This thread will be dedicated to the block size limit crisis and how they try to solve it. http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/2/11146584/bitcoin-core-classic-debate-transaction-limit-crisis There is a really good discussion about it with good analogies here: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/48rac0/bitcoins_nightmare_scenario_has_come_to_pass/
Yep, heard it's a big problem but politics (within the BitCoin movers and shakers) is gridlocking the right decisions that have to be made. Some big time BTer (don't knowhis name but easy to find out), recently left the arena and sold all his coins because he can't see a future with all the problems on the horizon. Some have said he was right, others said he's just having a childish fit because things didn't go the way he suggested. I don't know which one is right, probably a bit of both. Whatever the case, if you own coins or follow the market you better concentrate on what's happening behind the scenes.
So isnt this finally the chance for some perspective alt coins? Like Vanilla, Dash, Ethereum etc? Bitcoin is not only crypto currency.. it was only the first, but it means it has very old and limited technology.. I think its time for change.
Sure, load up on them. I like Classic and XT. Just kidding, I like coins backed by retailers. Oh, they don't exist yet. Hey, one ponzi at a time, get in line.
....that would negate a key benefit of decentralization: very little counterparty risk. you may have to wait until Fedcoin comes out. Oh wait, that would be a ponzi. doh![/QUOTE]
