@JJG, don't be like BJA, it's not a crisis where everything explodes and fails all at once... it's a slow bleed away of utility and potential.

I'm hardly like BJA because I am not really trying to sell anything or to talk my book or to brag in various ways,... which BJA seems to attempt a lot.

Surely, I am overall bullish about bitcoin, and I am expecting it's price to go upwards in the longer term (and so I do not buy any supposed "bleed" hypothesis, but I do not really know and I am open to learn if the evidence seems to support that direction.

Accordingly, I participate in these forums in order to be interactive in my learning with other participants about bitcoin and discussing my attempts to invest in accordance with my perspective and my risk profile, and if the evidence begins to support that I need to shift my investment or to reallocate towards some other crypto, then I don't have a problem doing that, if I am able to identify it soon enough to make such a move seem feasible (which sometimes, there may be transfer expenses and losses).

I am not engaging in discussions in this forum in any attempt to push the short term BTC price direction and/or to propagandize regarding any kind of short term bet that I may have or trying to compete with anyone regarding whether I am correct in my views or regarding my BTC holdings and/or my claims to profits. Accordingly, if I can learn from various posts, then I find that helpful.

In recent times, I had claimed to be neutral regarding whether a hard fork needed to occur and even regarding the possible implementation of classic or XT... but as time has evolved and I have read up about these potential pushes towards a hard fork, I have gone over to viewing those pushes for hardforks as being overly coercive, unnecessary and bully type behavior. My mind is not closed on the topic; however, that seems to be my current leanings, especially coming from some readings of threads in the forum and my participation as well.
