Bitcoin Diamond .... is it a scam?

[Fundalini]

I don't think its a scam at least but it is a shitcoin for sure with no actual improvements made and just a complete clone. But seriously wth is happening to bitcoin right now? It's starting to look like a pokemon franchise: bitcoin diamond, bitcoin platinum soon there'd be bitcoin sapphire and emerald.

[howard.ashoul]

Yes, it is! They require you transfer your BTC to their wallet.

[Moana]

soon bitcoin brilliant, platinum,titanium, silver, bronze, metal, ruby,.......time of shit forks has began

Yes, the whole table of metals - it is not a scam it is just a farce. I cannot cope withg the fact that soo many people fall for it...

Hmmm, cant really declare if its a scam right now as everyone got their btd during fork
However what happen after might be interesting, stay alert

[Crypington]

I’ve been asking how you can fork a BlockChain at 10:1,  and see that mentioned there as “far fetched”.   What’s the deal with this?  Is it even possible?  I have serious doubts.

[Shipon123]

[leftover_potato]

Maybe yes maybe not, just wait and see what happen is the best we can do. We can't say it's scam if there is no proof they can survive on the real market, besides that every one has their own decision. I believe most people will take the safe way if there's something like this comes up, meaning they will replace their knowledge, trust and money into bitcoin it self. I'll not take part with Bitcoin Diamond, for me it's just alternative but bitcoin it self is the main. Just enjoy the real market and keep grow up our skill to face the risk like this. Thank you and good luck.

Bitcoin diamond is not really scam but really often fork make people dont really believe in product.
So many product born from the several fork. The only have big attention is first one like bitcoin cash.

[RoommateAgreement]

any idea if any top 5 exchange will start to adopt BCD?

can't say anything at this point. the big exchanges only list these things if they have a high volume and it is worth the effort. because they have to run their wallet and it is a tough thing to do specially since they need a full node for security reasons and full node requires at least 150 GB space of their servers. each fork like this takes up that much they will be left with no server space!

been a hell of a year end fork. 2018, more forks incoming?

most probably yes. 2018 will be a disastrous year full of scams and filled with infected people who lose bitcoin because they got greedy to claim some fork coin.

[Indrawan77]

It is too early to detect bitcoin diamond as scam, but the one that I know is all people not interested in this coin and most of the people confuse why bitcoin got so many forking, and bitcoin diamond will be in a trash list by the investors, so be careful if you want to invest in bcd

[Taro_Naza]

If it looks and smells fishy, than it is a fish, a dead scam laced fish.

Why would someone bother to fork bitcoin anyways?
Bitcoin is great except for its scalability problems.  There have already been tons of projects that have tried to fix this.
So what new and upcoming forks will do so differently that will guarantee bitcoin's scalability issues gets fixed?

Nah, it really is all just to get more money.
Forking bitcoin brings with it the benefit of putting bitcoin into your shitty altcoin's name (I guarantee there will someday be a bitcoin rainbow, just wait and see.)
Also, the increase in forks is a response to the past cases where btc pumped before a fork because people desperately wanted, "Free coins!"
This allows people to appreciate on their already held btc, mine the crap out of their forked coin before release, and capitalize upon distribution to exchanges.

Also, have you realized that these forks are kind following pokemon's various names and incarantions over the years? So we can expect a bitcoin sapphire and ruby, bitcoin crystal etc. etc.

I agree it is a joke, they see it as a cashing machine. fork and make money and the people like free money.

[BitcoinLoan]

Every coin whose have the most popular coin in own name are worthless, in my opinion the best way is disregard coins like its

[haileysantos95]

It will be a scam soon enough, trying to use the word "bitcoin" and incorporate it with "diamond" to create the own coin (doesnt have originality).
These people only wants money from unsuspecting investors, just like bitcoin gold a fishy looking coin.

[Bambinoe]

Really looks fishy. But we can do our due diligence by investigating.

[CryptoLex]

These forks are the new "ICO's" completly useless if you ask me

[crimsongoth]

Bitcoin gold, diamond, silver, etc. this job has gone out of its way. It was a total nonsense. In the world of Blockchain, many coins have started to come out under the name of bitcoin, which has no meaning or endurance to earn for a pittance. These are because of greedy mining companies. They are hurting confidence that bitcoin created.
