Bits and Pieces SEGWIT Drama Part 1) ViaBTC Standoff This mining pool has taken a political stance against scaling bitcoin, and is blocking any attempt at a soft fork to SegWit. They had 168 Phs and about 10% of blocks. And being that Segwit needs 95% of blocks, they can currently block activation. 'We don't negotiate with terrorists.' The political aims of these hard forks are crazy obvious. They cried about scaling, scaling, scaling. Then they get their scaling and malleability fix to enable more scaling, and they block it. The position has changed from scaling to hard fork now now now. The finer points they just gloss over, saying stuff like they have a different fix for malleability etc. but we see what happens when you let a small untested group of developers try to program for a project like this, you get ethereum. Anyway, this is an on-going story, and may take a couple of months to work itself out. Part 2) June was a big month Anonymous investor of ViaBTC in June. Reports are that it's Bitmain, but we don't know for sure. Ver proposes the bitcoin.com pool. And MGT Capital announces addition of Ver and Voorhees, and starting a mining project. Part 3) SegWit Released Mailing List Japan to stop sales tax on bitcoin purchases. This article states that Japan is the only G7 nation that has a sales tax on bitcoin. This could be due to pressure they feel as tokens gain popularity, because they use the words virtual currency. Very soon, the race for bitcoin will be on. Japan is facing declining population, increased debt, impotent monetary policy, a stagnant economy, and more. They are in a position to want a reset or to make a move with huge potential upside. Nikkei.com Article SEC Comments on the Winklevoss ETF The SEC extended the deadline for a decision on the bitcoin ETF, requesting more public comments on 12 Oct. I included a few links in the show notes to some interesting comments they received during this initial period. Does the SEC even have jurisdiction? I think the understanding of juristidiction has changed from a dependence on the what it's regulating, to who they are regulating.

Tuur Demeester has been making his rounds on podcasts and stuff recently, after his blog post. He was on Sovryn Tech a good podcast that I listen to, and Epicenter Bitcoin. I give Tuur huge props.
