Has everyone decided what to do with their S2X fork coins? Could this be the version that backdoors onto Wall street ETF-style?

What's with the sharp dip?

What's with the sharp dip?

I was going to ignore it in the hope it goes away.

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

Yeah, so that didn't work. Any other bright ideas?

[podyx]

When is the hardfork? And is it like the previous one? That I need to transfer from exchange to wallet?

November. Coinbase will probably be forced to support it right away. It's their mess.

Coinbase is forced to support both forks at the time of the hardfork and need to let the market decide which is the real Bitcoin.

Has China banned Bitcoin?

Or was South Korea this time?

Or maybe some big whale got bored and wanted to troll a bit?

it is from large sells. Someone have inside news or just making some profit.

They should rent themselves a richly lakeside condo now. That's what I'd do.

That cluster in early october is making me excited  

We'll see where Bitcoin goes. So far, it's been exploding pretty well. I think I was right with the coin needing some time before rebounding. We'll see how much further it gets on this climb.

Oct. 8 is conspicuously open.

What happens if it falls on that date?

 

I believe that it goes to whoever is closest. In this case player514 would get it if it happens before noon UTC, and Oinas if in the afternoon UTC.

No than its bad news for me ....and they each win When its in the middle a pay 2 times

If I understand it correctly we will not be able to use 2x coins without replay protection. transfering 2x coins without replay protection also transfers your bitcoins.

Actually, the coins can be splitted, but they must be tainted by newly mined coins. While this option can be included  in the wallets updates, I am not sure if this will be done by all major exchanges. In the past they required replay protection, we will see this time what they decide. Anyway, for some time nobody will know what the price of the 2 bitcoins should be, which may lead to another bearish fall during the days/weeks of uncertainty. At least this happened after the announcements about the BU fork. Now again the two sides for pollitical reasons are refusing to make mandatory replay protection. If Lee's advice is followed, the new 2x thing should be altcoin like BCH:
"So Coinbase is forced to support both forks at the time of the hardfork and need to let the market decide which is the real Bitcoin. Now the question is which fork will retain the “BTC” and “Bitcoin” moniker and which will be listed as something separate. Although Coinbase signed the NYA agreement, I do not believe that this agreement binds them in any way with respect to how to name the separate forks. For practical reasons, the BTC symbol belongs to the incumbent, which is the original chain. This is because there will be no disruption to people who are running Bitcoin Core software and depositing/withdrawing BTC to/from Coinbase and GDAX. And only if you trade the coin on the 2x fork, would you need to download and run the BTC1 Segwit2x client.
If the market really supports this Segwit2x upgrade, that coin will trade at a higher price. And then we will all agree which is Bitcoin and which is a minority fork. There will be no contention at that point."

In the same time everyone is asking how btc will be the 'true bitcoin' with 5-10% of the hashrate?
