Can someone please explain what the fuck is going on with this piece of shit on Bittrex?

I bought $9000 worth last night @ $900 and now this piece of shit is in the $400 range.

The fuck is up with this coin, should be an easy 0.5BTC value.

right now BCC is practically worthless because its chain has a very high difficulty (BTC's difficulty), but a very small group of miners. This translates to hours between blocks, which translates to incredibly slow transactions.

This problem, however, is only temporary. Eventually after enough blocks are mined, the difficulty will adjust to however miners are actually mining BCC, and it will start functioning as a normal chain again. And it will 100% have faster transactions and lower fees compared to BTC.

Once it has its proper difficulty, I predict there will be a massive spike in its value. This is why I'm not in any rush to sell my BCC, like most people here on /biz/ (do the opposite of /biz/, remember). I don't recommend actually buying BCC, but keeping it I think is going to prove to be a very smart move in the long run.

Mining difficulty is now ~26% of BTC, which means BCH can never be worth more than 0.26 without a dramatic increase in hashpower on the BCH network. Since we're mining fast enough, this difficulty will stay for ~7 weeks until we get a normal retarget (2016 blocks), which means that the price will stay below or at ~0.26 unless hash power takes a dramatic shift. If it DOES take a dramatic shift, we're going to see some hilarious yo-yoing and this might kill both coins. Since there are certain agreements made as part of the NYA originally, this is unlikely to happen.

A lot of people on this board are super mean anon. Here is some advice if I were you.

If this is your first rodeo, before you make another investment like this, I suggest you take the time to research the markets and crypto more. Brush up on the market by reading as many articles as possible from reputable sources. If you are really interested in crypto, every day when you wake up, read the news on what is going on in the industry, and stay up to date on it.

Now onto your BCC. Unless you are desperate for the money because you need liquidity, the best advice I can give you is to hold. If you sell now, you will be at a significant loss. Ride it out until the next wave, and when it peaks again, get out fast.

Always check bittrex 24/7 so you are ready for when it happens, because crypto moves really fast. You will need to be by your computer to execute when it is economically advantageous for you to do so.

It's not legally binding, it's just that all the major players have basically came to a certain consensus. It would ruin them politically, so it is essentially binding in that they'd have no more business in BTC if they were to defect. Some people disagree and that the agreement is all hot air and smoke and mirrors, but I disagree, and if BCH continues with the current hashrate and no major fluctuations in BTC hashrate it means NYA is working as intended in keeping them in check.

When did core say that? Aside from a few specific people, AFAIK Core fully plans to merge 2x on schedule.

Politically I mean NYA was created as a compromise and if one party reneges on the agreement big blockers will fuck off the main net and go back to BCH (they only promised not to BECAUSE of 2x), and then there will be real trouble. BCH itself is basically a pawn in the scaling debate. No 2x means no trust in core and then there will be a real battle of SegWit vs BCH by competing miners.

Then there's the possibility of a third fork of people that does implement SegWit2x entirely.

An entity has been spamming the Bitcoin network for months with low-fee transactions to artificially inflate the transaction fees and create a narrative that Bitcoin is broken and that we /need/ a scaling solution /now/.

There are multiple reasons why this might have occurred, but it's almost certainly a power grab by miners since it began around the time Bitcoin Unlimited was being talked about, and larger blocks leads to miner/node centralization due to bandwidth / latency / storage requirements. Bitcoin Cash is the latest version of this same idea, and with SegWit right around the corner, BCC is a timebomb fueled by greed.

The next iteration of this scam will be Segwit2x if miners try a hard fork.

As SegWit has almost full industry support, one of the main coins I will be looking towards will be LTC as the Lightning Network enables LTC<->BTC tx with no intermediary. If SW2x does not fork, LTC will continue with its "BTC testnet" reputation, but it may receive a small bump as a result of LN hype.

If BTC forks again with SegWit2x, it will likely hinder mainstream adoption and long-term investment. BCH has no support, but GBTC's & Gemini's stance on SW2x will be critical as they will be providing access to BTC to the biggest of big money with options/futures trading in the US.

SegWit will be enabled. More transactions can be processed. Transaction spam is less effective. Price can go further up as more consumer adoption occurs and more faith is given to the platform.

Afterwards, we move onto Schnorr signatures to further reduce the transaction size if SegWit2x hasn't bungled everything up.

For BTC clones: LTC is in a position where it may absorb some of BTC's value due to SegWit activation. See >>2948504

For smart contracts: Ethereum is currently still the best option, although Tezos does look interesting. I'm not knowledgable enough to weigh the pros/cons of them properly, but Ethereum's centralized development team and focus on non-currency applications means it is no Bitcoin.

Eth has the advantage for the platform due to its age, but the lack of vocal support by Ethereum Foundation members for using the public chain to confirm their private transactions makes it a gamble. All the ICOs have been using boilerplate contracts which means that another DAO is always around the corner as Solidity's vulnerabilities haven't been fully explored.

There is also threat of government interference as the SEC has recently released an advisory that the DAO was an unregistered security. This stifles the main hype train (ICOs) for US investors.

