Guys,
It is just me or others doesn't have the same anticipation on this fork as compare to Aug. 1?
The forum was full of anticipation on the Bitcoin Cash before, but I don't feel any with the Bitcoin Gold? Previously, I felt that the forum was lively and there's a lot of discussions on Bitcoin Cash before, and almost everyone is updating what's the current situation of the fork and what blocks are we before the fork. But with this Bitcoin Gold, all members just want to get this free coins and dump it hard. And some have even stay late to be part of history.
But why with this fork everyone is not excited?
This is one of those things where the control was wrenched into the hands of a specific team and you have to wait to see how they play it out. It is very unknown, and there can be some big things happening for the good or the bad, only Nov will tell.
The dev team chose to act quickly, rather than lose the pole position to another team. They are acting on the impact of the Bitcoin Cash release and hoping to recreate it, we shall see if they can.
