BTC By far the most accurate crypto price forecast

With all of the recent drama about the importance and replaceability of Bitcoin Cash developers, perhaps it's worth revisiting Satoshi's parting words to Gavin Andresen:

I wish you wouldn't keep talking about me as a mysterious shadowy figure, the press just turns that into a pirate currency angle. Maybe instead make it about the open source project and give more credit to your dev contributors; it helps motivate them.

What I like about Bitcoin Cash: it's completely decentralized. No board, no official developer, no authority, no official spokesperson.

Just look at the IOTA shitshow. EVEN if I believed in IOTA technology I would never trust the people running it.

When u/nullc (greg max swell) joins the party, you can be certain there's an avalanche of trolls sowing discord.

Posted: 08 Aug 2018 10:26 AM PDT

Recently nullc posted this: This subreddit's abusive treatment of deadalnix isn't much of a surprise....

What can you read there right off the bat? Over generalization blaming "this sub" (= BCH community) for witch hunting deadalnix, when this is empirically untrue, as untrue as equating deadalnix's BCH slack ban with a community act.

First of all, the BCH slack was created for CSW explicitly. It is not a general community slack. Second, if the sycophants running that slack wouldn't ban rizun and deadalnix, they would of course be excluded/downgraded themselves in the CSW worshiping ranks, so they acted according to their mission. It is simply not a community slack in the broader sense of the word and everybody gives this enormous importance only because CSW claimed to be satoshi, although never ever provided any sound proof of it.

If you guys don't know, deadalnix wrote a blog entry criticizing segwit months before the fork, and greg was the first to rush and attack him personally for that. Here:

https://www.deadalnix.me/2017/02/27/segwit-and-technologies-built-on-it-are-grossly-oversold/

Notice that in that piece deadalnix is also denouncing the censorship in BTC community:

Conclusion

When someone is lying continuously to you to sell their tech, rely on censorship, be sure they have ulterior motives. Do not buy or you'll get scammed.

Greg "champaign" maxwell immediately starts his last post by generalizing those actions to the whole BCH community, just like regular trolls have been doing. So he starts whatever he wanted to argue there with a malicious non sequitur that he hopes will catch on if repeated enough times.

Isn't it funny that he is posting in a subreddit he hates so much? And is trying to imply BCH is fraudulent? This is true for many sock puppet accounts I lost the count of, which is a bit of a sociopath behavior if you ask me.

Here you can find something really fraudulent: Fun fact: did you know that Greg Maxwell was a LITECOIN miner and even coded for it from the day of launch??.

So nullc and other shills employ a very old known tactics we all see in protests: they enter the protest with some slogans unrelated to the issue to create some correlation and push their political agenda. They try to capitalize in the chaos.

It doesn't really matter if CSW is good or bad, or if amaury is good or bad. The issue has always been that one party wants to lock in the protocol, the other party has different technical ideas and that's pretty much it. They cannot reach an agreement because both are alpha dogs. It has nothing to do with this sub, blockstream, trolls, whether BCH is bitcoin or not, really nothing at all.

I'm not sure why greg left blockstream, maybe he was booted, maybe he simply got rich with his litecoin scam and just got out, but it is pretty ironic that he is displaying concerns on how BCH community behaves, isn't it?

This is how greg treats his old partners:

Can you show a single thing in the project he [Adam Back] has ever influenced?.

Adam's Back must be hurting...

Trying to look at the current drama at a more macro level... and then raising the question of whether we are unintentionally creating bloatware?

Posted: 08 Aug 2018 01:57 PM PDT

There has been a lot of grief lately from the development side regarding hot emotions and banning from whatever. Frankly, I could care less. Maybe I'm old, but this crap is so tame compared to the internet in the 90's. I mean... does anyone actually think this comes anywhere close to goatsy?

But the question of why and where this is coming from is more important to me.

What really bothers me, and has been for a while is that development has lately been really feeling like potential bloatware. All I really wanted was for the damn block limit to be increased like originally planned in 2010. So we get that done, and next thing I know there are planned updates twice a year, bitcoin cash tokens and god knows what else!

Even if there was no worry about getting co-opted, this is just asking for trouble. When you mandate updates, it is human instinct to want to make something to put in that hole, and by scheduling them we are creating deadlines. Thereby adding a bunch more stress and drama for good reason at all.

So I'm hoping to start a conversation that moves more in this direction. Thank you for your comments and replies.

People will soon come to realize the profit from living in a free world will far exceed any gains that may result from hodling Bitcoin, for even a billionaire can't buy freedom. What good is money to a slave?

Let's focus on technology & adoption. That's what matters.

Posted: 08 Aug 2018 02:45 PM PDT

Dear community,

Don't get distracted by the drama, focus on making BCH the best form of money and spread adoption since this is what truly matters in the mid to long run. The goal of Bitcoin is to free humanity from bankers and fiat printing out of thin air.

When the next global recession hits, current financial system will get wiped out since none of the fundamental problems were solved after 2008. Interest rates are very low so the only way to boost economy will be to print a lot of fiat money leading to hyper inflation. Humanity needs an alternative means of exchange which is also resistant to inflation. This is the time when BCH can thrive, protect wealth and reach all time high valuations since it's meant to be used by both poor and rich and is capable of scaling.

By contrast, BTC is likely to struggle in crisis times when huge influx of new users start joining the space leading to high fees and bad user experience. It's not capable of handling more than 300k transactions per day without massive fees.

The business cycle is in the last phases before changing the trend and diving down. Give it 1-2 years and we will see fireworks when BCH goes truly mainstream due to uncertainty in world's economy.

So we need to prepare for those times when banks go bust and huge influx of users happen. Let's focus on technology and adoption. Respect each other and collaborate since we are all in the same boat. We all need Bitcoin to work well and be useful when recession hits. This is the goal of Bitcoin as implied by the message in the genesis block.
