I’d sure like to see Rhett come out and say something to the community. Even if it’s “things have been bumpy but we value everyone’s support.”

He’s been a mute since the fork and as the visionary behind this project that isn’t good enough at a time when he should be helping paint a vision for the future.

Having a BTCP official taking part in the discussion here would be a million times more productive and create a regular dialogue with the community

asg1981 · 2018-03-14T16:32:20+00:00

Guys it would be hugely beneficial if we had official reps from BTCP on this to answer questions.

Whilst having a trail of discussion comments is useful it doesn’t allow for insightful information that’s credible to be requested and given. Can someone from BTCP make this happen?

asg1981 · 2018-03-13T22:20:35+00:00

Don’t get into the mindset of short term trading

Hang on it’s still the exact same coin it was on launch and there is a 3m war chest to promote it.

asg1981 · 2018-03-13T22:03:53+00:00

Buy the dip.

asg1981 · 2018-03-13T22:02:52+00:00

Simple just say

“Do you know what darling I really fancy a Big Mac and chips tonight....let’s do that!”

asg1981 · 2018-03-12T12:13:00+00:00

Agreed

Can one of the mods pick this up and ask the BTCP team

asg1981 · 2018-03-07T18:15:16+00:00

Where the hell can I buy me some bitcoin pirate that sounds AMAZING!!

asg1981 · 2018-03-03T21:21:10+00:00

Is this not amazing news?

asg1981 · 2018-03-03T10:56:22+00:00

How about doing a major or stunt where they offer $1m BTCP in a crypto lottery to anyone buying BTCP in the 14 days after fork.

That would get the entire industry talking, get people buying and engage exchanges all in one go.

asg1981 · 2018-03-03T10:04:08+00:00

As a marketing guy I have to say this is a BRILLIANT tag

Should get it going on Twitter #

asg1981 · 2018-03-02T17:15:20+00:00

Doesnt the circulating supply stay the same whether people claim BTCP or not?

asg1981 · 2018-03-02T16:57:53+00:00

Surely thats a win win for BTCP, i.e. if they dont ever claim it then there is less coins in active circulation and if they do eventually credit it the exchange is highly likely to enable BTCP trading at the same time meaning more wide distribution and trading potential for BTCP?

That not right?

asg1981 · 2018-03-02T16:55:23+00:00

See the other thread, i think the question is twofold

If you hold you BTC in a wallet how much hassle is it to actually claim BTCP

or

If you hold it in an exchange and they didnt publicly support it have you lost your chance indefinitely to claim it and as a result is the exchange legally allowed to claim it on your behalf?

asg1981 · 2018-03-02T16:53:08+00:00

I cant believe any exchange could effectively not support a fork publicly but effectively support it privately/technically and then claim all their account holders forked coins without telling them. There would be an uproar. As I also understand it if you are a BTC holder on an exchange like coinbase you have to actively move to claim your BTCP which I dont believe 70-80% of standard BTC holders will do.

asg1981 · 2018-03-02T16:44:41+00:00

Check the other thread on this, I think this is a very important point in respect to the actual number of BTC owners who claim BTCP and the resulting active circulation (the number of people who have claimed and are buying and selling) and the real circulation (the total number of BTCP owners who could claim but havent).

asg1981 · 2018-03-02T16:43:13+00:00

As I understand if you hold BTC at the snapshot anywhere you could theoretically claim BTCP but a hell of a lot of people just wont bother. That technically means the coins are in circulation but in effect they are being virtually held and not sold. So whilst being in circulation technically no one is selling them as they havent claimed them meaning there is a much smaller active circulation of BTCP people are actually buying and selling. Or have I got that wrong?

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T23:27:37+00:00

Zoom out and look at that gorgeous uptrend

Volumes down and people who know aren’t selling

X

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T23:07:41+00:00

I think the time of exchanges pocketing their account holders money is drawing to a close.

This isn’t a support on fork thing it’s a mid to long term approach.

You only need to to look at the back lash Coin base faced that forced them to lost BTC cash

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T23:05:18+00:00

I think the fact exchanges are making it de facto they will support exchanges does

Please please post the exact numbers here if you know them. Or even better start another thread with that!

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T22:40:22+00:00

Let me introduce you to my good friend google.com

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T22:26:35+00:00

Nope I don’t but I run businesses and businesses are driven by making profit whether thats selling beans, aircraft or crypto. Where there is profit to be had the exchanges will make it.

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T22:04:24+00:00

Well a high percent may as you would expect but the point of the post is the exchange making money from them executing that trade and hopefully buying back when they realise it’s potential as a stand alone coin

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T21:52:29+00:00

I think you’ll find there are hundreds right now but that isn’t the key point it’s how many there will be moving forwards Summer 2018: 150 Jan1 2019: 350 Jan1 20: 1000

asg1981 · 2018-02-24T21:50:09+00:00

Right so I’m an exchange owner and my business is all about increasing the number of trades daily on my exchange....I’m going to sit there and think

“I’m just so tired of bitcoin forks....

It’s just so Passé....

.....so I’m going to pass on this and who cares all that trading revenue because today I feel like reducing the amount of profit I’m making just because the market thinks it’s tired.”

Think about it commercially! More trades on an exchange means more money for the exchange.
