This attack (BCH) to hijack btc has been outlined way before it happened. Motive is money and not support for a better btc as bmking states. This is widely researched and known. Also, the track records of jihan an public lier roger ver also speak for themselves.

Imagine a world where you can buy without a merchant, bet without a bookie, get insurance without an underwriter, access finance and loans without a bank, trade without an exchange, purchase commodities without a broker, have law without lawyers, courts and judges, create assets without an issuer, secure escrow without an agent, have internet without an ISP, verify records without a notary, establish reputation and credit without a credit agency, and create identity without a government.
Imagine a Bitcoin world.
IS it not deflationary?
2015: Block reward: 25 btc * 6 blocks per hour * 24 hrs* ~250 euro = 900.000 euro worth of daily mined supply
2017: 12.5 btc * 6 blocks * 24 * ~2000 euro = 3.6 Million
I would suggest to check developments on github or official channels. Active project usually have a lot of activity on github or push out a lot of other developments that are being actively discussed within the crypto community like on slack channels. Another point is: if you cannot reliably measure the progress of a company or project, maybe you should not invest in it or keep the exposure very limited.
If you do not own any bitcoin, get some today. If you already do own and want more, buy the dip. A dip is when China bans bitcoin again :D
"In my view,... and it isn't going to bring about the end of intermediaries".
It already has for some or competes with others. If you pretend its not so you are probably just another (paid) troll.
Don't borrow to invest in something? Ever heard of leverage? Such a stupid argument. How about you talk about why that carries so much risk and teach people something instead of this click bait shit
Much butthurt, such wow :D
Anyone failing to see this magnificent invention for what it is will just hurt him or herself.
If you are going to give anyone else power over your money you are going to have a bad time, simple as that. History pretty much proves this beyond any doubt.
Quote: "“On the other hand, one of the things you’ll see with digital currency is how wildly the value swings. The question is will there ever be a digital currency that is stable enough to become as widely used as a government one."
Right. THe Euro on the other hand is very stable. Just loses 30% of its value in a year. Seems much better then something that appreciates 30% in 1 year. Where does that fine line of definited "Stability" actually start and end?
