But this new coins from the fork will not affect the number of BTC that is on the market right? but why is it affecting the price of BTC whenever a fork is about to happen. Will the new coin also be mine-able or the quantity will be fixed on the quantity that BTC is currently circulating?

It's true that the number of BTC is not affected. But the effect on the price of BTC is essentially the
market pricing in the potential for adverse impacts in the future.

For instance, as many of the previous posts have pointed out, just the fact that BitcoinGold or
BitcoinCash has Bitcoin in the name creates confusion (and therefore potential of negative impacts
on Bitcoin adoption.) There's also a chance (albeit small) that the new coin will actually take over
and become dominant, thereby also reducing the value of Bitcoin.

Confusion is last of worries. What they all think that t will bring them large amount of free cash/coin after this form. Most likely it will have negative impact, cuz no news of development have been made, except that its coming 25th this month. Large amount of buys have been made and many expect to see price be like it was with bitcoin cash. Maybe im wrong but this time i dont expect to see even half of the price that was with bitcoin cash, they have at least some support in that but here i didnt find out anything.

If you have 1 bitcoin, you will get 1 bitcoin gold. During the last fork, also exchanges gave bitcoincash to owner. Now some exchanges announced that they will give bitcoin gold who have bitcoin in their wallet.

Not sure where you are getting your information - not a single exchange so far has said they are supporting bitcoingold.

This is true so far i dont know if there is a working wallet not a exchange that will be supporting. Correct that you will get ratio 1:1 how much bitcoin that much bitcoin gold same as with cash. But if this comes or hit exchanges it will be very low price if any price come to it.
404  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Russia beat every country at creating their first national cryptocurrency? on: October 16, 2017, 08:55:46 AM
it may launch it but the big question is who is gonna adopt it. do you believe americans for example will be eager to adopt a russia issued coin?

the whole point and much of the success of btc is that it is decentralized

Nice example dont think that creating some national coin will bring something to the crypto on the contrary think it will be opposite.
Dont expect to see any adoptions if it not bitcoin or ETH nothing else in this I cant see happening in the upcoming time.

Creating this coin or token if it gonna be ETH based is probably waste of time, but if they are eager to make so let them make dont expect to be success in eny way.
405  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Layman Terms - November Bitcoin Fork on: October 16, 2017, 08:19:46 AM
Excellent explanation azguard! Thank you!

With the fork creating a new bitcoin in Bitcoin Gold, it doesnt actually do anything to BTC. My question is thus - can BTC be improved without a fork? Will it ever be able to increase processing bandwidth or transaction size without completely changing the code and creating a new coin, is this what SegWit2x is supposed to do? Or is BTC maxed out now in regards to speed and transaction size?


From my understanding, you can make changes to the code of bitcoin and improve various aspects of it without a hard-fork. If there is consensus by everyone, then there is no split. The split happens because people literally switch over to the other version of the code. Imagine every machine running one code and then, on the hard-fork, a number of machines start running the new code --> This is the split at the fundamental level.

The new code needs a whole new infrastructure (wallets, etc.) and will be "competing" with the legacy code for users, miners, etc. If users don't migrate, then miners won't have much reward as there will not be any serious bid on the price either. This will be a self-reinforcing cycle to make the chain irrelevant, as is becoming the case with Bitcoin Cash.

The real issue is when people want to assign the name Bitcoin and the symbol BTC to the new code. That can become very problematic, as people will be confused as to which one is which and that can lead to some serious disruption. Some companies seem to want to do that on this fork and, if they do and the fork gains momentum, then we will have potentially more serious issues to deal with than network speed and high fees.

These are my observations so far, let's hope for the best!

True you can make changes anytime, bu think that this time they really done it. 3 bitcoin different ones, pls this is becoming something that is just for fun.
If someone have a idea, other dont agree, then he/she/they create new bitcoin.

Bottom line is that this will not be last of bitcoin name coin that we see, if this works well (many think that it will cuz of free coins they will get), then i expect that we could have every year some new bitcoin name coin.
406  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Layman Terms - November Bitcoin Fork on: October 14, 2017, 06:31:36 AM
Bitcoin Gold is scheduled to go live sometime in November. And what do we know about it.

