Coindesk: If hardfork with BTU, major exchanges will list it as an Alt Coin

[anakinisme]

I am so confuse with the current situation..

[seradj0]

the most important thing now is that bitcoin don't split in two coin

[JohnUser]

Nice, i would buy BU coin for sure Maybe i should buy Onecoin also  . Do you guys still think if that huge scam is still avaliable? I dont see it anywhere on coinmarketcap.

Laurent Leloup wrote a book about blockchain, best sell on amazon.fr : in his book he say Onecoin is the best crypto ever... So he sell his book and his scam coin in the same time.

Hahaha that was one heck of a strategy to sell his scam coin, making a book to sell it is one unique strategy to begin with. I really do hope that those supporting BU have woken up to the reality that it is yet another altcoin and not bitcoin itself and that it is yet another scam coin which wasn't a real currency in the first place. I fell bad for them but I know some of them have made money using BTU so lucky for those who did.

My understanding is that if there is a hard fork, both coins will exist but over time one will most likely drop to zero. So if BTC were the loser, then BTU couldn't really be called an altcoin at that point, correct?

I don't think one will drop to zero, it is likely both will continue to exist like ETH and ETC both still do. If BTU somehow becomes the higher valued coin and manages not to crash due to a bug then I'd personally still see it as an altcoin, just an altcoin that managed to pass Bitcoin in value. It is also possible both BTC and BTU will become worth less than some other altcoin like Ethereum, which is not an unlikely outcome at all in my opinion.

I think the current BTU is dead, although it may be reincarnated in a new form.

I agree, but I think Bitcoin also adapts and becomes stronger with each new form of attack like this. We're lucky BU devs lacked the technical skills, or else we'd really might have gone through a persistent coin split. Some might have wanted this, but I think then Bitcoin would have been in real danger of losing its advantage to certain altcoins. Obviously people who are heavily invested in altcoins will want the Bitcoin community to stay divided or split in two, so we'll always be under constant attack from that.

I'd like to call it a forked coin by the original bitcoin the same as ethereum case.

Because the name of BTU will be pegged on the name of bitcoin reputation. As far as I know the Forked will make the price of the original coin will be less in the future. I don't ever think the price of bitcoin will less than both of the ethereum and ethereum classic. Bitcoin still has a different class with them.

As per Coindesk: In the event of a hardfork with BTU, major exchanges will list BTU as BTU or XBT.

BU will be good to increase the homeless population.  :-D

At this point in time, I cannot see BU being activated or SegWit for that matter.

I think BU would mostly happen cos its like an altcoin, you just fork it. Just like ETC

BU will be no help to Bitcoin. You see what happen to ETH hardfork and now no one cares about ETC, as only the ETH rules. Same way BU will be treated and BTC cant be replaced, not by the BU even.

Not really surprising at all.

Bitcoin core will remain as "BTC" as most exchanges are saying right now, and in my opinion rightfully so because it is developed by the core team. And Bitcoin Unlimited will be traded as an altcoin.

I think this will be great news for traders and speculators.

You can already buy BTU and BCC tokens on Bitfinex, on margin as well I believe. So for those who want to take a gamble and missed out on the ETF decision, here's the chance to do it again

That's true for majority bitcoiner, but if BU community really solid, then BU will stay alive and i think majority bitcoiner will dump their BU for extra BTC, fiat or other cryptocurrency.

Did you see what is the proof if the BU community is a solid community? If they're a solid community and they were not spreading a lie to gain more new supporter for the BU itself.

In short, it's win-win solution since everyone could earn extra BTC or BU unless the price dropped

Doing a hardfork for the bitcoin chain just for a worthless coin like BTU? With the buggy code by the BU dev and Do you think if that is a good solution? according to your win-win solution.
Rather than BU and Extension block is much better.

[NoviceCrypto]

I have a question ,
If Core is not able to get 95% for SegWit what Core will do in that case ?
95% support for SegWit will only possible if Unlimited forked from Core and become an altcoin.
So what If BU team do not fork and keep things as it is no matter how much hash power they have ( 43.95% as of now based on coin.dance/blocks)?

When the splitting was going on as a serious issue most of the exchanges​ planned of listing both as separate coin providing them the same value, but it hasn't come to implementation as from the bug crash BU started to fall and lost all the majority support gained in a few days.
