Look at blockchain, about 50% of the waiting transactions are for ~$0.20 worth of BTC with ~7$ of fees on top of it. WHAT THE FUCK.

It doesn't make sense, looks like someone found a new way of deliberately manipulating the price of the currency and is forcing it on all of us.

What the fuck is going on?

I'm all for making some gains on BCH right now, but there's definitely something nasty as fuck going on here which I feel might undermine the public trust in cryptocurrencies and kill them all in one swift move.

I'm scared bros.

What do you mean? Even if BTC falls to 1.5k it won't change the fact that it's still going to be prone to these kinds of new coordinated attacks (which I believe we're witnessing right now).

From my knowledge only ETH will come out of it unscathed.

How is buying tons of BTC with a 100x loss a rational way of expressing your trust in BCH?

This is some deliberate exploit which will have significant consequences on all cryptocurrencies.

>> No.4299668

>>4299593
I don't get how anyone could construe off-chain transactions as "centralized". If anything this is a decentralized concept, since not everything has to happen within the main chain which there can only be one of.

It's most definitely a spam attack and if the Segcoin chain can't survive it then it doesn't deserve to exist.

Segcore and their cum guzzlers are more than welcome to return the favor, but good luck trying to overload the 8mb blocks.

Irrelevant. All that matters is that it is distributed among many nodes

On top of that, there's literally nothing going on in the BCH blockchain. People are buying the currency but not using it at all. BCH will get destroyed in 24h. How is this not a scam?

A single chain is still centralized to whatever group has the most hashpower to generate it - indeed, we already had cases where large mining groups were exploiting this. Having everything on many nodes only improves redundancy.

"Real Bitcoin" which nobody was using in the last few months and is dead as a currency even now. It's a coin which is used against it basic purpose, does this make any sense to any of you? It's nice to ride the wave, but as soon as it ends, it ends.

I think I'll just move to ETH until this all calms down. This is all too fishy.

guys, no need to be emotional over a coin. is the bch sudden rise fishy? yes. is segwitcoin core corrupt? yes.

we are all in this for the money, currently btc is worth more. if bch overtakes it, you can jump ship because it will be more profitable and you don't want to own a losing coin.

at this point, it is just gambling, wether you will earn extra profits on bch rise, or lose if it turns out to be a p'n'd. be smart and minimize your loss, not chase profits. there will be plentiful times to do that, cheers

This event pretty much has proven a new recipe for instant gains - instead of putting sell walls whales will just buy/sell in thousands of tiny little chunks which will clog the blockchain and cause a huge wave of panic selling.