This.
BTG is the brainchild of Jack Liao and is launching as a hard fork of Bitcoin. As any coin goal is to become a better gold than Bitcoin. Changing proof-of-work is generally going to require a hard fork and BTG has decided to go that route. The proof-of-work that they’ve chosen is Equihash, a memory-hard algorithm that’s fairly ASIC resistant and also used by ZCash. Is this ASIC resistange good solution, maybe, they’re different from CPUs in that they do only one thing, but they do it really, really well.

Hard fork is planed to be on October 25, 2017, is that does not mean that their coin launches on that day. For the moment it might be early November release, which means that their blockchain will have no blocks for a week or so in between.

This leaves final questin, how much will it be worth. Basically, if Bitcoin Gold isn’t worth very much (less than 0.0001 BTC or so), it’s probably not worth doing anything. If it’s actually worth something (say 0.01 BTC or higher), there will be tools that wallet developers will most likely write so you can access your Bitcoin Gold.
407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gold to be created Oct 25 hardfork? on: October 14, 2017, 06:22:35 AM
According to this article another altcoin 'bitcoin gold'  will be created from bitcoin like BCC during the upcoming hard fork in October 25th which means every owner of a bitcoin will technically own a bitcoin gold, I hope my wallet will support this new chain.
https://www.quora.com/Can-you-elaborate-on-how-bitcoin-holders-will-receive-bitcoin-gold-after-the-October-25th-hard-fork

And what will we get again, another bitcoin that at the moment dont have wallet and some exchange (personally better to keep it like that).
Do we need another coin like bitcoin, bitcoin cash wasn't meant to happen but it did, now with this gold project , what to expect next.

If this trend continues then what every year we will have some 2-3 bitcoin coins that are gonna be created. Rush in buy for bitcoin for last few days indicates that many expect to see same as with bitcoin cash. Still I think it will be scam, or coins will be for the ones that dont have exchange wallet or they have particular wallet.
408  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please help on: October 14, 2017, 06:16:04 AM
Now and then every buy/sell you made is verified with email link. Try to find it somewhere, even if you delete one from good or yahoo or outlook you will have it in trash. If you using some other mail that is attach to your service internet that you pay ask from then lis of all your email from 2014, they have to have this.

Dont think that you will have luck if you dont know what email address was used.
409  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bicoin gold on: October 14, 2017, 06:09:47 AM
Is there now some list of exchange sites that also support BTC Gold? Because i think the previous was issue because it is not supported by others. If there is a list? could just post the link. thank you

No list for bitcoin gold and for me this is big scam or its gonna be. Do we need additional bitcoin to coin list, simple answer NO. Dunno why so much fuzz dont think it will be something from this, but to be honest many expect to see same as with bitcoin cash. Dont get hopes high, there will not be anything with this.
410  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: WHAT IS THE BEST AND SECURE TRADING SITE IN BITCOIN? on: October 14, 2017, 06:07:02 AM
There is not best but there are respectable ones. Polo have issues sometimes with ETH deposits and you need to contact support from time to time, and see that many are now on bittrex cuz is much easier and smoother to do.

But use what is best for your purpose and that exchange will be good for you.
411  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin benefit of saving for a long time? on: October 13, 2017, 01:33:19 PM
If you have purchased bitcoin 1 year back and still holding then you know how higher profits you have made till date and if you continue to save it longer then you will be making some really good profits as the price of bitcoins keeps on increasing over a period of time and you will get only positive results if you save it for a long term and for the same reason I am not at all spending my coins at a moment.

That is true only if you look one year back, but this will create temptation to all when they see how high price is will they sell now or wait if the price go down why didnt they sell at this moment and many other scenarios on this topic. For the moment everyone are trying to save and accumulate as many as possible cuz price is rising high fast, and many expect to see bitcoin going even higher then this by this year end.

