That's if they really go through with 2x, right?

It seems possible that maybe the 2x camp might just give up their ambitions now?

Forked on 491407 earlier today.

1:1 with whatever BTC you have.

Currently on the live markets that it is trading at, it is about worth 0.05 - 0.07 BTC.

honestly though, not even 10% would be able to cash out completely without collapsing the prices.

Best time was 8 years ago. Next best time is day.  

HDD is hard drive disk, which are the cheaper spinning hard drives.

SSD is solid state drive.

Hi the fees will be small because the price of bitcoins will increase!

the simple answer is that as long as you dont need it within the next few years, it should be fine. even if you do, you can liquidate some. but you should have some liquidity in fiat for day to day needs

HOW will they do that? Mandate by vendors when purchases are made in BTC?

If their motivation would be money, just show them a chart.

Attach famous new articles calling it a "bubble" and "fraud".

wtf? 

is this post a joke? 

i heard kucoin is supporting bitcoin gold. really gotta see which exchanges / wallets are supporting it. most arent afaik

btg is ridiculous
b2x is trading at almost nothing

this whole "fork" thing is gonna be a non-event.

Just head down to Bitcoin HQ and ask for Bob at Redemption 

Perhaps in the past, but I don't think that this is the case now and getting much less so moving forward into the future. The more gateway cryptos and alt cross base pairs there are, the less of an impact btc will make.

1) hodl
2) "invest" in ICOs
3) gamble with it
4) bankroll casinos with it
5) lend it out at margin exchanges

Have you considered a crypto card? I heard the TenX card allows you to withdraw from ATMs in the local currency, but I don't have one and I don't recall seeing any videos of that before. That would be quite useful for as an alternative backup plan to localbitcoins.

Fees will be solved with layer 2 solutions that can scale up and reduce transaction costs. That is why I personally don't think that increasing block size will do any good. It is an inefficient and ineffective solution to a much much bigger problem that it is trying to solve.

No, I don't think so. It will probably be too energy inefficient to do so, unless somewhere down the future BTC hardforks into PoS.

My definition: Risk = permanent loss of capital

I don't think that bitcoin is risky because the long term value WILL be higher in the future. However, there will be a lot of volatility getting there.

I read that they initially had some ICO structure built inside, and they wanted to take 1% of all Bitcoin Gold. Sounds super lame and stupid imo.
