I see. As far as I understand it, it will happen in August and will be implemented so that Bitcoin transaction speeds will be upgraded. Depending on the outcome of the upgrade, Bitcoin might take a hit as there is a fair chance that Bitcoin will be split, not unlike ETH and ETC. Most wallets and exchanges will be ready for the split. If you are a previous owner of Bitcoin, when the split happens, you will own both versions of the coin.
Depends how much of speculative capital was pumped into Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin will get more stable when more people start using it as a currency (to pay for products and services) and not as another forex like casino.
Yikes... sounds like I need to educate myself better. I bought Ethereum Classic because they didn't budge on principle - I liked that. Now I'm wondering if I should own any type of Ethereum at all.
I love how people are still comparing ethereum with bitcoin
as if they are competing against each other :D
anyone hear of the new version of bitcoin coming out? Or has production of that ceased?
Are you talking about the August 1st uasf?

LOOK AT HOW DESPERATE THEY ARE .
THIS IS REAL FUN.
I thought I read last week ETH controlled by illuminati.
He woke up one morning and realized all his wealth was in virtual currency credits.

At least Coinbase Is reversing transactions that will help here

I am not worried about Bitcoin, I am worried about the gullible who will believe this nonsense.

My bet is it will be used to vote in the next general election. Dont run just yet.
I agree, Ethereum is just taking a break before the next leg up on its way past BTC.
