Looks like a geopolitical event is approaching. Vice-chair Standley Fischer resignation. He was a hawkish member. Power struggle happening. S&P500 is droopy. Gold is strong. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-09-08/gold-trading-volumes-hit-record-high-dollar-crashes --- Music by Joakim Karud

The ocsilations only lasted for two rounds until the price ratio didn't work out in their favor. It's very expensive to continue mining. It's also expensive to continue spamming.

Bitcoin is free. Tax implications, BTC + BCC for tax purposes. KYC concerns. Exchanges will know where your cold storage real bitcoin is, too. Until there's a better way to sell, like bitsquare or localbitcoins, I won't. Bitch coin - It has come and gone. It was a non-event in my mind. The biggest thing it did was invalidate a lot of Technical Analysis. Overall, bcash is a centralized coin. 10s of nodes on AWS, only a few miners.

It's not coming back. This was one of the oldest exchanges in bitcoin. I liked the anonymous no KYC aspect and was a big supporter of them. It turns out that 95% of ransomware and other hacks were going through btc-e. They say they will come back, but I doubt it at this point. "Bitcoin's consensus rules are rules chosen by Bitcoin miners,[...]. If miners adopt new consensus rules, those people that run full Bitcoin network nodes must upgrade..." They don't get that miners follow the rules demanded by the users. Even their boss Jihan knows this because he went along with segwit. https://blog.bitpay.com/august-1-service
