Hi,
I hope everyone's day is going well.
Here is the thing:
- Recently purchased a Ledger Nano S to hold ma new BTC (because I do not trust coinbase even though I should).
- When I went to move it over to my hardware, the chrome ledger app for BTC asked if I wanted to switch my blockchain to SegWit2X. It mentioned stuff like "it is safer, faster, and the fees are much lower". Naturally, it sounded like a good idea; so I switched blockchians to it instead of the original BTC blockchain.
- Looking at forums, articles, and youtube videos, I have several reservations now about doing this: will my SegWit2X coins be equivalent to original BTCs; if they are not, how will I determine their equivalence; and should I just revert my wallet's blockchain to the original BTC (b/c I am not sure if I opted into reply attack protection).
I hope these questions are not too stupid.
I am still learning to sort out the crappy information from good stuff.
Respectfully,
Michael
Don't worry because you have the same amount of coins from both gains because btc segwit 2X is a fork originating from the original bitcoin blockchain. They aren't the same with value though still you can revert with them anytime. All you need to have is your private key and you can interchange between them. That's why some hoarded, they have done that in order to get b2X too which is literally free money if one held btc but still like btc it has potential to go on par with original chain.
