I just think that everything is going to be normal after the fork, a lot of people are going to dump their new forked coins, and the price of it will go down in a few days, just exactly like it happened with bitcoin cash on the first days. But probably there would not be anything new with it, the market will remain volatile as always, so i dont expect much from this fork.

If the rumors of upcoming forks are actually true I'd be surprised. Two months ago was the Bitcoin Cash fork and apparently you can tell most of the people are still in favor of the original Bitcoin.

So I guess any upcoming forks would just go through the same path that BCH went through. COMPLETE FAILURE.
At least bitcoin cash has a community and a lot of people actually support it and believe that it's the solution to all bitcoin trouble.

But that new fork (whatever name they're gonna to it) what new does it have to offer ? Just a plain copy and paste won't go anywhere. Not even 1% close to BCH. So let them test and play but they'll eventually find out that they're wasting everyone's time.

Are you talking about the Bitcoin Gold fork? Because I agree that nothing will happens, and the coin will be just another shitcoin.

The real problem is S2X, which has a lot of support from major services and miners. Imagine trying to buy something with BTC by using Bitpay gateway and having to send them your coins from the S2X chain, or your coins from the legacy chain because they have no replay protection... I'm pretty sure lot of people will lose money.

i\I am in favor of these fork or upgrade with the bitcoin or any coin as long as the important features are safeguarded and it could improve the system. This is necessary to cope up with the current situation and to adjust with the demands.

This is maybe a stupid question - but this more recent fork seems like it came up out of nowhere pretty suddenly, and I follow the crypto news decently closely. From a technical standpoint, is it possible to make a fork happen pretty much at any point?

Well Bitcoin Gold fork is a complete joke it will just like other shitcoins make the internet full of trash. the real threat to the bitcoin network is the segwit2x hard fork why because the segwit2x has no protection against replay attacks which BCH setup before the hardfork  and it may cause the holders losing a lot of money. if 2x doesn't want to include replay protection, then the core must do something to protect the users getting losing their money because of replay attack.

The gold fork was actually trying to beat out the second larger fork. It's been disclosed on various sites and videos confirming why it suddenly appeared. as compared with the other more serious fork afterwards. Frankly we really should be pushing people to stay put for a while because more and more folks are adopting bitcoin these days.

Although there many possibilities that can happen when the Bitcoin is undergoing the fork, I think the same thing would happen with BTG as it happened with BCH. People would buy BTC and hold it to get free BTG and then will sell BTG to increase their BTC capital.
People wait for opportunities like these where one gets the chance to increase their capital.

Before fork = People will keep on buying bitcoin and price can easily go over ATH.
After fork = People will sell bitcoin and bitcoin gold for profit, price can go below $4k again.

I am holding my bitcoin in paper wallet for fork and bought few more at around $4k, waiting for good pump to sell those.

[kalteh]

Crazy thing is that instead of dropping, price is going up with people anticipate getting 'free' coins...

[affigne]

I thought airdrops were a no go this time...

Anyways, what was the initial value of BCH? And what do you think will be for BTG?

I'm ok with the fork as long as it will solve the current situation we are in like higher fee and slow transactions but majority of the stakes holders should be on it so it will go up fine and ok and it will be adopted by everyone.

Like after the previous one, the price may go up after this too. Maybe above 5K $.
Would be interesting to see though what does BTG brings to the table, what issues does it actually resolves.

[hridoyb]

Bitcoin reched again 4300$+.But i donot understand why bitcoin hit 4500$+?.IF bitcoin hit 4500$+ this week .i hope bitcoin break all previous record.Bitcoin will 5500$+ after next fork so Its time hold bitcoin.Bitcoin price now 4100-4300 so buy bitcoin and hold for this year.

The scenario would be just like the recent fork. There will be free money, bitcoin will fall a bit and rise again. Newbie could be a victim and sell their bitcoin, then realize it will rise again and buy on higher price.

[pooya87]

i was expecting a big fall in price these days that the FUD started and was expecting it to continue for a couple of weeks until the signalling for Segwit2x starts. but it seems like the fall was tiny $200 only, and price have already recovered. the closer we get i don't expect much of price fall.

as for fork itself i think it is too soon to tell what will happen with it.

[Loni]

That is the differ between a common man and a trader: the first buy at the hight because the coin grows well, but the trader buy at the bottom because it didn't grow yet.

[Maveth13]

Same thing that happened before. Most people that will receive the airdrop would immediately sell their coins, some will hold and wait and hope that the price will increase. Miners will keep switching between coins again, that would result in higher fees and slower transactions.

I will just keep 1 Bitcoin Gold . Is  a mistery to me if 2x will work or not, so I didn't decided whjat i will do in 45 days yet.
