Yes, it has!

Investors and day-traders should exercise caution as dramatic price increases bring additional risk. Always have a goal on what you are seeking from your investment and then cash-out. Each time you cash-out, build a new investment or trading strategy and start again. Tag and bag your profits to save.

Indeed, bitcoin needs to scale. Most people say they agree with that, but do not act and appeal to an authority (Core) to do it for them. This appeal to authority is antithetical to bitcoin which has no central authority of any kind by design.

Please take action yourself by running an Unlimited or Classic node - and telling miners that you want them to do the same. Individually, they won't listen. Collectively, they might.
