I do not know what will happen which obviously will probably be where one day bitcointalk will go forward and surely in a country that does not like bitcointalk would not be allowed.

The fork will result in generating two new coins for Bitcoin holders with equivalent amounts, one is bitcoin gold at the end of October the other coin "unnamed so far"on November, nothing is required on your part as a user other than keeping your bitcoin on an address you control. As for the bitcoin community as a whole opinions vary on forks some agree with them some oppose.

No one knows about this condition, but for this case it is not as it once was in August.
Facing FORK Bitcoin is rising, probably due to increased Bitcoin demand.

Do you know about the fork last August? I believe there is another in this month, October. And it will happen 10 days from now. The last time was BCC or bitcoin cash and right now the forked bitcoin will be named as BTG or bitcoin gold. Well if I were you, I will get the opportunity on having free money.

This fork is coming to be a place for a second coin that is generated from bitcoin.

You will only have this new forked coin if the wallet you are using is supporting the new coin, but if it's not supporting, then there is nothing coming out as a free money.

I think every wallet for which you own the private key, is fine and you will be able to transfer Bitcoin Gold coins to an exchange.
You can also send all your bitcoins to an exchange that announced that they will support trading Bitcoin Gold. They will probably freeze the website for few minutes or hours during the fork (October 25) and on November 1st you will have equal amount of BTC and BTG. Such exchange is Bitfinex and several other will support BTG, but so far I heard only for Bitfinex.

I have seen some claims that it is necessary to have more than one bitcoin to get BTG. That's not true, right?
If I understand correctly, all addresses will have an equivalent value of bitcoin gold after the hard fork.

In short, we have two forks coming up... SegWit2x and Bitcoin Gold. The SegWit2x is just another attempt at a power grab

and Bitcoin Gold looks very unorganized. We will once again have some FREE coins being handed out, so most people are

buying bitcoins like crazy and hoarding the coins they have, to increase the FREE coins they will get after the fork.  :P

Its nothing buddy, Do you remember we had a fork two months back. Exactly the same thing. Nothing else. That time during fork we got bitcoin cash. This time during fork we will be getting bitcoingold. That's it. Remember one thing. Don't keep your bitcoins in online wallet during the fork. Its always safe to keep your coins in desktop wallet. The upcoming fork is scheduled on November 1st. Move the coins to desktop wallet before 1st November.

I have converted all my coins into bitcoin and been buying for the fork. Lending on Bitfinex as they say you will receive bitgold at the split.

If you own Bitcoin, the fork won't affect what you have. All that will happen is that there will be an additional coin called Bitcoin Gold that will exist parallel to Bitcoin. If you control the private keys to your Bitcoins, you will also own the Bitcoin Gold fork. All you have to do is claim those coins. However, there is no guarantee that Bitcoin Gold will be worth anything. On the other hand, I'm sure there are those that would say that there is potential that Bitcoin Gold could become the dominant coin and I suppose that is a possibility but it is unlikely.

People are realizing that goverments, big bankers, ICOs, forkcoins, private enterprise blockchains, distributed ledger technology, etc are all worthless attempts to try and change Bitcoin, but that can't happen.

The only good (currently) thing about BTC Forking is having free btc from forked blockchain. Otherwise, it's sickening watching a bunch of guys playing to be some sort of BTC God that can do whatever they want with it.

I don't think it makes any good to BTC rep, especially if we want it to become mainstream.

I think that we all know that we are going to receive free tokens after the fork, and those tokens are the result of  the hard fork that is happening in October 25th, there is nothing wrong going to happen to your wallet, you are only going to receive bitcoingold equivalent to your quantity of bitcoins, nobody knows how much do this new kind of bitcoin is worth, but it is free money anyway.

Another fork is coming by next month this is due to high demand of bitcoin that is why bitcoin value is increasing. This high demand was due to more and more people are joining bitcoin investment as a result it creates a simultaneous transactions at the same time creating a traffic into the block chain resulting to more delayed on every bitcoin transactions. This fork will help to reduce the traffic and delayed of our bitcoin processing in the future.

I'm sensing that this fork is completely different from what we experienced last august month. The coins will be created for sure but don't know much about the credit system. Will they be credited just the way they did last time or not. There are no official news at the movement and it's better to keep the money into wallet with private keys. Even some of the exchangers are already willing to support the bitcoin gold and that's new strategy to keep people engaged in bitcoin trades for that period. They have also published that the equal amount of coins will be distributed for keeping the amount of bitcoin into exchanger wallet. Hope so this turns out to be good fork.

No one really knows for sure about what the future holds. It might be the same as bitcoin cash. We'll know eventually.
And for free bitcoin gold, yes, I think so. So long as your exchanges support it, then yes. You'll get your share.

Hope it will not affect the price of BTC, same as what happened with BCC.

You mean you don't even heard the first hard fork that happen last August?anyways it only means there will introduce new coin which they call bitcoin gold and bitcoin segwit2x I don't know if this will make a bad or good effect in bitcoin what I am interested in is that the value keeps appreciating and hoping the fork will not break it
