You have no idea what you are talking about. Kys immediately.

>>7525482
Expanding on the second point, the only thing Bitcoin solves is the double spending problem(look it up). Signed transactions in a ledger is nothing revolutionary. Bitcoin is revolutionary because it doesn't require trust to keep the ledger in check, which it does via PoW. The network rules(size of a block, reward in a block, difficulty etc.) are irrelevant since any miner who breaks them will fork themselves to another network. It is in no one's interest to break them. However, miners with enough hashpower can rewrite the ledger with no consequences, and "full" nodes(with no hashpower) can't do JACK SHIT about it. "Full" nodes simply blindly accept whichever chain has the most proof of work.
I'm not even going to go into RBF which gimped zeroconf transactions.
The hard truth is, Blockstream is a company, and they're gimping the actual blockchain in order to sell their proprietary solutions to companies. It's sad to see the direction BTC is taking. /r/bitcoin is a prime example of the censorship that is going on.
Look all of this shit up and you'll agree that Bitcoin Cash is the legitimate Bitcoin.

>inb4 called a shill
I own no BTC and no BCH. Bitcoin(either one) has no future as a mainstream currency.
If you have a rebuttal against my arguments, please reply.

I wrote this by hand(granted, I edited a shorter version I posted yesterday). If you have an actual rebuttal against the points I make, please go ahead.

> The full story of /r/bitcoin - info about Blockstream, etc:

https://archive.is/kRLn4

"Shortly after Blockstream came active on the scene, every single anti-bitcoin troll on /r/bitcoin disappeared. In the years before that, there were a large number of anti-bitcoin trolls. Up until last year, you could go down to the bottom of pretty much any thread in /r/bitcoin and see many of the usual trolls who were heavily downvoted for saying things like "bitcoin is shit" and "you guys and your tulips" etc. But then suddenly they all disappeared. Instead, a new type of people appeared - people who said they were fully in support of bitcoin, but they just so happened to support every single thing Blockstream and its employees said and did. They had the exact same tone as the anti-Bitcoin trolls who had disappeared. Their way of talking to people was aggressive, they'd call people names, they had a relatively poor understanding of how bitcoin fundamentally worked."

FACTS:

Blockstream receives their funding from AXA Strategic Ventures (owned by Henri de Castries). And from Digital Currency Group - a venture capital firm whose board director is Glenn Hutchins of the Fed Reserve Bank. MasterCard also invested in DCG.

Nobody will fall for your retarded bitcoin propaganda conspiracy and bcash shill. Bcash sucks and the marketing and community won't trick me, they can hoard all brainless naive faggots but us smart people see through their bullshit.

>muh bcash is the original bitcoin

No idiot kys. It's a fork so altcoin

>>7526423

BTC, after Blockstream took control over it, /that/ is the fork.

BCH is the original Bitcoin, free from Blockstream's control. Uncorrupted.

>>7526468
No you brainless, spineless, retard. Make your own conclusion. Compare pre-fork, post-rock and NOW. It's bcash deceptive marketing tricking low intelligent people like you.

>>7526569
So in other words you don't have a real argument.

THAT is what Bitcoin is! Exactly that.

And that description does NOT describe BTC anymore. BTC (since Blockstream took control of it) is going in the opposite direction of that description. Blockstream is turning it into the opposite it of what it's supposed to be.

And in fact, Blockstream paid shills are now even trying to change people's "perception" or "idea" of what Bitcoin is supposed to be. They want people to now think "Bitcoin was not meant to be a currency" and that it only is supposed to be an investment and a store of value for rich people, and nothing else.

So they come here and write shit like "it's not a currency" and make fake threads like these:

Love seeing more of these type of post here as more people are waking up to see the truth and reality as we move forward. Roger continually says that this year Cash will replace Core as dominant market cap coin, I think he knows why more than any core shill here.

Don't be ridiculous. I have nothing against the project itself bcash but their retarded gimmick and advertising is stupid and malicious.
Bcash is a fork from bitcoin thus just as much bitcoin as diamond or gold.

>ASICBoost, the reason why Bitmain blocked Segwit.
>Bitmain produces around ~70% of all miners and put quite a few companies out of business.
>Mining is a small profit margin business, if 1 company can boost its profits by 30% that is significant and get up to an extra $100 million per year.

