PSA: if you send bcash altcoins – or any other fake Bitcoin – to a Bitcoin address at ROOM77 (as has happened) we will not only NOT honor that transaction as a payment but we will also NOT recover your altcoins for you.

In order to recover your altcoins we would need to install software we cannot trust on our system and expose our private keys to that software. This is never gonna happen.

In case you are a victim of the bcash scam we are sorry for your loss and recommend you complain to the people who scammed you into buying fake Bitcoin.

In case you are one of these scammers trying to trick merchants into installing untrustworthy software this way: go fuck yourself!

Update: I did not make this post to discuss the blatant censoring in other "btc" subreddits.

I wanted to make the point that it is nobody's responsibility to accept any altcoin being sent to their Bitcoin address as an actual payment. If we go down this road Bitcoin will be unusable. I therefor want to suggest the following guideline:

No retailer has to honor whatever you send to their bitcoin address as long as it's not Bitcoin.

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
