short lived bounce over:

$DXY looking very shaky.  remember, my theory is that both USD and UST's can't go up like last time in 2008.  there's been too much damage to credibility for that to happen in the next crisis.  of the 2, i guess it would be the USD to go down as everything has to be done to save the larger component of money, that of debt, or the UST.  and it's time to intervene in UST's if you look at the chart.  all printed USD needs to go to purchasing them.  which means, you know what, for Bitcoin:

IOW, this kinda stuff cannot be tolerated:

into the teeth of a falling stock mkt and already rising rates to the tune of 43% off the bottom?  i don't think so.

Another proposal to scale up bitcoin removing the max block size limit

Protocol changes proposed:

Hard fork to remove 1MB block size limit.
Simultaneously, add a new soft fork limit of 2MB.
Schedule the hard fork on testnet for September 1, 2015.
Schedule the hard fork on bitcoin main chain for December 11, 2015.
Default miner block size becomes 1MB (easily changeable by miner at any time, as today).
Changing the 2MB limit is accomplished in a manner similar to BIP 34, a one­way lock­in upgrade with a 12,000 block (3 month) threshold.

I thought about commenting that the statement smacked of a limitation in theory more so than to a robustness in implementation (however gestational it might be), but it wasn't worth the few seconds to peck it out on the keyboard.  Also, of course, Anonymint doesn't need the extra temptation to engauge on the forum with all the medical problems and important coding work he's got going.

Thanks for the video that group of globalists divide into 3 categories, those invested in exploiting the Bitcoin blockchain but not invested in bitcoin the currency, those who see change, disruption coming, and those who have invested in bitcoin.

As for the quote referenced above blockstream have provided a roadmap to separating the value in bitcoin the currency from Bitcoin the blockchain. I take many of them seriously, and more of them with a pinch of salt as most don't know the difference.  

It's mostly us who refuse to see what the blockchain but not the currency folks see.

Goldman Sachs:  oh yeah, that Bitcoin thingy, we ain't interested in that:
