Who can explain to me in a nutshell, what this 'Hard Fork Drama' is?
I remain generally ignorant of the more technical aspects of Bitcoin but am seeing this 'Hard Fork' being discussed, and traders of Bitcoin sweating blood over it........so, aside from the fact this 'Hard Fork' is bearish as fuck, what actually is it?
It means everyone will double their bitcoins. One copy of their stash for one fork and another copy for the other fork. So, more bitcoins for everyone
bullish as fuck
Except for the fact that every exchange will switch over to one of the forks, making it impossible to sell your double bitcoins. And even if they were to be traded, one coin would drop in value so fast hardly anybody could profit from it.
Also, the order books would probably be cleared before any such event, so the chance of profiting over this is near nil.
