Bitcoin fork? I thought it was only on Ethereum?
And I wouldnt call it a mess, update sounds better
Because of the Bitcoin fork a lot of people are cashing out their altcoins to Bitcoin hoping to get free money in the form of Bitcoin Gold and especially Bitcoin SegWit2X. Until that fork is over, they have a lower appetite to invest into other crypto assets.
People are expecting a simular situation as Bitcoin Cash, where the fork created a new coin that had good value.
my opinion, bitcoin Gold is just an altcoin trying to use this form mania for marketing. I suspect it wont get much miner support, value will be very small or chain dies fast.
Segwit2x fork, very dangerous for Bitcoin , this is the political fork that has been debated about for years now. I would move out of bitcoin rather then move into bitcoin at the times for this fork
Honestly, I never expected the hype that the community has with Gold. It's like a barrel of TNT that the Bittrex affaire lighted up.
It is because of bitcoin cash. I think when it first released bitcoin was 4000$ and bcc was 600$, so people earned %15 overnight. It is a big ratio for any investing type. Now nobody wants to miss it, i can't blame them.