>>7525482
>having hubs that are central points of failure is horrible for censorship resistance. Regarding future issues, it's likely that according to US regulations at least that LN hubs will be classified as 3rd party settlement organizations
As if regulation is a bad thing. Blosckstream is already working to make the hubs compatible with law: http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/Shyft-Introduces-Revolutionary-Blockchain-Based-KYC-AML-Network-For-Global-Economy-1015123156
BTC will never be adopted without being a regulated bank. What could an investor hope for more than the blessing of the banks and governments?

>>7525536
The LN isn't a 2nd layer, it's really a new PoS fork of BTC. It'll be BTC 2.0, backed up by the old ledger but using completely new solutios.

>>7528638
And so the narrative shifts, "LIGHTNING WILL MAKE BITCOIN DECENTRALISED FOREVER AND TRUE TO THE CYPERPUNK VISION BCASH IS A SCAM BY BIG CORPORATES" becomes "Of course lightning will shift Bitcoin to ground where it can be bought under the necessary regulation, AMLKYC compliance and other essential features will be implemented" all the while ignoring that this is exactly what the Bitcoin Cash guys said would happen.

>>7525586
Why didn't they make Bitcoin Copper Private Cash with all of the pros of all? We need more forks, that will help with the scarcity.

>>7527509
That is NOT what bitcoin is. It always was a pump and dump, you can't explain 200B MC of a product which nobody uses for anything otherwise.

>>7527596
Nobody is using XLM.

>>7525482
>needing to adopt bitcoin, then segwit, and then LN, and then probably KYC compliance

Yo dawg, I heard you like to cripple adoption. So we put adoption in your adoption so you can adopt while you adopt.

GEE IT SURE IS CONVENIENT TO USE BLOCKSTREAM CORE

I didn't know there were so many bch supporters here...

>>7527596
Ding ding ding. XLM is the future. Like I said here >>7525536, BTC/BCH(or any coin which uses PoW for that matter) does not have a future as a mainstream currency, simply because PoW is flawed. PoW is linearly broken, will always be an arms race of better performing hardware, and is extremely inefficient. XLM uses a federated Byzantine agreement, which reaches consensus within seconds without any staking/mining going on. It's efficient as fuck, and federated means the network is not under control by an entity like Ripple. The Stellar network can carry any kind of other currencies/tokens as well.
The future(let's say 20 years from now) will have 3 main cryptocurrencies:

XLM for mainstream use. You would use XLM to pay for your cup of coffee and your Amazon order.
XMR for privacy use. You would use XMR to pay for your baggie of heroin on a DNM.
ETH(will most likely be replaced by a better alternative) + LINK for smart contracts. Self explanatory.

Ethereum will either undergo massive revamps or be forgotten. EVM is a clusterfuck. Unsafe math in a smart contract language? Seriously?

>>7528638
Why even use crypto if it requires all these things? srs question

>>7528785

You Blockstream shills will continue to try deceive people into believing Bitcoin is what Blockstream says it is. You count on people being ignorant, for your deception to work.

Blockstream only cares about the name "Bitcoin" -- they don't give a shit about the technology. The entire purpose of the Blockstream takeover, is to destroy what Bitcoin is intended to be. The more you change Bitcoin, the less it is Bitcoin. Today, BTC is approximately half intact, half destroyed; it's half of what Bitcoin is meant to be. A few years from now after Blockstream is finished with it, it will be fully destroyed - the only thing BTC will have in common with Bitcoin will be the name. And that's all that matters to Blockstream.

BTC is is not Bitcoin anymore. BTC is Blockstream Coin. It is the Banker Coin - that's what they're turning it into.

Bitcoin on the other hand, that is the currency of the Internet. A distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money.

Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without the need for any central authority whatsoever.

There is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank.

You look at BTC as an investment vehicle. Notice how I never said anything about which one of BTC or BCH would succeed financially. I'm looking at Bitcoin as a revolution of money. That is the difference between you and me.
Also, if you want a controlled coin, go invest in Ripple.

So you admit that with the introduction of Lightning Network, you guys are creating a piece of shit fork. Why would we want a piece of shit fork of Bitcoin? When we can stay with the original Bitcoin (now called BCH) which has super low fees, is super fast, and doesn't need to be fixed/patched with LN or other bullshit, and doesn't need any of the regulation and corporate control that comes with LN etc.

You're basically trying to sell people a rotten meal full of flies and maggots in it, for a high cost, when people can get a normal, non-rotten meal, for free.

>>7526239
Just some research you limp dicked faggot. Blockstream main investor is the DCG (digital currency group) and when you look at their advisors and founders it's full of fucking jews, wall street big heads and bankers from the FED. You srsly think they want btc to replace banking? Think again.

