STOPbitcoin top level! up coming 50000$
I hope it goes higher than $
It is all good while the hype supersedes practicality and economic utility arguments. As more entrants make their way into the network; the higher the transaction fees and the longer the confirmation times - people will sought altcoins and Bitcoin Cash which is the only Bitcoin fork that upholds Satoshi's vision. One day BCH will claim the BTC ticker when Legacy Bitcoin implodes.
that is my bet. Currently 128000 unconfirmed transactions on the network. Yesterday my TX locked for 6 hours and Unconfirmed was only 100000.
All the in fighting over keeping to the white paper vs actually fixing the issue will kill it. I bet with my coin and moved to BCH because of this and from the price swings since the fork cancellation it looks the wise bet to me :)