Eth has stabilized @ 0.07 BTC:ETH, and I don't think that will change until Metropolis is released. It's still very early on, but people want it to be the "next bitcoin" and it may very well be.

For Anonymous coins: Monero currently holds the title as the most effective Anon coin. ZEC is centralized which is a threat to its own goals.

JP Morgan's Quorum wants to integrate ZCash's zero-knowledge proofs into Ethereum, which will likely give it a boost. Bitcoin's SegWit will also be a boon for anonymity as less data is stored on-chain, which will eat away at Monero's/ZEC's value.

I don't consider any anonymity-focused coins to be long-term holds.

Marketplaces like BitBay have some potential; A decentralized, anonymous exchange is a wet dream for the darknet markets. The current implementations are not good enough though.

I haven't seen much else which I wouldn't consider a gimmicky scam or P&D. Most of the time, it's the same ideas which a web server can provide, but "on the blockchain".

Forgot, but the other topic I'd be interested in is decentralized data storage.

SIA is my bet, as its team seems the least likely to implode. They tackle some extremely hard problems which this thread may give you more insight to: >>/biz/thread/2648442

StorJ is, again, centralized although it has a nice marketing team. I'm unsure on Filecoin, but from what I've read, it's not something I'd consider for long-term.

SIA's overvalued as it doesn't have much of a real use-case atm, but within the next 2-3 years, it has real potential for enterprise-grade storage.

You're right, I am. The cons of bigger blocks are significant and lead to a centralized ecosystem. This harms the overall health of crypto.

SegWit, sidechains, and tx size reductions via Schnorr all accomplish the same thing as "bigger blocks" through optimization, rather than brute forcing it with more resources.

After all those avenues have been exhausted is when bigger blocks are necessary.

The difficulty is based on BTC's, and will be scaled accordingly after a while.
It's completely normal for BCC to be stalling now, since its blockchain has the difficulty of BTC, while having a fraction of the mining power.

As soon as the difficulty adjusts, BCC is going to go up. I don't mean MOON MOON MOON like a retard, just that there's going to be a boost fueled by "Ohey, it works, I should get on this before other people get in on the possible hype!"

If you're too stupid to recognize that full nodes need an economic incentive to run and that node count has been dropping as a result of it being from charity, then your opinions are irrelevant too.

But hey, don't take my word for it, let's see what Jihan Wu has to say:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj5mN0E-sZA&feature=youtu.be&t=1535

>"Most of the crypto currencies right now have an inflation, bitcoin have an inflation right? It's the block reward. Ethererum have an inflation. Almost all crypto currency have an inflation.
Inflation is some new token were generated and injected into the circulation of the economy without any reasons, just designed by so, to provide economic incentives, or to because we need some tokens in circulation.

>For proof of work chain in the past, all inflation income belongs to miners. But we have seen that right now a few such kind of blockchain start to share the inflation with miners and the coin holders for some reasons. For example, one competing chain shares it because the holders set up full node and the full node provides some kind of [unintelligible] and fungability service for the community. I think this is quite interesting.

>Basically right now, ethererum start to build pow/pos hybrid system. This kind of system if you [unintelligible] if you look through the saying. Basically this miners and coin holders are sharing the inflation revenue together.

>I don't know how bitcoin can do that, if we do it a simple way maybe we can do some kind of soft fork do it, but I really don't know how to do it exactly the best way. But this is something emerging, its new, I do believe its good."

Really don't understand people hodling.

Let's say you have x amount of shitcoin and you see the price drops, you have few choices:

-sell at acceptable loss (meaning convert into fiat or some other more stable shitcoin)

pros: you prepared for the loss, didn't get caught off guard, you still have something to play around with
cons: if you do this all the time, you get eaten up by fees, conversion rates and just bleed slowly while learning nothing from your impatience.

-hodl
pros: good if you don't actually care about your whole investment and good if the market is panicking and acting all irrational. Also you save on various fees and there is way less micromanagement.
cons: shitcoin never recovers or it stays low for longer than you can afford to wait (especially bad if you care about your investment).

What seems to make people lean towards hodling is the attempt to avoid looking stupid by selling at a lower price than buying same coin later at higher price. In my opinion, it's because people fixate attention at a number and don't understand underlying price trend. If I bought some btc today at 2,7k usd, I'll put up a red line at say 2,5k usd and sell it if it goes there, losing 200 usd. But then I might buy it a month from now at 3k if I expect it to go to 3,5k or higher.

Or think of it this way. If you have the coin and you know the price is gonna go up, wouldn't you want to have more of it? This likely means you will have to add more to your portfolio at a price higher than what you bought before. So it's only logical to want to have less of the coin that's going down.

tldr: hodl is a meme

While it's better to try to acquire more assets by liquidating at good times, not a lot of people have the skills to do so. You're right though sempai; holding is a meme sourced from Bitcoin's meteoric rise. It has been the only strategy with a guaranteed return because BTC has a competent team, innovation, brand power, and is highly desirable thanks to its finite nature.

While rising tides raise all ships, sometimes coins really do just fail. Moonkids can't recognize a shitcoin if it slapped them in the face thanks to greed.
