Bitcoin Silver Fork - December

[bitcoincollector03]

Segwit2x cancelled, BCH have given so many issues in BTC transactions though still free dollars so not a problem, Now comes Bitcoin silver!!

What we will expect for this new fork? Do we hope for a litecoin version of BTC? Will this have a chance to skyrocket? given the specs:

BTSI Comparison
Supply: 21 Million
PoW algorithm: Equihash
Mining Hardware: GPU
Block Interval: 30 sec
Block size (actual): 1M (2-4M)
Difficulty adjustment: Every block
Segwit: Yes
Replay protection: Yes
Unique address format: Yes

If it is true and if it has been already confirmed, then it is going to be a good situation to see bitcoin going up again, maybe we are going to see it going upto $10k because a lot of people will start to invest again in order to receive those bitcoin silvers for free.
but it is annoying, i dont know why they just picked bitcoin "silver" it is weird because we already have a silver version of bitcoin, and it is the Litecoin, and it has been on the market for more than years.
Anyway, lets see how it goes on December.

Is this for real? People were joking about bitcoin silver and Bitcoin bronze after the BTG fork, bit are we seriously getting a bitcoin silver. So many forks just destroys the main aim of the forks, it just creates a new altcoin with 'bitcoin' in its name. And IMO I don't think this is serious, even BTG was not serious enough, and 2x was canceled, don't think this fork will even happen.

It seems is for real, I read about that fork some time ago, to be honest I do not see anything new once again with his fork and the fact that most of the forum is not aware of this fork tells me that it is not going to have such a big impact, to me the biggest impact it is going to come from the fact that we are very close that institutional money enters in bitcoin and when that happens the price is going to the moon.

Shouldn't this be posted on the Altcoins section?

It may still happen though , It feels like the community is already tired and done with the mess and shitty activities behind BTG and BCH.
I'll speculate that this is going to be another pump and dump altcoin fork of Bitcoin, but not sure enough if it will skyrocket, it depends on the developers and their next step, if it will be messy like BTG mess then don't expect that this coin will be pumped.

I have no problem with receiving my share of free coins but then again I am wondering seriously: Have we not crossed the stage where a hard fork resulting into a new version of Bitcoin is already a big joke? And can we have a non-contentious fork instead just like what occurred in the last fork for Ethereum? A hard fork is a big manifestation that the community is not really united and that greed has been leading the way. We are all serious on Bitcoin and its future that's why we should not gamble it away by resorting into something that can have many repercussions on Bitcoin's stability and future.

Why do they do it? They want to kill bitcoin? Only aggravate with forks a situation!!! The trust to bitcoin falls every day. Now the price rose because of the fact that many have begun to buy up bitcoin to receive money from a fork. But, don't do it. Further it will bring only disappointment. Stop the greed!

Bitcoin silver looks like to the bitcoin gold. Why he don't create hard fork from bitcoin gold ?
I think my question confuse developers of BTS

There are still few information if this hard fork on December will happen and no one still confirming if this is true, but if this really happens this is a big joke, why? they just copied all the specs of Bitcoin Gold using Equihash proof-of-work algorithm the only difference between this and BTG is that the block interval of BTCS is 30 sec the only thing that makes it interesting. Developers of this project (whoever they are) surely wants to make huge profit from thin air. But the good thing is we can expect that it will help boost the price of Bitcoin by just dumping this forked cryptocurrency after the launch and buy more Bitcoin.

So many forks for the last several months. I'm wondering why it happens. Bitcoin transactions became so slow lately. Who does benefit from making forks?

[Catmony]

Bitcoin gold which is GPU mine-able haven't got any attention till now and we can say it is a complete failure, this new one is almost same like bitcoin gold they aren't offering anything new and useful.

30 sec block interval 

[queenhallmark]

I am very upset that bitcoin will become useless soon. All these forka badly influence him. I don't understand, it is really difficult to buy bitcoin and to wait?

[dvabit]

First Cash then Gold and now Silver? I think it will be good if we can improve bitcoin transaction slow rate in some way..

[wizmo]

I have already seen too many jokes related to bitcoin forks but if it's true then price will surely rise again as lot's of people will come to bitcoins to claim their free coins. We may even see price will go up around $10000 if that's true.

[Karakyli]

Let the experiment. All the same, we can not do anything, but only while watching the process of periodic bifurcation of bitcoins. The market will put everything in its place. If bitcoin silver turns out to be without serious good improvements, it will be forgotten. However, only through various experiments can we get a normally working crypto currency.

We can expect this fork to be even more of a "non-event" than Bitcoin Gold. I think people have started to realize these are nothing but get rich quick attempts done by shady groups of people.

If you want a bitcoin version of litecoin, just use litecoin lol. No chance to skyrocket whatsoever. Bitcoin Gold did not succeed, and neither would Bitcoin Silver.

As long as this is profitable for some people <current BTC hoarders>, nobody will complain. The trend seems to be to develop a fork to get free coins and even to pre-mine it to get even more free coins. Why would someone who owns a few thousand coins, complain if their coins gets little puppies and they can sell that for a good profit?

At this stage the developers behind this project are not even identified yet, so nobody will trust it. It might even be Roger Ver or Jamie Dimon or some Bank that is doing this. A coin must be backed by people who can be trusted. ^hmmmm^

[CryptosapienZA]

This is yet another non event. Is this even still going on? I read about it a few weeks ago. Treats of forks are getting tired for real. These devs need to get to work and do some real work.
