Re: Bitcoin XT has code which downloads your IP address to facilitate blacklisting
I can actually tell you right now 
Fees will be raised !
Yes, I'm sure about this. Fees will be raised ! And then you will hear users screaming around because they are paying up to 1$ or more (some thinks that it's ok to pay 20$) to get confirmations.
For some, the confirmation will arrive after hours or days.
What do you think that will happen after this? Do you think that users will continue to use Bitcoin or just one of the other 500 alternatives? (and there are some that are pointing to take the place of Bitcoin)
Less users = higher price?
I think NOT
Some of you have no clue about all of this
(or are in bad faith, maybe you just own other coins ...)Where did you get the impression that transactions was all the rage in Bitcoin?
An important majority of coins are actually sitting pretty in cold storage/paper wallets some untouched for several years already.
We're a long way from 1$ fees anyway.
Do you think that more users = necessarily higher price?
Maybe, just maybe you're not thinking this through properly?
