I'm happy to be proved wrong here but this is how I feel about the forks...
BCH - sold pretty much all straight away and did extremely well out of it and boosted my btc holdings.
Bgold - looks like it could be a waste of time and worth nothing more than a couple of potatoes each + no replay protection
2x - a real spanner in the works, no replay protection and creates yet more FUD and confusion on exchanges.
Personally I want the forks to fork off. I am slightly worried about doing anything with these coins due to the lack of replay protection which potentially could jeopardise my btc.
This Bgold smells fishy to me. From the very beginning when they released their copy and paste website put together by a dyslexic 7 year old. I'm not even going to take the language barrier as an excuse. If you are going to release something like this then start by making a decent web page.
Does everyone think the 2X fork will actually go ahead now that jeff garzik will be concentrating on his wondercoin and the fact that the 2x futures are now trading at $130~? If B2X doesn't happen, how will the exchanges cope with the customers who bought it in exchange of their BTC? Will the trades be reversed? (This may very well be applicable to BTG too) |

So they say things are "priced in" when we all expect a pump due to something that's positive for bitcoin happening in the near future....
Does the same rule apply for something negative?
I mean with 2x and all that bullshit saying they are the real bitcoin and no need for replay protection etc etc. It's pretty negative really so why a little pumpy situation now? Surely the dump is priced in? It makes no sense as 2x will be in November and we all know this. It's no secret.
Doesn't make sense to me unless there is nothing to worry about and it's all just FUD. Maybe this is the situation. Maybe the big players know this by now and are accumulating yet more bitcoin as they know 2018 is going to be a crazy bitcoin year.

 Looks RSK is coming with an ICO pre sale in december this year. Decky: "they are going to create tools to make porting from Ethereum network over to Bitcoin seemless for existing coins" So what do you think guys? Bullish? The Eth killer?? An ICO on Bitcoin. Do you like it or not?? RSK doesn't actually improve the problems of smart contracts. They're still going to be fraught with difficulty for a while. Could be interesting to see whether this sort of thing helps or damages Ethereum. |

Thanks for your replies. Glad we're not buying any of that shit. If they happen, it's free money. If they don't, the people buying these 'futures' right now are going to get REKT hard. |

Is it the same for bitcoingold ? Do we have only "future" of bitcoingold now ? I thought that if we had "fake/imaginary" bitcoin gold coins, the website coinmarketcap should list it as "future". |

This constant forking farce is just getting more comical by the minute. The state actors are getting so desperate now to slow or stop Bitcoin's stampede of growth, they will try anything. They are losing. Bitcoiners can see through the charade. |

I think it's just en vogue in the moment. But BitcoinCash and BitcoinGold showed that one cannot simply take over bitcoin. Segwit2x will fail too.
So after these events i'm not really concerned anymore. On the other hand one may argue that people like BitcoinGold Devs which premine their coin while still forking from Bitcoin in a clever way get rich. But that business plan probably can't be repeated forever.
