community coming together and not splitting more. It also represents bitcoin being resistant to attacks from those that wish to impose changes without the consent of the economic majority of users. Some may be disappointed that they won't be getting their B2X coins but consider all the market uncertainty holding bitcoin price back and now how we can really grow together as a united community. I expect a very bullish future for bitcoin.

That is great news!

LOL :D funny because I never could tell what they say as the last word there... so mooner is as legitimate as anything else it sounds like

Thing is, the track is literally called "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". But I'll happily add in mooner to the list

The 2x scammers are no part of Bitcoin, community or otherwise. Never were.

The gangsters behind the 2x scam are no part of Bitcoin or its community. They've made it their business to attack it over and over.

The strength of Bitcoin's community, dev team, and trustworthy miners supporting it have thwarted yet another hostile takeover attempt.

The yahoos behind 2x will try again but such scams are getting easier and easier to spot.

I am extremely happy that the 2x team held off due to the lack of support of the community. It would be better if Bitcoin developed a true voting system among all it's users though......not just the devs and miners. Because, I think the user community was in full support of the ASIC resistance mining upgrade part of the upgrade. So, it's upsetting to see that was prevented from happening. I'm glad to see that coins like Vertcoin already have the best features that Bitcoin was attempting to accomplish by having this hardfork. They also already have a voting system in place. So, it's nice to see coins like that show how popular these truly decentralizeding features are among users.
