Luckily a hard fork isnt very likely as miners have hit the activation threshold for bip91. I am pretty confident, as are boatloads of investors (see price spike) that this will help mitigate the scaling issue for some time. Good post
Bitcoin will be available as a payment again before you know it. Thanks for sharing 😁😁
some country accepting bitcoin and some suspending. why so ?
Thanks so much for this update. Btc won't hard fork on Aug 1st so this isn't such a big worry. It's more like an inconvenience. Everything should be fine after a while.
Well then what they need to do is read this poem... once they do, everything will be right in the world again :)

ooh to bad
What do you recommend?
Why are they halting it?
Because of UASF'ers are threatening to split the Bitcoin network through a soft fork potentially causing transaction disruption.
While i am not in japan, this will hold up a lot of the creators on that side of the world. While this is quite unfortunate, bitcoin should make a bounce back. Thanks for the inspiring post, keep it up.
Waao thanks for the news @craig-grant
We survived the Bitcoin apocalypse of 2017. It was foretold
Thanks for sharing that post,do you think it will have any effect on the price
Hi man, It seems that more people are thinking about 1st of August than Xmas. I just uploaded an article about 1st August and how to create normal USB hardware wallet. Check it out. Don´t forget to follow.
thats sad.... im not sure why they are doing that... but hopefully they will soon resume usung bitcoin again...
japan is one of the top user of cryptocurrency... so its sad that they are suspending btc..
Could it be because they see the gold backed cryptos coming out, which has real value attached to it?
The Dollar is going to fail, and the currency war has already begun, which will be king??
You could make millions if you choose right!
The more people that use it, the better. This is a good thing.
Nice sharing

@kingjan
Really?!? Well, if that's true and it happens indeed, it totally sucks.... Maybe they'll change their minds back later though ;)