So this is the fact it high for buying at the moment for normal people but big players see this opportunity to invest and make more.
412  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Going Above 6k Soon!!!!! on: October 13, 2017, 10:56:00 AM
Everything looks extremely good right now. Bitcoin only needs a few more step before it hit $6000. I can not believe that bitcoin can reach $6000 so fast. I mean, I know that bitcoin has a potential to hit $6000. But only in about 2 weeks, bitcoin has made a big move and almost reach $6000. Well, maybe I do not trust bitcoin like other people do and now I regret for what I have done such as buying ethereum Sad

No need to get worried this happen to everyone at least once. You tough that ETH will be good call i made mistake back when i invested in LTC and bitcoin went up.
Learn from this mistake and trust your instinct to invest in bitcoin, dont try to make with some other coin when time is not right.

But for bitcoin price think that it wont stop on 6k it will go much higher then anyone expect, this is only the begging.

413  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN = 5000$ THIS 2017? on: October 13, 2017, 10:01:35 AM
bro it's already over $5700 now. so i think before the end of 2017 bitcoin could reach $6000 since the demand of bitcoin is increasing still and soon it will be broadcast and go to the news so much better if all of us hold our bitcoin in order to get more profit than we ever feel.

Price correction have occur price reduced below 5800 and resistance is big for 6000.
But this is going to happen dont expect to be this weekend but believe if this paste is continued then think that even bigger amount is possible maybe over 7 or 8k bu this year end. We see when price goes up it not few dollars its several hundred, so with this we could expect to see price reach of not even break some very high ones that many didnt believe it could happen.

So our only thing is to accumulate as many as possible and be able to store them, cuz we wont see price going down high at least not in long term.
414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Another hard fork coming in October. New Bitcoin name is "Bitcoin Gold" on: October 13, 2017, 09:56:54 AM
It looks like some people are expecting the same price action to happen as when Bitcoin Cash forked. I think the market never does exactly the same thing twice, so we may see very different price action this time, perhaps even negative and catching people unaware.

Yeah, people just look to the last similar situation and assume the same results with no regard for market cycles or other fundamental factors. Last time around, I don't think Bitcoin Cash had much effect on the market. The BIP91 signalling and lock-in ended market uncertainty around the potential BIP148/UASF chain split, and the market rallied accordingly. Bitcoin Cash just rode the coattails of that rally.

So in that sense, I don't think Bitcoin Cash serves as precedent at all. It could go either way. All I know is that Bitcoin Gold doesn't have nearly the support from big companies/personalities that Bitcoin Cash had (Bitmain, Bitpay, Roger Ver, John McAfee). And they also don't have a working wallet yet, nor have exchanges said a word about it. So I suspect Bitcoin Gold will be much, much smaller than BCH.

Support this. Also would like to add that I personally dont expect nothing from this and think it will be scam in the end. For BCH we had good preparation but for this I dont see anything except the word bitcoin gold. No big news just some rumor, with this i suspect that it will end up like big scam and many will lose coins if they invest in this.

Many rush to buy bitcoin cuz they expecting to see same free coins like with bitcoin cash but dont think it will happen any time soon or will happen at all.
415  Economy / Economics / Re: New rich people thanks to BTC on: October 12, 2017, 03:09:13 PM
I regret the times that i heard about bitcoin back at the 2015, if i were interested in investing in that bitcoin, im also rich now but when i realize that i think that, that time i must really need to use my money in important. so now that im here i want to hold bitcoin until the few years so there is no regret again.

Many regret and many would like to go back in time to buy for 1 dollar bitcoin.
Past tense. How it just work when you have opportunity buy or invest in some promising coin (ICO but be careful), and if you good good call or luck you have some coin in pocket.
416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Another hard fork coming in October. New Bitcoin name is "Bitcoin Gold" on: October 12, 2017, 03:03:26 PM
I cannot see why we would want another fork, if Bitcoin Cash already showed that the support for it is weak/average.. This

is just another way for people to receive free coins for zero effort. A lot of people will now buy bitcoins, just to receive those

free coins, when it happens. In the end, those coins will be sold for Bitcoin again. { that is to say, if it follows the same route

as Bitcoin Cash }  Roll Eyes Huh
I think you are right, I will buy to the currency before the fork, and then wait for split ends after selling, get more legal tender, and BTC cash also have shown that it is not how, people will buy the currency instead of the BTC cash! This is just one way for most people to earn extra income, and for investors who regularly invest in bitcoins, this is another windfall from BTC cash.


