First of my two Antminers and it's PSU paid off - just the shipping and VAT to go. Exactly one month to the day. And they haven't been on 100% of the time - close.

L3+ - I'm mining on Nicehash so I don't really pay attention to which Scrypt coin it mines. I just get paid in BTC and cash that out.

Did anybody say Lambo ?

(2013)

For the second time in the past two weeks, someone purchased a high-end luxury car using Bitcoin. This time, the buyer happened to be a 4chan user.

The 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo was purchased sight unseen from a dealership in Newport Beach, Calif., Tuesday.

The buyer, from 4chan’s technology board /g/, spent 216.8433 bitcoins—or $209,995—on the yellow supercar.

There are actually 2 potential forks:

1. Bitcoin Gold - 25 October. In my opinion a non-event (I posted before details regarding the in-depth Reddit thread that investigated BTG. In the /Bitcoin channel. A good read). My opinion is that BTG will be pretty much worthless. Also a large possibility that the split has already happened - they pre-mined blocks.
2. X2 split - the big one. I am not aware of any dates for this (except that it is in November). Recently X2 has received a lot of negative press, and some mining Pools and companies that originally signed the NYA, has withdrawn. F2Pool has also revoked their X2 voting. I hope that X2 will not happen, and Core will be able to continue to build on Segwit and Schnorr signatures to scale Bitcoin. This will be very positive for Bitcoin, if the whole X2 HF sword does not continue to hang over Bitcoin. But only time will tell.

Sorry, to answer your question: In my opinion, things are looking bullish and there will not be a big dip like we saw with BCH/BCC. Because of positive news - Jamie Dimon now apparently said he will no longer comment on Bitcoin - LOL! :D

But then, I cold be completely wrong. Bitcoin is just so dang unpredictable at the best of times !

If there is no major correction before fork then yes.
 
I don't think it's going to go much further, time to buy more alt coins while they are sucking.
 
So... on Luno... Where does it show the QR code for your address ?

Nevermind... Got it... :o