Most of you dont understand that Cash is not like other forks of Bitcoin, and there are many. Cash is the only one that can replace Bitcoin as they share the same Hashpower and Miners.

>LN payments are encrypted
Get a load of this retard. All businesses will have to comply with KYC. They won't accept privacy routed payments. The only work around for this is for you and a friend setup a Onion routed channel together and you route payments through him. You stay anon, but he doesn't. So it doesn't actually help anyone because A) nobody will assume the risk of routing potentially illegal transactions and B) even if they do assume the risk, they're going to jail for falsifying KYC on top of an already illegal transaction.

>who cares kys
U mad bro?

>>7532336
>All businesses will have to comply with KYC. They won't accept privacy routed payments.

Just like no business accepts cash right? You're so fucking retarded I can't even find the proper adjective.

>>7532491
Using cash isn't the same as a payment processor, brainlet. That's why crypto doesn't require KYC now. jfc

I'm being serious.

I'm not really "in" crypto, I bought BTC when it was cheap and put it on a paper wallet and kind of forgot about it for a while.

Big blocks scale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbD0kiTddEs

2nd layer shit is ok ////as a minor part of the network//// aka a channel between bittrex/binance/coinbase etc but not for every day use. Aka you use it for super high volume, persistant transactions but when the fucking blocks are full then EVERYONE is forced to use it. Its fucking RETARDED because its literally just the internet style connectinos as a second layer. You plan on running a lightning node? Cute, now whats it gonna connect to? You ahve to have a super fucking well connected node to actually reach the place you want to go. So what does that mean? You're gonna pay a fucking monthly fee the BlockstreamTM supernode service or ComcastTM supernode service or AT&T supernode service so they can reroute your payments with high channel liquidity and highly connect nodes. You really think this is the future? Wake the fuck up core cucks. You've been fucking hijacked and you're letting politics blind you like rabid dogs. Its honestly reminiscent of liberals in the 2016 election screaming muh racism muh bigotry muh nazis like headless sheep

Make no mistake, the true OG ancap and libertarians that were the early crypto adopters are all anti BTC core cuckoldry

>>7529820
I wouldn't and it doesn't. A hot dog stand can be used to launder money so we need to implement KYC for every hotdog purchase. They are trying to abolish cash in order to do this but crypto promises the ease of use of card payments with the anonymity of cash and we can't have that so they will find every excuse to try to legislate crypto until it doesn't work. Meanwhile countries that aren't desperate and backwards police states will embrace the power crypto gives to its citizens.

>>7533779
Download a Bitcoin Cash wallet. Load up the private key you have for Bitcoin Core and just like that you now have access to your forked coins.

>>7533896
Thanks buddy. And also thanks for not calling me a faggot

I think it's pretty obvious the the convict is loose again.. I've noticed a lot of idiotic pointless points that only the fugitive seems to obsess over, and I think we can all agree, it's time for him to turn himself in, and go home to Tyrone.

It's astonishing how people ITT will still defend Blockstream/Bitcoin Core even when they continue to stifle any innovation for Bitcoin. Counterparty (XCP) was ready to implement smart contract functionality and Blockstream did everything they can to block them for attaining this because XCP required on-chain scaling. Luke-jr even blacklisted Counterparty transactions in one of the previous Bitcoin Core releases. Vitalik Buterin was ready to develop smart contract functionality for Bitcoin but he saw how bad XCP was treated and instead opted to make his own altcoin - Ethereum. Yes, that same altcoin that now has the second largest marketcap and is slowly eclipsing Bitcoin was completely unncessary if Blockstream weren't a bunch of kikes and allowed for on-chain scaling.

Now Blockstream has done fuck all to make improvements to Bitcoin since 2013 yet the delusion among Blockstream fanboys stays strong with the supposed implementation of the Lightning Network. LN is vaporware and will never see mainstream adoption, because adoption is stifled by default thanks to the 1MB block size limit and low tp/s. It'll take decades to get a billion people on the Lightning Network. And what does LN boil down to? Essentially swapping IOUs that still need to be settled on-chain. With a 1MB block size limit. Oh, and your Bitcoins can get stolen too if your node loses connection for whatever reason.

Bitcoin could sit mighty on his throne with >90% market dominance if it weren't for Blockstream stifling innovation. As of today Bitcoin sits at a measly 35% market dominance.

>>7533970

also, muh block limit. Fucking learn about the tech idiot, or at least find out that btrash doesn't even use a whole mb on literally 99% of it's tx's
