8/1 is the beggining of the end
Bitcoin has about 5-6 years left before the dangers of SegWit are exposed. Nations will embrace Bitcoin after the fork with open arms and mass adoption will then begin.
They will do this knowing post-SegWit Bitcoin is dangerous, will let people suffer to get social support for regulations to be introduced.
Centralization, that's what SegWit is about. The minute this fork goes live is the minute Bitcoin stops being a P2P network.
Supporters say SegWit only organizes transactions, gets rid of the trash. Can someone tell me about this garbage in transactions some people keep talking about?
I think I read somewhere that the fork isn't actually going to happen. The new btc update is supposed to make it better too.
I don't know. Regardless, I'm excited to see what happens on 8/1.
I think it won't happen, not in August at least. Som big players are creating fear to buy out the BTC from the market at bargain and then probably sell it out at 3K or so in a month's time!
My problem is that for such big established fkng community - why is there no ASSERTION as to whether this will happen or not...
I guess this will be like the healthcare bill where it will be dragged to the last minute and people will recall and BTC will soar and those who sold it due to fear will cry and those who HODL'ed will brag only to realize there is a second poll that happens in November (speculation) when SegWit will actually happen and the HODL'ers lose money in BTC and those who get on BTC unlimited at HIGH price will then see that market cools down and sells it out at $100 per BTC Unlimited and slowly paces upward into 2018!
How is that for a speculative story!? Mark this story to revisit!
