I Have to Admit This Bitcoin Space is the Most Entertaining One That I Have Ever Been Apart Of.
When Bitmain published their blogpost, "UAHF: A contingency plan against UASF (BIP148)" all I could think is, "here we go with another round of Bitcoin Bullshit and FUD". It is all quite entertaining for those who have been around a while. Sure every time a team steps up and wants to be the point of rage for the whole Crypto Currency community I am all for it. The pure entertainment value is priceless.
How it Looks When Devs Fight.
How Bitcoin Reacts to the Punch.
How Newbies React.
How Veteran Bitcoiners React.
How I React.
Strap In This is Going to Get Interesting.
I have been telling everyone that 2017 is not done with the Bitcoin surprises. Everyone thinks a moonshot is coming but I have been more tempered. Like I mentioned before, all it takes is a few stumbles to slow this high speed train to a much slower steam engine. This announcement by Bitmain is just one more reason to not get overly excited. I will not be putting any down payments on penthouses as of yet.
LOL Great perspective thru hilarous gif's. This is what a real free market looks like, sometimes extreme ups and downs.
Although the big holders may play this to their advantage, such as Satoshi with a million coins. Up or down, well informed investors can take positive advantage of these wild swings.

I read bitmain's blog and i got a headache. Bitcoin and blockchain is already quite difficult to comprehend for the average person much more Bip148 and segwits! How will people adapt something they dont understand?

They will adapt because it is better than their traditional system that they also don't understand.

Apologies for the typos, writing on a very tiny iphone screen. Anyway, yes it is an alternative albeit a better one. Not all who go into stocks or MF understand the folio or the financials behind them. Most people care only about how they are going to earn off it. Like with Steem, the potential for good money is there and that's what attracts people. But many dont understand that they either need hard consistent work.. or get lucky.

Good post! I agree that there is a lot happening that could keep the price suppressed, but it looks like some action is coming closer and when this means that Segwit gets activated, it could fuel the rocket to the moon. Segwit will hit Jihan by cutting of 30% of his mining power, so mining will become more decentralized again. Further the scaling issue will be partly resolved and 2nd layer solutions will arise. I just hold and hope.

@hilarski started thinking in advance. What am I going to do when btc phases out?! I'm relatively newer to bitcoin, so reading everyone else's opinion only confuses me more. So far I've learned stay away from reddit, find the facts. What is BIP 148?

BIP 148 is a user activated softfork of Bitcoin. The Bitmain team apparently does not approve. There is plenty of info online explaining it. I am not that well versed in it.

Hey man, how are you finding Panama? I am a relatively newly born consultant/entrepreneur/investor myself and really considering doing the expat experience the next year! So many great places to choice from though!

Panama is a life of chaos all around, until we arrive home. Then it feels like any home I have ever lived. It was the best decision I have ever made. Just be forewarned it is not easy for the first few years and after 6 I still struggle dealing with it sometimes.

I could put my picture on your orange banner and the exact description would work for met as well. Actually, your entire article is spot on as well. I've been telling my friends to buy crypto, but start with $100 and get your feet wet. Learn how to send money, take it offline, put it back on, etc.. then buy in dips and watch the daily news on the top crypto's. We are in such early phases that volatility is going to be big for another year. And yes, more interesting than a soap opera.

In normal condition yes, all can colapse, but the crypto is under a lot o media, and a lot of capital will come in the market, if the demand is on, the coins will go up. How high not sure. Up and downs are normal, we have a game with no rules almost. So it will be a bumpy flight .

Pleasy correct me if i'm mistaken. But wouldn't the UAHF proposal just strengthen the value of cryptocurrency. I mean if the goverment wants to cease al of your possessions, the only option you have left is to trade fiat for crypto's. Making your assets inaccessible for the auhorities.

People will adapt to crypto currency because they adapted fine to the way Federal Reserve Notes exist without knowing how a dollar comes into being out of thin air. It's very complicated and I don't understand it, but I know how to spend it. I even know how to spend more of it than I have!
