SegWit2x Cancelled, No Short-Term Uncertainty

...the cancellation of the SegWit2x hard fork eliminated any uncertainty surrounding the mid-term performance of bitcoin and most importantly, eliminated the possibility of a split chain by the end of 2017. As such, many analysts including Mayer, Max Keiser, and Tom Lee have predicted the bitcoin price to achieve the $8,000 mark by the end of this year.

According to a report by Nikkei, 4,500 large-scale stores and merchants already accept bitcoin as a payment method in Japan, including leading retailers, airlines, hotels, and even restaurants. That number is expected to increase by five-fold, to 25,000, by the end of 2017.

The buyers rarely understand what they are getting. Because of that they will use different marketing approaches and customer service. The good buyers will be lucky to keep 50% of the customers. Other buyers may decide to take the idea and tangibles such as domain names, and rebuild from scratch. In either case it sure is hard watching your baby get sold off and changed.

Looks fine to me. Dashboard came right up. Also, I have an extension that shows their price constantly and it was changing all day.
