So, it is already here. it was to be expected. the market do not want a fork and it shows it with a big fall and the market will be in this mood until the situation clears out. The fork will be imposed anyway because...reasons. pick the one you like. Your prefered excuse won't change the situation we are to face until mid August.

Now, the question, looking forward is, will the bitcoin participants learn something from this? is there any change to be expected on how bitcoin will develop in the future? is a change even desirable?

my impression is that as it is, bitcoin governance is better than free beer for propagandists and I do not see why this would change any time soon. Reason is dead.

This is the most ham-fisted and poorly thought out OP post about the August fork that I have seen yet, and I have seen some absolutely trash-tier threads from months (and even close to a year now) ago.

When you can prove that this crash was because of the news of the fork on the way and not because the entire market was in a bubble that was waiting to pop, where the market generated $74B USD in value over the course of a month, then we can talk. But this is nothing more than a market wide correction which was created by new crypto getting in on the gold rush and trying to make money. Someone started selling and everyone else did.

My impression is you haven't been here long enough to know both sides of a story, nor extrapolate. Do you think Bitcoin hit $2,900 because people love Bitcoin for what it is?

I arrived yesterday, nevertheless I beg to dissagree.
A correction was last week. This fall in 24 hours and little sign to think that confidence can be restored before the end of the month is a different beast. Just look on previous corrections. you might have that data, I happen to have arrived just yesterday.
maybe, this is all created by the "buy bitcoin" banner-guy on the news.
