Yes I agree, it is a bit murkier in Bash (Bitcoin Cash). It is one month now. So the price settled around $600 USD. Still quite a remarkable situation. What now? I feel the Segwit situation is quite the time-bomb. Developers or media (news, Coindesk etc) keep praising Segwit and Core developers or whoever were the last developers the past 1 year in the main project. But the rhetoric of blaming miners, or mining pools, or specifically blaming China miners, is not nice. Mining is quite the most capitalist model - anyone could mine. Then it slowly shaped up to who should mine together, then became this way. If for instance, it was amazing to mine in Greenland, and Greenland had incidentally a remarkable engineering population and low priced electricity or silicon or they are so advanced they used palladium to create toasters to mine bitcoins.
Anyway, cut it short (sorry) - if you were the miners who were wrongly accused of centralization or being "baddie" now is a perfect storm or perfect chance to proof without talking. By mining another route. CUrrent route is Bitcoin Cash, though it is not as profitable - since NoSignature Bitcoin now went up $1000-$1500 before August.
The Segwit2X group, if they made it happen, will give the impetus for miners to be free - emancipated from this labelling of manipulation. Why not? Why won't you abandon those who accused you of wrongdoings?
Hmmm. It is a complicated situation. Bitcoin in general is so divided among the forks and people with different ideas that it's hard for me to even talk about it. I just enjoy the Litecoin community where many are HODLing and together til it reaches the moon. But the Bitcoin tension is nothing to ignore so I will continue to do my research. Thanks for the input!
Good news for you, Litecoin went up a bit today - bet you knew it. My Litecoins became Ethereum about a week ago. So, life! Yes the fun part too is the research, the mystery (who is the Japanese?!), the baddie/goodie, the surprise, it's all looking much like entertainment, drama, Silicon Valley, Game of Thrones or even WWE! I call it BBE. Bitcoin Blockchain Entertainment.
haha. It really is. It' a whole pot of emotions and fun mixed together with a hint of financial gains mixed in. I've been enjoying the ride so far.
