily. If the power is held by exchanges, then miners then merchants and consumers are down the bottom, then we're probably at the complete opposite of where we need to be.
There are no consumers. Just speculators.
yes, this makes sense.
This is brutal
not really. btc just facing reality. being the first isn't sufficient anymore and the store of value
perception depends mostly on vc interests lately.
block size has to be increased. thats for sure! its just a matter of HOW. XT is the bullys way of forcing things. better is BIP100 or 102
without XT we wouldn't even talk about it, would we?
You would think this is true, but I think there is more at play here with the overall fear in global markets led by China.
Why is there so much trust on these markets?
just needed to keep the last few muppets in the market to slaughter.
This is what happens, when people try to force a contentious hard fork.
Btw miners will mine both because they will both have economic value and money is to be made.
Two separate chains is a very realistic possibility and gets more likely as time goes by. Both sides are becoming more entrenched in their positions and refuse to back down. The arguments are getting more heated and angry.
won't happen. printing new business cards just to change core developer to altcoin developer is way to expensive.
core will do 101 after an appropriate cool down phase (weeks) to keep as much face as possible.
desperation level must be high if this shitty and useless barclays news is cheered so much.
a well known lifetime (money) sink now sinks your btc also and you are welcome this nonsense?
