Cheers!

How come BTC price drops? ETH price dropped before hardfork. Panic, FUD….

And what happened? ETH went from sub $10 to over $50, after the hardfork, and people got free ETC on top of that. Currently at $2 or a little less.

So pricewise, the hardfork was the best thing that ever happened to ETH. In fact if BTC splits into BTC and BTU, then that BTC may be worth $5000 and BTU maybe $200, a year from now.

Mind you, a hardfork means you get the same number of coins in both forks, so no matter which sides wins you are fine.  Grin

Yeah, maybe, in the long run, that may benefit us. But, we still don’t know what will happen. We can’t compare ETH to BTC and hope that the same thing happened to ETH will also happen to BTC. My concern right now is that these issues create FUD to the people and make them sell their BTC in a much lower price. It creates chaos that we shouldn’t have in the first place. Let’s just hope that this will be solved the sooner. Transactions are being filed up everyday. Problems are already arising from this.

Jesus Christ lad. I’m not opposing hard forks but your logic is way off.

How do you know what the ETH price would be if they had never forked? How do you know it wouldn’t be >$100 by now?
If it generates free money, why don’t they, or any other altcoin, fork every month making everyone a millionaire? No such thing as free lunch.

You’re also forgetting that ETH was on early stage of development with zero adoption outside of exchanges, which made the hf easier to manage.

The hard fork nearly killed ETH. It stayed at half the value it had last Spring for more than 6 months. It only recovered this month. Also, there was more support for the hard fork at ETH than there is now for BU. We sure can hope for the best, but a hard fork is a risky move.

ETH:
Mining centralization: Check.
Developer centralization: Check.
Capitalist centralization: Check.
Scalability issues: Check.


You can’t directly compare a HF on a centralized scam coin to a HF on a decentralized and immutable coin.

I see.

All the above is true for BTC as well. Talking about immutability, ETC is immutable and is now worth 5% of ETH.

We bitcoiners should not critizise the scalability issue of other coins, not really…try an ETH and a BTC transfer and see which one is faster  Cheesy
