Bitcoin Forum

There are continuing rumors about another bitcoin hardfork on December. If this happen, will bitcoin go for another all-high time or may suffer another big crash this time.

There are going to be a lot of events for bitcoin during this last month of this year. There was supposed to be a new fork called bitcoin silver, if i am not wrong.. but i think that it was fake, because i have never heard about anyone talking about this one.
But it is not going to be worth it, all those forks are just creating fud and panic over bitcoin, they are not worth it.

The only good forks that bitcoin had, were Bitcoin cash and Bitcoin gold, segwitx2 was the worst fork that bitcoin had on the past, it made bitcoin bleed a lot.

All good with bitcoin except forks... all that rumors, price changes and other prevent btc stay real cryptocurrency.

in case you have bitcoin silver in mind then it seems like even a worse joke than bitcoin gold! it is practically the same thing too PoW algorithm : Equihash and Mining Hardware : GPU
the only difference is that Block Interval for it is 30 seconds which seems like an even bigger joke, there is no source code, there is no proper announcement topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2311582.0) there is no developer, none of the things it says such as replay protection and unique address is ready either to be sure.

all that said, i don't even think this fork will happen. even if it did, the effects will be minimal, maybe some small rally before and  a small dump after it. nothing to even consider.

Can you at least post the links for this article? I think you are talking about the shit altcoin the Bitcoin Silver? right? Even if there is another fork on December, I think it will not succeed like Bitcoin Gold or BCH, every forked coin of Bitcoin will not succeed, but you can generate profit from that forked coin, after selling don't support it and go back to Bitcoin.

More shit forks expected. Once the fork ends in December, everyone returns to legacy bitcoin and the forked out coin loses any form of relevance. By January, we begin to hear rumours again of another shit fork about to happen.

Another shit forking? Bitcoin forking already happened so many times and in the end there are no good outcome, the one that happened is people take advantage of it and the price in the market become unstable, I don't think people will agree with another forking

URL or it didn't happen.

What fork? No details? We don't live by rumors here...there's a rumor Bitcoin is a bubble that's about to pop! Guess we all better sell on the rumor.

There appears to be another one called Super Bitcoin planned for December as well: https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/super-bitcoin/

Bitcoin itself should become more resistant to the volatility experienced around forks in the future

I will definitely wait for that to happen. It may be a good news for everyone who wants to achieve a quick profit.

Are there any sources on this so far? All I keep hearing/reading is rumors but no solid information yet.

This is the information that i'm looking foward too . I will turn on the notifications for this topic.

I also saw that some topic about bitcoin silver but i don't know wheter it is true or not but if it is true the bitcoin price will bump again because many people convert their coins into bitcoins to get the free coins from fork.So the demand for bitcoin will be higg so the price also will be high at the time of fork.But after that fork maybe a little downfall in the price but it will recover soon if the pricr falls.

It seems that people are really loving the trend of  a never ending Forks to Bitcoin because they always think that they will get a free coin and it has a positive impact to the price of it as every Fork that happened in the past shake the price of Bitcoin for a moment then pumped it up, people tend to discussed it repeatedly that maybe the reason for them to go along with the ride of a Bitcoin copy cat coin.

What's fork? Seems like a word "bitcoin hard fork" misleading somewhere.
I consider it is a "bitcoin hard fork" if it's really implemented to bitcoin nodes, run in the same chain, not creating a new coin which is run on different chain and refers to an altcoin. Bitcoin gold, bitcoin silver is just altcoins, nothing more than that. Even for Bcash, I don't think it's bitcoin split into 2 different coins, but the  hashrate could be separated to support bitcoin or bcash.

Hope so it happen but bitcoin has always big event every time or maybe a month of period. There's a matter of facts Fork is normal in bitcoin and it is happen repeatedly always.

Source please, if this hardfork really happened on December the price will pumped again for sure. Maybe we can reach $10,000 in the end of the year if this hardfork really happened. Hardfork always make the price of bitcoin increase but if the hardfork canceled again the price will fall again.

I once read about this fork some time back, called bitcoin silver, I even saw the ANN thread here on the forum. However, I am not too sure if the fork is going to be happen as schedule in December. I don't think another fork will be such a good idea, there has been too many forks within a short period of time which are trying to achieve the same purpose. It would be wise if its suspended too like they did with segwit2x fork.

I can not tell if fork will happen in december? we just wait, usually there is notification via email from bitcoin, if fork happened.
bitcoin will not go long, bitcoin will just go for a while, then come back again to neutralize the system and its value.

I watched a graphic image of 3 upcoming forks. Didn't know if it was legit. With the forked coins being - Bitcoin Diamond, Super Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash plus. I don't really pay attention to these forms because not even the forums are discussing about these forks, so the coin coming out of the forks will be worthless. It looks like with these many forks, Bitcoin will soon be ineffective against such.

They say the hard fork will be about this bitcoin diamond but no announcement yet if it's true or not but even if it is true I am not afraid or I don’t have to worry because the bitcoin price will not be affected by this or chances are it may rise even higher before the year end. I think we will expect many fork in the coming years because the demand of bitcoin continuously increasing and it gets more popular as days passes by.

It's been there around when bitcoin is surging a lot of developers making their own coin through these splits / hard forks.


Haha, people are shortcut calling it to "fork" instead of "hard fork" but you are right they are totally different. But when someone says, "there's a fork" it's now understood as hard fork.

This isn't the only fork there are several other forks planned to occur in jan and even feb known as btc platinum or something.

 It doesn't matter now if fork happens or not there is going to be a positive effect on the price.

Forks are never really worth i only enjoy these becauss the price of alts fall and trading becomes a lot easier.

Bch was the only good fork btg was also a fail and most likely all future forks will also fail.

Just keep them coming. Bitcoin will never crash. It may go with a little nose dive but i will skyrocket much higher than before it dives. Yeah there's a rumor but it's only a week away till December. I just read it in some news but i think no one cares talking about it.

The information regarding new fork will find at the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2311582.0
If it occurs. humm, I don't think that new fork will have that equal potential as Bitcoin is having right now.

Bitcoin silver. Are you serious. These people should stop forking bitcoin for those shitcoins. If this one every happened then everyone will start forking bitcoin and maybe we will see bitcoin bronze, bitcoin platinum, bitcoin this bitcoin that. These people should not use bitcoin's name.

These rumors truely affect a lot in the price of bitcoins. But if we are ready to make some research on the fork with some great knowledge, a individual can make a good profit our of each fork and can be much profitable if taken positively.

For me it really doesn't matter on how many hard forks will there be in the future with Bitcoin because they are just giving us away free money most especially Bitcoin holders. It will not change the Bitcoin's community's support because I know that forked coins will be the same as usual as an Altcoin that will still depends on Bitcoin just like any other on the market. Of course we have to expect another all time high over and over again as long as there will be  hard forks. In my opinion crash can only happen if there is FUD and hard forks for me is not a threat to Bitcoin so nothing to worry about it.

Oh! Another fork?!! With these too many forks, soon people will begin to question the potentiality of Bitcoin.
We have already seen so many forks this year alone, and nothing much seemed to change, just another Altcoin coming into play.
And as usual, if this becomes true, then, Bitcoin is going for another ride.

Nowadays back to back forks coming it may be affect the price of bitcoin due to its free coin.But I think bitcoin silver fork is not true if that happens again there will be the problem for bitcoin maybe it will increase the transaction fee.But I don't invest on any of the coins coming out from the forks because it will be worthless soon like happened to the bitcoin gold.

the upcoming fork will not affect the trend of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has secured the highest level where no one can reach that level.

I doubt that the new forks will have a noticeable influence on bitcoin price. Too many of them already, the effect will probably be smaller and smaller with each new fork. Bitcoin Cash was the only serious attempt.

Too many fork in recent time. I don't think is good for bitcoin

Before the hard fork of bitcoin for the Gold, some people here used to joke that there will be a fork which be called bitcoin silver, bitcoin diamond, bitcoin platinum and so on, if this thing is true then that would be hilarious that there are plans to use this name.

What good about hard forks is that they boost the bitcoin's price, small dumps is a normal scenario giving traders a chance to buy more btc while in that state. Another thing that is good for the hard fork is that it gives free forked coins to the users who stored their bitcoin to a wallet that they control and owned the private key, once the chain is split in two they will have both the original and the newly forked coin.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, what makes it to prevent to be a real cryptocurrency? Even the time bitcoin will be replaced or devalue, it is still a cryptocurrency.

another fork?? which one?? i am tired to saw many forks  ;D ;D

Yeah, i hear that news  ;D , hardfork will make another "btc" called bitcoin diamond lol. Well many experts said that this hardfork purposes to make btc price always pumped up, but i still doesn't know the truth ???

Actually i never heard about another fork recently. Recently there are some fork in bitcoin with highly positive affect to  bitcoin itself.
If fork again happen, i am sure the price will higher again.

I dont think people are gonna fall for this attempted pump again (i really hope the community is learning). Look at Bitcoin Gold, it peaked at what 0.05 bitcoins? Might aswell just keep your money in the coins you were already invested in.

NO GOD! NO GOD, PLEASE NO, NO, NO, NOOOOO...
Forks, forks everywhere.
Today forks like a new ICO - new coins, new money, new "technology"
I guess it is a wrong way.

i don't think that this is for real, will they ever stop with all this fork stuff

it is only a rumor and I don't think that anybody should build the investment strategy on it, the question of whether the price goes up or down is irrelevant

it’s new news but why we need new fork we have Bitcoin (Great p2p technology ) , ETH & LTC .

about problem of 1 MB block size can use Bitcoin cash as temp solve OR 2x .

Bitcoin gold , Bitcoin silver and any other fake forks is only burn of money and bad way to gain fast uses .  

in future we will find  Bitcoin , Altcoin and bitcoin forks (bitcoin gold , bitcoin silver , bitcoin moon , bitcoin sun , bitcoin light ,......etc)

There were also rumors that a hard fork to B2X was going to happen even though the original authors of the idea backed down. And what? And nothing happened. And nothing will happen in December, either.

I too heard it that it would occur today on november 24th.

Here,surprisingly the total number of coins would be 210 million,ten times that of bitcoin.

Out of it,170 million coins would be given as free air drop to BTC holders in the ratio of 1:10 and the remaining 40 million coins would be kept as a reward for miners.

It is said that two miners are responsible for this fork whose nick name is EVEY and 007.

Don't know exactly whether it would be just a scam project like bitcoin gold,in which most of the coins are premined.

It's something we had to look forward.I'm pretty sure the market value will have to dump before its hardfork and then pump again after the said fork happened.I think it's just the same old scenario with the past forks.And maybe by early next year another fork again i guess.

From what I have seen there is no hardfork in December.

OP, where are you seeing the rumors at? Do you have any links to anywhere? I actually didn't hear about Bitcoin Gold until it was too late. Wish I would have had some BTC at the time(I was in ETH all in).

Oh well, ETH is going up hard right no anyways and I am flipping between that and BTC. Bitcoin will go for another all time high as it always does, then go back down. Buy the dips!

Why there are so many fork to Bitcoin. I am very confused which one is true bitcoin, there are so many coins forked from original bitcoin chain.

this one came out of no where like bitcoin gold.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-silver-wants-to-make-bitcoin-decentralized-again-amid-more-2x-rejections

The release of another bitcoin hard fork is not new and won't trigger the value of bitcoin.This might affect BTC price for awhile but will easily recover, same thing happened on the release of BCH and BTG which immediately plunged. Bitcoin will still be the number one cryptocurrency.

After so many unreasonable forks, now nobody gives a damn about them. They hardly gonna have any major effect of price of altcoins or even Bitcoin. Price will stay bullish regardless of any fork unless the consensus with the fork is high. Right now altcoins are going up along with Bitcoin. I think any other fork will go unnoticed now just like Bitcoin diamond fork recently.

I think bitcoin is now use to with all challenges and now bitcoin don’t care about any fork because bitcoin is now very strong and stable in market and as far as I know when china banned bitcoin and the way bitcoin fight against china so that’s unbelievable and I think that was one of the tough days for bitcoin but still bitcoin is surviving and day by day its going more high so I think if any fork come to ward bitcoin so bitcoin will face it.

You mean SBTC? I don't like it at all, be honest. Xiaolai Li is not a popular man now in China. People hate him.

Hi there jonaire99! There are indeed so many news and articles about the new bitcoin fork, and this time they called it silver fork. Are they really mean a eating utensil silver fork? Lol, website like cryptocoin mastery, coin telegraph mention this fork but the merkle and other sources confirm that this is just a fake news generated by some investor to give time to buy low and sell high their possessions. One thing that I think this is a fake new is the lack of supporting information like the developers, investors and even open source fork from github is missing. A couple of advice, if in doubt, hurry and invest in ANGEL TOKEN, it provides 690% bonus which you could not get in other ICO alone in a month.  ;)

I heard those rumours too but i think it will not happen this year. If it does then i think Bitcoin will reach its all time highest.

I agree with your opinion. Bitcoin forks are too difficult to understand for the average investor, I think many people is not able to manage them properly (claiming new coins, finding trusted wallets, etc.)

It's not exactly what I can say. But in many places we saw the news. It may be.That time will tell exactly. There is no way we can wait. So let's see what happens.

Yes I heard of the upcoming fork of bitcoin by December, and another 2 forks at January. And the fork of bitcoin at December will give a rise in the price of bitcoin by January after the December fork and make the price of bitcoin drop before the fork.

I agree yes truly correct its big joke hard fork for silver without supporter's how its works especially there is no developer, I think nothing to worry for this fake news about  hard fork.

Those hardforks had becamed a fast and easy way to earn and make money, instead of make a new ethereum token, people are now targeting bitcoin, since its where the big money is, soo they need to change a few things, and almost all bitcoin holders will give volume to those coins... its insane no one understand we are giving free money to big whales, making these forks a centralized way to let whales to become more powerful.

In my point of view this is only a fake news created by some investors to offer time to purchase low and sell high their bitcoins. One thing that I think this is a fake news is the absence of supporting data like the investors, financial specialists, advertisements, and even the source code progress that will show they are creating a new kind of fork. I think the price will steadily go to upwards and the fake news will be simply ignored.

Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Silver, Bitcoin Dimond... they have no imagination even in choosing names how will they be able to convince the community to support their forks.
We hear about new forks everyday but we never know the real reason behind them.
The good thing is that rumors about forks do not affect bitcoin value anymore, in the contrary, after each fork bitcoin value ascend.

The name doesn't seem to matter anymore. It's a new hype being kept alive by the greedy nature of people in this market. Before all this started, people were afraid of forks, and rightfully so, but now they see how Bitcoin Cash has done, it triggered people to ditch fear for greed. Bitcoin Cash has become somewhat of a benchmark fork, where people hope that the next fork will result in a similar happening. Bitcoin Gold has had a pretty disappointing launch, but managed to climb back up and reach nearly 0.05 BTC, which isn't bad at all considering it doesn't come even close to Bitcoin Cash in terms of importance and how it's backed by very wealthy entities.

After Segwit people are not vulnerable to invest in forks anymore. There was a fork called btc diamond which happened recently and there was not a major impact on btc as well as others

I think its bitcoin diamond.I think no crashes would occur in bitcoin prices here after due to bitcoins.It does not have any significance as bitcoin gold.I think that it would also be an unorganized project.Total supply of coins is said to be 210 million coins.So,there would be no threat for bitcoin.

Perhaps that is very much possible mate, Like what happen to Bitcoin gold recently, bitcoin became more higher as expected by many of the member of this forum, so if that happen bitcoin will go the moon again, hold, hold, and up, up in way!! :D

Bitcoin gold, bitcoin diamond, bitcoin silver, bitcoin platinum, bitcoin copper, bitcoin titanium, etc. I guess this may be the current trend to replace the ICO.
Luckly I believe it will not harm Bitcoin itself much, because these forks will not take people's bitcoin away as long as he or she do not invest in these forks.

You forgot about the bitcoin diamond, which is the last fork after the failure of segwitx2; first crypto made with proof of stake technology.

I will definitely wait for that to happen my friends.

Well I think bitcoin don’t care about any fork because bitcoin is now use to withal fork and challenges so I think nothing will happen to bitcoin because when china and one another country banned bitcoin so nothing will happen to bitcoin and I think bitcoin become more strong and powerful then every and some big countries have accepted bitcoin and they support as well so I think these countries are enough to make stable bitcoin in future.

this is just news that is not true, because bitcoin can not be swayed anymore, if you will go to another fork, then you should think carefully.
 

I think now the game is over of any fork and now no one can make any problem for bitcoin because bitcoin is now one of the powerful and stable currency and now its use to with these kind of challenges because bitcoin always want to help people and that why world support bitcoin and its performance is very great as compare to any other currency so in this year bitcoin also faced as lot of fork but bitcoin price is still high than any other currency.

I've lost track of what is happening to that. I picked up the name DiamondCrypto.com, so I guess I should do some reading. Diamond crypto seemed like a good name though, it could discuss the many facets of crypto currencies.

Yes we are not expecting any further furk. i am sure that bitcoin price will continue to increase so smoothly and we do not want any bad are suspecious news which can cause the price of bitcoin to dump. We are now expecting that the price of bitcoin will continue increasing for and before ending 2017 we are expecting that the price of bitcoin will cross

Yeah, I believe also this was the last fork after Bitcoin Segwit2x. What's next? that I don't know. Before I thought Bitcoin Silver was a hard fork but the last time I checked, I had read that it was a token which is an ERC20 based with name was just derived from bitcoin, tapos wala talagang official announcement
na fork siya.

Actually, there's a lot of upcoming forks especially next month but these are unofficial. There are two hard forks I had read yesterday, the Super Bitcoin which will be on December 17 and Lightning Bitcoin which will happen on or around December 23. I still don't have much information about this two. I just found it on the following links
https://news.bitcoin.com/the-first-dpos-hard-fork-lightning-bitcoin-is-on-the-way/?utm_source=OneSignal%20Push&utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=Push%20Notifications
https://hype.codes/super-bitcoin-another-bitcoin-fork

How many forks do we really need?  Wouldn't people just be better off creating their own blockchain instead of trying to piggyback off of BTC and do a fork?

People don't need a fork. We only need a stable blockchain, without a large number of transactions. I think that the fork bitcoin cash was needed only for chinese miners.

I personally don't like this fork inflation. But on the other hand it does not seem to hurt Bitcoin core.

Fork  bitcoin..I'm tired... Too many events in November, the unstable situation on the market of cryptocurrencies. A lot of losses.

I dont think the value of bitcoin will be hampered but it will increase at a very fast rate and yes it can also reach a all time high value. But still its increasing now but you still have time to by them i think after a fork it will increase more. So start now to buy and get high benefits in just some months.

there will be several forks in december

It will be interesting to watch if there are more forks.. and what happens.

I guess at least it means another free coin! It's interesting that its forking so much yet none of the fork have really taken off, it'll be interested to see what this fork offers

I am not sure if this so called fork is a joke or something else as i have not seen anywhere about it. The last fork i had heard of was for Sedgwick fork back a few weeks ago but that was dead in the water pretty much from what i read. Also alot of the time you have people mention like a wishlist of what they would like improved as well as what it should be called.

I never being heard anything about the hard fork on this December. Although it'll happen or not I still don't really care about it cause I only believe in Bitcoin beside I don't have much Bitcoin so although there will be 10 hard fork in this month the amount of free coin I'll get will very little :))

If they all give out free coins then I might consider joining their program. If not, then I am not interested.

Bitcoin Silver already failed before the hard fork they planned.
I want to say that the community already rejected this, and will not support by any means in future.
Not only this, hopefully the community will not support any other forks in future. Those who are talking/planning about forks are just nonsense.

Bitcoin Gold
Bitcoin Diamond
Bitcoin Quick
and now Bitcoin Silver.

What would be next? Bitcoin ??

I really don't understand these forks after all, i thought that the initial fork which happened on August 1 was going to be the first and final fork but it seems there are more incoming, why don't all they come together and bring a final one and this quarterly forks which seems to be happening nowadays.

when I see the problems of the bitcoin gold with their security holes, their scam wallet and all the millions of dollars lost etc.... I think these forks are really going to kill our btc

Could somebody give me an overview of the upcoming forks in December and January?

There are so many forks I lost somehow the overview. Bitcoin Diamond was already a surprise.
Furthermore, I even heard, that the Segwit2x supporters will try to start a new fork in January again? Is this correct?

People often see it as an opportunity to make free money, it is also driving up the value of bitcoin, so it may be a good thing.

I haven't received any confirmation yet about the next hardfork but just incase it will happen I would like to keep some money and wait for the drop because just like what is always happend every hard fork there is a sudden dump which is an opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin I would love seeing how after every drop a good pump will take over with a very promising value for bitcoin

Bitcoin Silver? It looks like those forked shitcoins, Like Bitcoin silver, Bitcoin Quick, Bitcoin Diamond. And looks Like EBTC, EETH, EXMR, ELTC, EDOGE etc. People think that if bitcoin gold is successful, the next fork can also be successful if they just cloned it and can be quickly profit on them, but the truth is nothing changed on hash power, just the same on succeed fork or even worst.

All ofthese funny Bitcoin forks remind me of the prior craze that there was with Ethereum based forks like eBTC and eLTC, eDASH, eMonero, etc. I must admit that was really funny to see people making e coins left and right. eBTC was a hit, but all the other were just flops.

But still I believe that bitcoin will continue to lead in this market, those forks are really nothing for me because bitcoin is really powerful. although its a free coins but still in small amount of money, still focus on gaining more bitcoin.
