Hi,
I hope everyone's day is going well.
Here is the thing:
- Recently purchased a Ledger Nano S to hold ma new BTC (because I do not trust coinbase even though I should).
- When I went to move it over to my hardware, the chrome ledger app for BTC asked if I wanted to switch my blockchain to SegWit2X. It mentioned stuff like "it is safer, faster, and the fees are much lower". Naturally, it sounded like a good idea; so I switched blockchians to it instead of the original BTC blockchain.
- Looking at forums, articles, and youtube videos, I have several reservations now about doing this: will my SegWit2X coins be equivalent to original BTCs; if they are not, how will I determine their equivalence; and should I just revert my wallet's blockchain to the original BTC (b/c I am not sure if I opted into reply attack protection).
I hope these questions are not too stupid.
I am still learning to sort out the crappy information from good stuff.
Respectfully,
Michael
