These fees the past few weeks are robbery.

all of them.
Oldenburg says that people don’t understand the risk associated with the coins as they only own them and have not sold or traded with them. “As soon as people realize that this is how it works, they will start to sell. The old bitcoin network is as good as unusable.”

I don't know anything about Oldenburg, but his co-founder is Roger Ver, a BCH evangelist who hates Bitcoin as much as you do. Last week on a podcast I saw him get deeply offended at the term "BCash", likening it to a racial slur. lol
So I'd take anything he says with the caveat that he's probably suuuuper biased. Apparently tribalism runs deep among the fanatics of various shitcoins, BTC included.
For those of you tired of getting raped by bitcoin transaction fees, here are some tips:
1) On Blockchain.info, click "Customize Fee" and cut the number to about half. The transaction might be slower, but it will cost you substantially less. In addition, sending the BTC to a place like Bovada, it will still typically be approved quickly, as Bovada usually gives trusted users "credit" for the bitcoin deposit long before the transaction fully completes.
2) Try sending late at night or very early morning, as I've noticed there are far fewer transactions at that time, leading to lower fees

My friend would like to know if you could send him the contact info of the guy you sold bitcoin to at 5K years ago. If you could just send it to me I will get it over to him. He says if things pan out he will throw you something.
I refuse to believe they are just going to let every Tard Dick and Harry become a zillionaire. Bitcoin almost has to just free fall to like 100 after Christmas. The only other option would be the dollar free-falling and bitcoin basically becoming the Amero. lulz Amero. Doesn't something have to give? My guess would be it crashes right after I hit a 10 team parlay and I'm left holding the bag.
holy shit.

I dont understand how you can spend this much time in this thread and still not understand that this isnt some illuminati conspiracy, its just math.
In order to become rich, you need to cash out your BTC.
Unless the 'downstream' adopters continue to buy, which clearly they wont because there are a finite number of morans with a finite amount of money to be separated from, there is a guaranteed deflation of price in proportion to the volume sold.
Simply put; if there is a 'run' on btc exchanges, the first thing that will happen is they will run out of cash reserves within hours. The 2nd thing that will happen is people start undercutting each other for sell prices in a desperate attempt to jump off a sinking ship, which will only finish what the molten, smoldering exchanges started.

I agree this is what could happen.
But remember bitcoins are limited in supply. There is a finite number of bitcoins and a large number of people hoarding, plus throw in lost bitcoins, etc.
I feel like the nail in the coffin will be government interference or an alternative coin that is government backed.
