Some new forks coming up for bitcoin???

[Uberse]

Hi Folks,
Just received this email from QoinPro. Not sure, whether this is official, but isn't it strange that there are so many forks now coming up for Bitcoin. Is this the reason for the bullish ride today of Bitcoin?

Here the message in quotations:
"We've had BCH (Bitcoin Cash), BTG (Bitcoin Gold) and BCD (Bitcoin Diamond) and more forks are coming. Forks planned for December 2017 and January 2018 are:
•   Dec 17, 2017 - Super Bitcoin (#SBTC)
•   Jan 2, 2018 - Bitcoin Cash Plus (#BCP)
•   Jan 28, 2018 0 B2X reattempt by the community (#B2X)"

I'm beginning to think that we have nothing to fear from the coming hurricane of hard forks. We might even have a little to gain. Take a look at the latest list of all cryptocurrencies: https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/. At the present moment there are 1326 of them. Are any or all of them harmful to Bitcoin? Apparently not, to judge by recent Bitcoin prices. Now imagine if they were all hard forks off the old BTClockchain. That's quite a lot of collective valuation that would have airdropped to the collective of Bitcoin-holders. I also wonder if most future altcoins will themselves be hard forks. After all, who would bother with a non-BTClockchain altcoin when there is one just like it that hard-forked off the old BTClock? Even if both are all but useless, the one that airdrops even a smidgen of valuation at least will be noticed momentarily. An airdrop might come to be viewed as a sort of business license in the crypto community -- a fee that must be paid to be taken seriously at all. Which would seem to be a reasonable requirement. Perhaps, to paraphrase Mao Zedong, we should let a hundred hard-forks bloom.

There will be 5 forks in just a few months! That's incredible if its true..

[jseverson]

...wow. Should I even bother looking up what these coins do differently? At this point, these forks are a waste of time. It seems to me like the community has gotten a little bit desensitized with all these forks. Heck, I'm not even interested in the airdrops. This is getting ridiculous.

As for their long term effects, I'm pretty sure it's zero. None of these will be able to generate enough support and interest to be considered a contender for the true Bitcoin title. They may be able to cause mini pumps just because some people want airdrops, and nothing else. They'll be lucky enough for exchanges to even list them though.

You ain't seen nuthin' yet. But don't worry about it.

Exactly so. But still, a little bit of airdropped valuation is better than none. And none is what you get from a non-BTClockchain altcoin -- and nobody's talking about limiting them.

Yes there is so if i were you buy and hold bitcoin and leave it in an exchange so you got all the fork of bitcoin. free money coming on your way. sell it when the market is hot!

You don't have to leave it in an exchange to get the airdropped money and you shouldn't. Never leave substantial crypto's in an exchange. You can have them printed out on a piece of paper and still get the airdrop if you owned bitcoins at the time of the fork.

Well that is somehow expected, at first it was bitcoin cash then bitcoin gold so it is only safe to assume that there will be another coins diamond, black, blue, red, etc much like a pokemon game but the thing is these alt coins will not thrive reason for that is because only a few people will support that mostly traders majority of the community supports bitcoin and i think that is why it keeps on rising.

[whoisyourking]

I dont really understand why they are working with lots of forks if they can do it in one fork, sorry for my question im just asking, I know that there is a purpose and what is the purposes in each forks?

[dimastegar]

Each fork will definitely interest Bitcoin Holders. Because they will get Airdrop for every Bitcoin they have with a ratio that is generally 1: 1 / 1:10. And this is the advantage of being a Bitcoin Holder.

I don't think any of these forks have much influence on the current BTC price since I honestly doubt that anyone really cares about these forks anymore.

Also the amount of forks we are seeing isn't all that strange. After all anyone can do a hardfork, and there seems to be profits to be made for the devs of each fork.

On the contrary, when there is a fork coming up, people are flocking in the Bitcoin traffic to convert some fiat or altcoins into Bitcoin. This is primarily because forks mean easy money. Every time there is a fork scheduled to happen, the pattern is usually that there is strong pump happening beforehand. Give-away coins from there forks to those Bitcoin holders are very attractive to many crypto fans.

If that is true, than its really, really sad. I dont think anyone cares for anymore forks. This is ridiculous, all those new coins trying to take advantage of bitcoins name. Why not just create a real altcoin without abusing bitcoins name for it?

After what happened to B2X I don't think people still cares about fork coins. It is clear that forking the blockchain is just a way for some people to earn more. These forked coins only have a little audience in the crypto currency community and I doubt that another fork coin will be successful in the future.

thanks to UASF, they used it as an excuse to create UAHF and create bitcoin cash with it, that started all this crap which we will be stuck with for a long time. and we will continue to see lots of shit-forks creating useless tokens one after another and each time with a lower price.

i also expect lots and lots of money loss due to these so called forks, where people either lose money because they send it to a wrong address or because there were no working replay protection and obviously like always there are scams like what BTG did by posting a fake web wallet on their official website and then also injecting a malware in their official wallet BTG core!

Unfortunately this is what we have to live with as it seems developers no longer want to go through the hassle of developing a working project. To go for an ICO, the publicity, the whole analysis of the project up to the point of knowing who and what the project is all about, the legality that surrounds it, among other issues which I feel necessitated the continue and no end in sight of the several forks that are yet to come. All I see here is some people needing to keep their wallet fat and not anything extra to contribute to the community.

Ok, the explanation is actually very easy to explain. Step 1 : Pre-mine the coin -- Step 2 : Wait for other people to push up the price -- Step 3 : Sell pre-mined coins for a huge pay day.

This is the latest version of Scam COINS in my opinion, because these developers pre-mine the coin and make tons of money, because people are led to believe that this is the improved version of Bitcoin. ^grrrrrr^

Most of the promised features of Super shit Bitcoin is not even included in the forked coin that would be released. ^lol^

yeah thats true, the new form of scam are came from the forks. they want us to believe on their coins and support it like how we support bitcoin. and now after the recent fork they want to create again a new fork to make us split into some options rather than we choose bitcoin, how pathetic these people are. they only wants to earn more money and not to contribute/support in our future currency which is the real bitcoin.

this data is interesting and maybe, just maybe, some of the forks will be executed (probably not). But treat the email as an attempt to lule you into investing into something the author of the email is selling, not as a good advice. This is what I would do. Nobody sends out emails just to inform people on something.
