The state, absolutely

When the market is hot, and over burdened by transactions, it becomes extremely difficult to spend your money. In other words, you can only withdraw or spend your "stored value" in a crunch if you pay enormous fees or get lucky.

Delusional. The cultural and intellectual baggage left over from the scaling war is real. There will be no blocksize increase on BTC even if fees skyrocket. They might throw in the towel and do an increase if either BCH or BSV gets within striking distance, but even that would be hard to push through at this rate.

Fpwp

I am concerned about alt coins more than btc forks, my whole point is that if it ever gets to where cash is even close to stealing significant market cap relative to bitcoin it can be crushed easily. I'm way more worried that eth with PoS or some mimblewimble coin or future unknown tech is going to defeat bitcoin, not retarded ass bitcoin cash

Dude outside of maybe a million crypto nerds on forums, nobody knows about this "intellectual baggage". It's not an issue

Well you are wrong. Ledger forks inherit a huge network effect.

Kek, you think there's millions of us? Maybe a few thousand at best.
Core turned itself into a priesthood and got high on their own supply of propaganda. They cannot easily renege on their hard doctrine without consequences. In any case it will be interesting to see what happens.

What consequences? The people that will propel crypto in the next bull will just buy an ETF or login to coinbase and hit the buy button. Nobody outside of a select group of nerds gives a shit about blocksize debate baggage or the precedent it set. It's a non issue

In order to hardfork for a larger block size BTC requires the hashpower for consensus. The same people mine BCH. Even without taking hashpower off of BCH to vote on BTC they could still block any consensus to raise the blocksize on BTC and if they did take some hashpower off of BCH to vote on BTC they definitely could block it.

This has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I'll sell you my wallet, it has 3 BTC on it. You give me 10 ETH. Sounds like a good deal, but when you give me 10 ETH and I give you the private key I still have the private key myself. So I'm just gonna move the BTC to a different address after the transaction and you're left with nothing.
