    A forced upgrade to Bitcoin Core nodes in order to patch vulnerabilities introduced by Core devs or a chain split may be inevitable. I thought Core didn’t do forks!?

    The new Bitcoin Core talking point is that informing people about the inflation bug was "irresponsible disclosure"

    Was doing my annual STD test today, and I discovered that STDCheck -- the #1 leading STD testing company in the United States with over 4,500 affiliated labs nationwide -- accepts Bitcoin Cash (and Bitcoin) through BitPay! :)

    According to Core, "BTC is the real Bitcoin" because "previous versions sync the chain." Therefore, any hardfork to fix the inflation / crashbug is no longer BTC, by their own argument.

    Posted: 20 Sep 2018 10:25 PM PDT

    For a year now I've been hearing the same argument repeated over and over: BTC is the real Bitcoin and BCH isn't, because previous/historical versions of Bitcoin Core sync to the BTC chain.

    Alas, this means that if BTC implements a hardfork to fix their inflation/crashbug, then the previous versions will no longer sync to the BTC chain, and by its own argument, BTC will no longer be "Bitcoin."

    They must address with soft-fork, or lose any claim to being "the real Bitcoin."

    Also, we should point out that for years we have been told "the code is the spec." Therefore, the "inflation/crashbug" isn't a bug at all -- it's the SPEC.

    Bitcoin Cash is the Bitcoin of 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014.....

    Bitcoin should remain as simple as possible. Imagine LN was used for real money, not just to provide speculators with "good news" - what would have happened if such a complex software had a critical bug? It'd render it useless. BCH has the best selling point as money by being simple and reliable.

    Coretroll mental gymnastics by Core developer and BlockStream employee/contractor Luke-Jr about the new hard fork bugfix on Core: "Softfork solution to accidental hardfork that no miner ever triggered."

    Bitcoin core now probably has less utility than 2015 while the price is still 30x higher.

    Posted: 20 Sep 2018 10:32 AM PDT

    All markets eventually correct itself. It is a matter of time that Bitcoin comes down to the real value which is commerce, not investment asset.

    Is the current Bitcoin Core more useful than 2015? No, it actually went backward.

    Is Bitcoin cash now more useful than 2017? Absolutely yes.

    This is what people need to focus on.

    BCH Maximalists: How do you see it happening?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2018 03:02 PM PDT

    BTC used to have 90%+ market dominance for a long time. And if scaling wasn't blocked it was easy to see how it could have simply taken over everything and become the one and only chain.

    I have heard things like the innovation is not blockchain, but bitcoin itself and that for crypto to work at scale, there can only be one. I'm an absolute noob in this world so I'm wondering if people could share (in layman's terms) how they see BCH potentially becoming the one and only chain?

    The Bitcoin Core bug might be worse than expected. A crash workaround allows for infinite inflation

    Posted: 20 Sep 2018 12:18 PM PDT

    (yes, I know that my "evidence" is merely someone making a claim on the internet without proving anything. I am making this post so that other people that are smarter than me can investigate the situation. Please post any evidence you find! )

    There has been a lot of talk about how the recent bug only crashes the network, because of an assert check that was added in Bitcoin Core .16 .

    But it appears as if there might be a workaround for the assert check that causes the crash, using multiple inputs.

    If this claim is true, then the bug would instead NOT cause the node to crash, but would allow for infinite inflation. Talk about an extremely detrimental bug!

    Does anyone have more context on this? I was trying to get the most up to date information on the bug.

    Edit: removing the word "doomsday" as that's apparently triggering people.

    All markets eventually correct themselves. They can remain irrational for a long time. The market correction for BTC has yet to fully correct to the new lower *utility* of BTC. The price correction will take place over a longer time span because Core is undoing *years* of progress. This takes time.

    Posted: 20 Sep 2018 04:00 PM PDT

    I predict BTC will have less than 25% crypto market share in the coming 2~ years.

    And don't let this confuse anyone if the price of BTC goes up again (it most likely will go up again), because other coins will go up way more in relation to BTC.

    It's all about percentages. In the coming years BTC's growth will not be the best we see, because its utility is not the best we have. The rest of the crypto market will continue to gradually erode its value until BTC has but a small percentage of the total crypto market.

    BTC may currently have 53% market share, but this is but an ebb in the tide of an otherwise downward spiral of the overall crypto marketshare.

    This is evidenced by the fact that BTC a few years ago was closer to 100% market share.

    There is growth happening in the crypto space, but it's not happening in BTC so much as its happening in other cryptos.

    Invest accordingly.

    Yesterday I posted on r/bitcoin: "What is the recommended procedure to safely update a bitcoin node if I have an LN node with channels open?" I was instantly attacked in the comments and then banned. That seems like totally normal community behavior ��
