It somehow makes sense, however there are some flaws in your post, stuff that I don't see you to mention: 1. The post you are quoting is from 2016, at that time no Coin had SegWit working. Starting from May 10, LTC has SegWit working flawless. I know, LTC doesn't have the number of transactions BTC, but still, it works. 2. Even if the split happens, so what, we will have a COIN, not an ALTCOIN, we will use for small/medium volume FAST transactions, and another COIN, not ALTCOIN, we will use for value storage. Basically, one will be crypto $, another one crypto gold. 3. The fact that SegWit is being implemented for a long period is good as well, most worst case scenario exist and they are debated and this is also GOOD! 4. Worst case scenario - BTC splits in 4 chains. We will have coins on all of them. How to know which one to hold? Well, if you are not from the future, than you can't possibly know what price every coin will have tomorrow, but you know the price at this moment. Which one will be better? Well, one will be useful for some tasks, the other coins will have their particular use. 5. Which one to hold? Well, you have 1-4 decentralized, fair, proof-of-work crypto currencies. Just hold all of them and mine whatever you like more and exchange it for whatever you like the most, just convert same amount from every coin (if you need 1000$, 250$ worth of each coin assuming there are 4). 6. I think nobody can know what will be tomorrow, I believe that your assumption has zero solid evidence, going from one personal opinion to another. 7. Bitcoin price on 9th of August 2016 was 585$, today it is 2257$ on BTC-E, even bigger on other exchanges, this is 11 days before the countdown timer. 8. 1 BTC will always be 1 BTC (at least ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ). I don't think it's gonna be that simple. You left out nChain, they're gonna have mass support. You left out Blockstream and the high probability their chain will be minority so they'll fork off into a new PoW chain. Both of these are backed by major players. So you'll have at least 3 major chains, plus the abandoned one: Silbert's, Core's and nChain's. This is minimum. Throw in bugs, replay attacks, network attacks, the Segwit exploit I mentioned last month and other unexpected events which could lead to eXchange/wallet attacks and other forks, and you've got what I've been predicting for a year: Full-blown war and chaos. And my feeling is that this scenario has a higher probability to play out than the scenario you're expecting. FYI: LTC threshold for Segwit was 95% not 80%. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Oh it's gonna be more like 8 chains and a whammy! lol Let's jump 2 steps ahead of them now:![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FtAiAeme.jpg&t=664&c=JduAWEMGhqjSag) --- On top of diluting your sorry asses and grabbing power from the miners while centralizing Bitcoin overnight there's gonna be another game coming. Once this split goes well and all the monkeys are so happy then they'll give the monkeys another split. They'll split Bitcoin multiple times. Now here's the game. They know, unlike you, that this splitting is literally fiat 2.0 and they are diluting everyone including themselves so they'll want to take most of that supply off the market. But how do you do that if you have say 3 different Bitcoin chains? 3 card Monte. They'll fool all you dipshits into thinking only one of the chains will survive while the others will die and successfully get the large majority to dump the chain they'll actually push and strand everyone on a chain that's gonna die, and as a result they'll own 90%+ of the legit surviving Bitcoin chain. You don't stand a chance at knowing which chain this will be! Welcome to Wall Street, muppets, did you really think you were the next big shits of finance! Hahaha!

Did you muppets really think you were gonna be the next big shits of finance? Hahaha! If one split is so fantastilicious then why not MOAR?!?!?
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FkYVcjlW.jpg&t=664&c=fXnZCUyiSh7VuA) --- Without the fear and greed which drives most people on earth to react like animals instead of thinking like humans, none of this would ever be possible. Animals are more predictable than both, governments and bankers.

Time for the big Shitshow!!! --- JGarzik: "At this time it is irresponsible to keep adding duct tape to Segwit2x to try to save it. It has been shown to have a bug that will cause multiple chain splits!" --- But that's not all. Expect a few more chain splits from Blockstream/Core and others.

