Right now we see a 10% pump of Bitcoin, anyone could explain me the reason? Isn't it going to dump this weekend?
Isn't it obvious? Where have you been for the last 3-4 months?
We are about to get segwit and this is the first time that we came so close. If we activate segwit, scaling debates will end for another 2-3 years. That's the reason.
At a minimum we *should* be OK until Nov/Dec when ChinaCoin/Ver/etc. might try to fork BTC again. Still, I do not see their logic, they split BTC, everyone loses, everyone loses BIG, including them.
That also assumes SegWit implements OK and there a re no serious bugs.
Still, BTC just crossed $2500, up $150 since I woke up (visiting Europe). Confidence is returning IMO.
Well, they are also underestimating their support, like Mike Hearn did. They get so power hungry and lose perspective on the reality. Most people
only support them now, because they want a end to the scaling issues. They still want Bitcoin to succeed... not some Alt Coin/Hard fork, where
people like Jihan will be in control.
