We put so much emphasis and discussion on Bitcoin in this thread.

You do realize Ethereum almost hit $900 dollars today?

It just seems like that little side guy that nobody pays attention to but yet continues to get bigger and bigger.

I'm thinking of trading my bit of bitcoin for ethereum.

What is the point to hold bitcoin now? It's not really usable as a currency.

And here we go again. 

Yeah, it grew 1300% (due to pure speculation) in one year therefore it will grow at least 500% the next year. Nice logic.  ::)

Every asset price is a function of “speculation”.

Nice logic.

It’s more usable than gold or sliver as a currency. I would suggest thinking of it more as a store of value. We will likely see offshoots though that are more used as currency for daily transactions.

Exciting technology that is applicable to the economy.

lol wat ???

Do you really think other assets are affected by speculation to the same degree as bitcoin?

Is it normal for you to see an asset appreciate 1200% a year?

You're delusional.

All assets are speculative. Bitcoin more than some and less than others.

Hope that helps. Reality, not delusion.

It just gets my juices flowing.

Bitcoin has a block size of 1 megabyte and bitcoin cash has 8 megabytes. The blocks are where transactions get recorded, on a "blockchain" which is a series of blocks connected in time one after the other. These blocks are made every 10 minutes or so.

This means during times of large amounts of transactions (like the past few months), the Bitcoin 1 MB block gets filled up quickly and there are lots of left over transactions that end up in a buffer until the next block. People who pay the highest fees get priority. This is why fees are so high and transactions slow with bitcoin because so many people are bidding with fees to get the transaction confirmed quickly.

If you put a fee too low, your transaction might take days or weeks to get into the next block. If you want your transaction to make it in the next 10 minutes block you need a $20 fee at the moment due to too much demand on the system.

Bitcoin Cash has 8 MB block, so at the moment every transaction gets recorded into the next block within 10 minutes with a few cents fee because there is so much space in the block.

That's the main difference. Bitcoin is pretty much useless for buying stuff due to the fees and slowness. Bitcoin cash works much better for that.




Ok thanks, so just invest money in both? Haha

Yes. Both. Buy bitcoin and hold any forks, derivatives and modifications.

So invest the same in each or is there an advantage long term one over the other?

Peter Thiel starts to invest in Bitcoin ...

www.coindesk.com/report-founders-fund-boasts-hundred-million-dollar-return-with-bitcoin-bet/

“Thiel was quoted saying he believes the critics of bitcoin are "underestimating" the cryptocurrency and that bitcoin is like gold – meaning it has more potential as a long-term store of value than as an everyday payment method.”

Not familiar with that particular machine but yes bitcoin ATM machines are popping up all over the place. You can buy and sell btc via these machines in any country. Easy.

Coinme.com ATM fee is 10% to buy bitcoins
Thoughts on the fee?
About right?
Too much?

Also what happens if the ATM is removed from the mall?

Can you continue to have access to your money in your coinme wallet?
To purchase and sell using your coinme wallet on the internet??
 Are your able to use your coinme wallet to buy from other companies?
Example coinbase etc...

Like I said several pages ago, blipcoin has been played out. 

The crypto gamblers are moving into the lower cost coins. 

The human greed factor is very seductive... and foolish.   

All of this will eventually end... badly.

Guy has billions and wants more money.  Pure greed.  Peter the great can afford to lose 20 million dollars if blipcoins go to zero.
