Jeff Garzik is increasingly insane. There's only a very small percentage of people wanting 2x, and everyone is looking for an exit. Bcash is a shit show, and funny to watch. The ocsilations only lasted for two rounds until the price ratio didn't work out in their favor. It's very expensive to continue mining. It's also expensive to continue spamming. See the percentage of txs that are Segwit here. http://segwit.5gbfree.com/countsegwit.html https://fork.lol Many of the corporate coup types are moving to ethereum. Thank god. Ethereum is a more natural home for these corporate crazies. Price is at ATHs. Keep calm and bitcoin on. The contention is great for bitcoin. The infighting is great for bitcoin. Gridlock is great for bitcoin. bitcoin Core 0.15 is coming. Bring on the attacks. ----- Music by Joakim Karud

They've lied to their customers and everyone knows it. https://btcmanager.com/misleading-users-bitpay-forked/ Bitmain is the major hurdle for bitcoin. They have huge plans for a brand new chip, and not in bitcoin. https://qz.com/1053799/chinas-bitmain-dominates-bitcoin-mining-now-it-wants-to-cash-in-on-artificial-intelligence/ Bitfury is not going away. They have been the company that Russians are talking to for their new mining operation. Other chip makers are sure to go past GPUs to ASICs in the near future, right as Bitmain is going after a new market. First bitcoin transaction received via satellite. From Adam Back of course. A dawn of a new phase. https://twitter.com/notgrubles/status/899447987163844609 Jeff Garzik and company of B2X aren't going to change the world by copy & pasting Core updates into btc1. Keep bitcoin decentralized. The US Congress is doing what they do, trying to coopt better men's inventions. http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/19/congress-considering-validating-bitcoin/ Be vigilant of the sick fascination with mainstream adoption. Bitcoin will get there on it's own. It doesn't need the govt help. ----- Music by Joakim Karud

Vinny Lingham was on Vortex's Bitcoin Show https://youtu.be/7x5qF7vI-Sc?t=1h31m He was destroyed by Bitcoin Error Log an Gabriel D Vine. Big Tweetstorm by @Soveriegn_ind https://twitter.com/sovereign_ind/status/895036725323608073 He made several good points, like the general consensus claimed by 2x is wack, and Jihan, bitcoincom and ViaBTC have broken the agreement already with BCH. Bitcoin is very healthy here. There's going to be lots of bullish news coming out in the wake of Segwit activation. Call out FUD if you see it. --- Fire and Fury https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bt4t05m_j0 Trump is just using bombasitic language, right back at Kim Jung Un after his crazy statements. Trump is definitely watching Game of Thrones on his vacation. Fed Discontinues Use of Labor Market Index https://mishtalk.com/2017/08/07/feds-labor-market-index-discontinued/ Yellen's favorite jobs indicator is being abandoned because it doesn't fit the narrative. Another example of the Fed not dealing with reality. ----- Music by Joakim Karud

All hurdles have been handled. Break out to new All Time Highs New money waiting on traditional finance to send wires to exchanges. The New Bitcoin Cash https://medium.com/@DanDarkPill/announcing-bitcoin-cash-123c9a2f6be5 Bcash has mined < 100 blocks Block reward isn't spendable until 100 blocks. Watch for more dumping to start as miners can now sell their reward. https://cash.coin.dance/blocks Vinny changes his tune https://twitter.com/VinnyLingham/status/893994774935478273 I was on Adam Meister's Show this friday. I got a little heated when Lorien from South Africa started talking about increasing the block size to be inclusive in Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yImdl_CvBCY Ryan X Charles did a poll on twitter about whether Yours should use Litecoin or Bcash. Idiot. https://twitter.com/AnselLindner/status/893577698064424960 ----- Dead Market Walking http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-05/deadmarketwalking The Swamp is Undrainable - No Shit https://dailyreckoning.com/trump-another-nixon/ Jobs Numbers Released last week for the US, and they showed significant improvement. However, the little secret is that part-time jobs are counted the same as full-time jobs. While part-time jobs increased by 393,000, full-time jobs declined by 54,000. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-04/amazon-effect-part-time-jobs-soar-383k-full-time-jobs-slide ----- Music by Joakim Karud

Bitcoin is free. Tax implications, BTC + BCC for tax purposes. KYC concerns. Exchanges will know where your cold storage real bitcoin is, too. Until there's a better way to sell, like bitsquare or localbitcoins, I won't. Bitch coin - It has come and gone. It was a non-event in my mind. The biggest thing it did was invalidate a lot of Technical Analysis. Overall, bcash is a centralized coin. 10s of nodes on AWS, only a few miners. Bitcoin gets it's value from decentralization and censorship resistance. That's what makes it a good store of value and form of money. Coinmarketcap.com's traffic exceeded FT https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6r4864/coinmarketcap_has_more_traffic_than_ftcom/?st=J5V9M6I0&sh=9ecb5bc6 Great point by Peter Todd, miners aren't in charge in bcash either, so slow blocks won't be the cause of failure. https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/893052242470866944 Poloniex went down and people were getting worried. They've come back from what I can tell. No big altcoin massacre happened, which is suprising. Everyone was looking at bitcoin and bcash. ----- Music by Joakim Karud
