Aren't something approaching 100% of those stories pulled from the headlines? (Not disagreeing with you that they would also make good training cases.)

An Apple Watch as a kind of iPhone Lite, not supplementing your phone but actually replacing it, could be an attractive option for a lot of people. Most of my extended family members don't use any apps, don't use their phones for

I had to know more so I looked up how they made those screenshot maps in Nintendo Power: "That machine that we had at Work House in Tokyo looked like a VCR or something. It was huge. They'd hook it up to the game system, and then

I'm actually surprised that it's as low as 50% of unicorns playing these valuation games.

Having Big Blockers off on their own chain instead of causing headaches for the Bitcoin legacy chain is probably increases the value of BTC by about 15%, so the math works out. (I'm being a little flippant here, but on a serious note w

Good call. I've only ever read this and, interestingly, the semi-related Dole article, but they were both superb. Subscribed.

This is the most clear and concise explanation I've seen. Bravo Mr Levine[1]. It's worth noting that some people tried to pull this off because Bitfinex's official communications seemed to clearly state that this is how T

Fair enough, we'll all find out in due course. The constant flow of comments where people are trying to equate this particular hard fork (the end result of a very long and messy civil war) with any old Joe creating his own BTC fork is

My point is that there is no driver for the price to crash. There will not suddenly be a surprise supply of BCH found that will flood the market. Everyone knows that there is 1 BCH for every BTC out there, and that almost none of that is cu

by thefalcon 9y ago
You're saying that people buying BCH right now aren't aware that there's a huge glut of supply waiting to flood the market, and aren't taking this into account in their buying decisions? There is no need for anyone to ha

This line of argument makes little sense. In the markets that do offer a way to buy and sell it, there's still a market setting the price. This idea that there will be totally different market forces at work once more people have acces

This isn't Timmy from accounting splitting off from Apple. This is the iPad division splitting off from Apple. If I'm holding Apple stock, I sure as hell expect to end up holding iPad stock in the event of a split.

I can't imagine they'll continue to ignore the third largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Also it would be crazy for them to have encouraged their users to withdraw BTC prior to the fork if they were insolvent. I imagine it will

The latter part of this comment seems to confuse BCC/BCH with BTC.

Talking heads like to say Apple needs major changes and to blow everyone out of the water. Apple knows they just need to keep making incremental changes and keep up with demand and they will [continue to] achieve insane sales.

It has the momentum and the majority mining (hash) power behind it, which is the most important thing in a cryptocurrency using proof of work. That said, nothing in this life is actually certain, and major flaws in Segwit could be found tha

That's the crux of it. BCC is truly the end result of the years long civil war within Bitcoin, and so represents a significant minority of users and miners who really wanted larger blocks over Segwit and are willing to put their money

The comments here (which overall are measured and reasonable relative to elsewhere) lead me to believe that this "us vs them" combative mentality will continue. It seems as long as there are two chains, supporters of one will stil