Can someone please tell me the answer to the riddle posted in the OP? I can't be arsed reading through 155 pages. Thanks ladies
The answer to the riddle is honestly, sell IXC and buy BTC. Because Bitcoin is the answer. It will go so high. Thanks a lot. Is the answer your version or the official one given by the Vlad2Vlad fella? Lying tricksters trying to poach my investors! The official answer is: IXC will rule the world! Buy buy buy!!! At 8 cents it's not even considered a risk.

|

BTC price is rising again Vlad.Are we about to pump or dump or should we go all in on IXC?
I would go all-in on IXC here!!! Steal of the century!!!
|
|
|
Hahaha, Gleb, I worry about you!
|
|
|
you are the one,,must revive IXC on another chain. I recommend the Ethereum chain. 20$ a piece will be possible. it was the first altcoin and should be first old altcoin to regenerate phoenix on new chain. You will feel the vision antoaneta know
Interesting perspective! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

whatever ixcoin is dead but vlad knowS btc go down but mabye not that it gos higher above $50000 in 3 years. but vlad will know invest because he good man with open eyes.
all coins boomin hard good times rolling, the machine is heating uppppp uppppp we go
IXcoin is in the ashes, much like me, but it will soon rise, just like me. As for BTC - it has to survive this coming split and if it does then $50,000 is a guarantee. But that's a big risky IF!!!

most females dont care about blockchain technology, they only care about handbags and shoes ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Oh shit - we found a genius. Or at the very least an honest prick!

I some quite agree with the stats that most males are into bitcoin as what I have observed within my circle. Though it is not a scientific study, but you can look around, on news, it is dominated by big male investors etc. Hope more awareness to women to utilized this technology.
Yes. Yes. So far all news and information about bitcoin/crypto has been asymmetrically dispersed to males. Sexist media at work again. If only women found out what males now know, surely it would change the demographics. Stay to your left please!

These statistics can not be accurate because when it comes to the internet anybody can be who they want to be male or female but i know for a fact that more males use this technology undoubtedly. Why is the Bitcoin community dominated by guys? Maybe guys are more power(money) hungry than the females and investing in bitcoins could grow your bank Yes. Yes. Men love money and power more than women. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Nothing to do with with real world choices related to logic courses. Can we get all the stupids to form a line on the left?

Probably because most of the men think they have to work to make money. So they choose to work. While their women prefer to take care of the household rather than work.
Are you in Arabia? Your answer would be correct about 40 years ago. Welcome to the future, time traveler!

since coin.dance doesn't explain anything about how they have gotten this stats, like saying what was their study group, what was the method, how many is the total of that group (since it is just percentages), ... i am going to say this is completely inaccurate. it just says google analytics. which i believe means they used search terms. in other words how many male search for bitcoin keyword! that is not really a reliable stat in my opinion by the way this is the direct link: https://coin.dance/stats/genderYes, cause if we simply use our eyes and brains we clearly see way more than 3% female devs and early adopters. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Political correctness has stupified an entire generation - even in the face of hard OBVIOUS facts.

Females donot trust the thing easily they will make lots of evaluation on physical things think about crypto currency which is not even legalized by most of the country . It may take bit more time for females to adopt crypto currency . But some of my femal friends already working on this.
Politically correct but absolutely wrong answer.

According to the website https://coin.dance/stats males make up 97% of the Bitcoin community. Why is the Bitcoin community dominated by guys? Boy, sooooo difficult to figure out real world facts and factual empirical data. Let's try. Walk by an intro to C++ class at your local college sometime. Mine had ~200 males and 3 females. (I really did count them cause you know, I was trying to find that one hot chick in class and all i saw was a massive sausage party). And this was 200 level INTRO class. Wait, that's really close to the 97% we see here. A coincidence I'm sure or more sexism cause nerds hate chicks. haha! Now try walking by any 300-400 levels physics/chemistry class. Economics. Math. You'll see similar ratios. I also went to business school - easily 50-70% women dominated courses. Lower in the finance/accounting classes. Sooooo... Jack got to play with a toy car as a we lil boy and poor Jane was "forced" to play with Barbie? Or....