True another cycle for free coin or cash.
This is just another big mistake and dont know how do they allow in the first place and everything started with bitcoin cash, now gold. Next would be platinum or eternity or something like this. For how long will this be, well until someone is say this is enough now. But if there free coins to receive everybody will love this.
417  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN = 5000$ THIS 2017? on: October 12, 2017, 01:56:54 PM
I definitely think it will surpass $5,000 usd before the year end regardless of anything that happens (or in this case doesn't happen) in China.
I believe on that, since other big countries are getting in with crypto world probably it could make it. As we observed now, after a short fall of bitcoin price and now it's back into the track. And it could be a new start, chances to everyone who are in bitcoin community to gained more profit.
Agree, that bitcoin has a short fall but now it is back into the track, bitcoin now is already recover and I think it will surely continue to increase, there are still other big countries that are getting in with crypto world and I believe that maybe by the end of the year it will reach $5000 and that is also my prediction.

Quite the outcome. Price nearly 5k and this time dont see any obstacle that can prevent bitcoin to go over 5000 this time. This month will surely be the key one and possibility that price goes over 5000. Now probably the best question will be "will after that bitcoin price will remain over 5k?"
418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: October 12, 2017, 11:38:10 AM
Gambling is addicitive because it is one of the easiest activity to pick up. It is suitable for all ages so even elderly can also play. You dont even need to understand how it works and you can even profit while being entertained.

Gambling is an easiest way to earn more money easily.But if you are doing it all time then it becomes an addiction.Gambling is also like a disorder it causes stress,anxiety,depression and bipolar depression.Gambling is not a problem if you can afford it otherwise you need to take care of your debts from your gamble.There are some strategies available to overcome gambling addiction you must know your limits of how much you can afford to lose.

Yea opinions are divided is it addiction or sickness. This is hard to answer both both are correct in some point. But dont be fulled that with gambling can make easy money, this is mainly from game or games you are playing. Each gambling game or even sport betting have some good and bad sided. Experience gambler explore weaknesses of these games to gain profit.

419  Economy / Economics / Re: each state will create its own token? on: October 12, 2017, 11:18:19 AM
Hello people!As you consider whether each state to create their own tokens? under its currency?

Nah, I don't like the idea. I would prefer more just to use one token as currency not only in one country but in whole world. Well I'm definitely talking about bitcoin. In this way, many more people around the world will use bitcoin and its price will get more valuable. We don't need many tokens that will just end up a shitty coin.
Yes, it is best if one will create token this would be globally to become popular. It is needed of internet access to implement this token. If state will create token probably it will not be hit in industry, so much better to create token which can be access by many.

Dont think that even creating Token will be good idea. What will crypto community gain in this nothing except another altcoin. Just image what would it be if every state create another 200 coin, this would be by me total disaster, and believe that many exchanges would not allow this to be placed under them.
420  Economy / Economics / Re: Cashless society on: October 12, 2017, 11:15:58 AM
Have you ever wondered how would the world's economy be like in the future as a cashless society?

Perhaps, with the increased traction of blockchain acceptance nowadays, could lead to the creation of digital fiat currencies powered by blockchains that are managed by governments themselves. With this in mind, there would be no need for physical cash, as digital fiat currencies would provide many advantages such as quick settlement, global payments, full transparency, implants use on citizens to make payments, and more.

If this becomes a reality, which I'm sure that it will, it would radically transform our lives for the better and reduce criminal activity as a result of the full transparency and auditability that a digital fiat currency would have thanks to the power of the blockchain technology.

Also, it makes me wonder if cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin would exist by that time, or will they co-exist with digital fiat currencies.

Nevertheless, I would like to know your opinion about this.  Wink
The society has no cash, I think this is unlikely. The blockchain attached to the technology. we have to implement a technological revolution around the world to have a society without cash. There are many countries in the world with poor technology.

Technology can be adapt, and sadly there are still many countries that not use any big technological let say upgrades.
Many still rely on the old fashion way of buying and paying, but most of the globe are using any type of cashless flow.
So this concept can be putted in motion but for realization it will take lot of time.
