Second hard Fork impact

[JusiW]

Hi, iam new and just wondering if BTG market scenario will be repeated again before the coming 2SegWit, i.e. BTC will go up while Alts falls, and if so, when that will be expected as there is a very short period from now to that to be happen ? some advises please

It is hard to tell if bitcoin and altcoin value will really be affected during SegWit2X event in which will happen i think on Nov 25. Most of posted here are all speculation in which only 50% accuracy of it may possible to happen. I suggest that we continue to hoard our coins then we will just wait and see what will happen on the day SegWit2x will take effect so that we could have a clearly an accurate market value details then after that we decide what to do next.

there really wasn't any "BTG market scenario" to want it to repeat! some people said the rise was because of bitcoin gold but as you can see the block that was used has already come and long gone and we have build so many blocks on top of it already and price only dropped a tiny bit and it even recovered back up to $5700ish, so you can't really say the rise was because of BTG or it was a BTG market scenario.

that was mostly the natural course of bitcoin, being adopted, and rising,... and that only got intensified with bitcoin gold a little.

as for SegWit2x, i believe things can be a little different because it is more of a serious fork than the incomplete bitcoin gold which doesn't even have the code for it completed !

Ok iam agree with u that increase in BTC was naturally NOT bcz of BTG, BUT what about Alts faaaaalls, that was due to all holders moved their funds to BTC,,,,, so this is exactly my query is SegWit2X will offer anything to make the holders do the same ??

[de_crypt]

I think we will see something similar, but in a lighter version.
This also depends on the price of BTG after coming to exchanges.

The BCH story showed that you can earn good money on selling forked currency, so people think this will be another case

Yes, MiF, I agree with you. It is difficult to say that Bitcoin and others Altcoin will really affect or not. But I think something will happen. I am not 100% sure. I am a Bitcoin holder. I want to wait and see what will happen actually.

Last time all exchanges add this to the moment, but here on bitcoin gold many refuse to do this, just few exchanges have add bitcoin gold. Many dont want to have anything to do with it but maybe they will add this later if demand comes to some point they have some interest from it, i dont see any other way.

I don't think so. Segwit2x has way more support than Bitcoin Gold. Bitcoin Gold is just a small experiment, it's an actually good one because it uses equihash and I would like to see if miners are interested in that, but Segwit2x is a serious attack on Bitcoin, they have corporations backing it, so im sure a lot of speculators are going to lose recieving B2X coin. I think B2X will be worth more than Bgold for a while, even if it ultimately both B2X and BGT will be worthless.

most of them can not know correctly about the effects in bitcoin or altcoin, it may happen but we do not know exactly, but what we see today prices are bitcoin up and altcoin value is down, but it can also be between the bitcoin and altcoin the price can be the same ride when segwit2x, we can only be patient and see the reality together later in november.

[killerfrost]

Bitcoin prices are falling and preparing for a boom because of BTG's release and they promised to give BTG to anyone who owns the BTC so that at the present time there will be a lot of people Buy BTC for BTG. So, I recommend investing in BTC now because its price is decreasing

Don't people think that there are too many forks? The number of wallets needed is becoming crazy.

[shimbark123]

I believe that in this fork there would be a big pump of bitcoin before that. But there would be a great dump on altcoins. Just like what is happening right now. We all have a choice in this, change our alts to btc or not.

[lucifochrome]

No one is certain when will this event unfold as most people here are just speculating, some said that it is going to happen some time november. Either the 1st or last week. I don't think the same thing will happen again as to what happened back on bitcoin cash. There are just way too many factors that affected the fall of the price. As what most people say here, this fork with bitcoin gold will not affect bitcoin much but for segwit2x it is a different story. Some stated that it is more complete than bitcoin gold still it cannot compete with bitcoin as bitcoin is more trusted than any other coins. Guess we will just have to wait and see once this happens.

Next hardfork will be happening on november18 now altcoins price are getting stable some high potential coins are gaining value like ethereum , centra , csno today only raised more than 25% so this time most of the altcoins will be gold which is bought for very less price. I don’t see huge alt coins fall in upcoming days before next hard fork.

[jseverson]

Well it happened with BCH and BTG, so it will likely happen again. The effect was much tamer on BTG than BCH, but that could be because there's a fork scheduled so soon after it. We might see the full effects once we near the B2X fork. Either way, I expect the B2X fork to make larger waves than either BCH and BTG. B2X is more likely to retain its value than the two of them after all.

My thoughts exactly. The money is being funneled into BTC for the purpose of BTG airdrop and once that's done some BTG will get sold immediately and the money from it moved to BTC and Altcoins. Since some people will want to sell BTC they bought only for the purpose of getting BTG we can expect fluctuations. THe end result will depend on how many people will put money from BTG into BTC and how many will cash out of invest in altcoins.

for the second HF is not very influential on the price Bitcoin is not like the first everyone is worried the bitcoin price goes down, but do not know what happened to the third HF this November what will be the same as now or will affect the price of Bitcoin ..

[smokeydog]

This is all bad news.  We have been told over and over and over.  There will never be more then 21,000,000 bitcoins.  So how do we get around that so we can turn bitcoin back into fiat which can be inflated.

Bitcoin
BitcoinCash
BitcoinGold

what's next
BitcoinSilver
Bitcoin Platinum
Bitcoin Rhodium
Bitcoin Copper
SuperBitcon
LeftFootBitcoin
RightFootBitcoin

all will never grow past 21,000,000.  The cracks are starting to develop.  I'm selling out and going back to real gold and real silver.  Too bad, this could have worked but, in the end it can be inflated just like any other fiat which makes it fiat too.  It's just another fiat system only digital as is the Feds balance sheet.

I'm very disappointed in what people are doing to this.

[beatleap]

It hasn't hit the price like I was expecting and has had a much less impact than it did the last hard fork. Hopefully we can get it a little bit lower before another spike in price.

[Nitroshock]

They say to buy the rumor and sell the news so it's quite likely we're already seeing the pricing/market action from Segwit2x even though the actual event is still a month out.

As for BCG, I think it's a poorly disguised joke intended to make the devs rich and there's very little info released from the dev team to suggest otherwise.  They're pre-mining (up to) 1% right now under the guise of "testing" yet dodge any legit concerns regarding replay protection, wallet, etc.

So sure, people love free coins and the BTC and ALT markets seem rich with speculation on BCG but tough to say how much of the action is from BCG or Segwit.

Sadly, forking BTC is gonna be the next get-rich-quick version of ICOs and ITOs and become much more prevalent so who knows how the markets will react.
