Best way to claim all the upcoming forks is to store your Bitcoins in a local wallet where you can control, view or export your private keys. I personally use Electrum for this, but you can also use another wallet with private key support.

It is highly recommended to send all your coins to a new wallet before you expose your private rather import it into a fork wallet, because there are many scammers out there just waiting to steal your BTC.

It is recommended to put your bitcoin in large exchanges. Large exchanges generally support bitcoin split snapshots, so that you can get your fork money for the first time. And what I want to say is that only a small number of split and contrastive coins are good, and most forks will end up at a worthless point.

Well...what kind of fork they are talking about here https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/guides/what-is-a-bitcoin-fork/
Your answer is inconsistent with that article. Is it difference in terminology?

i was wrong, sorry. i guess that is also called a fork.

New year bitcoin? for real? I don't like the name as it's seasonal. Based on the others this is the worst. I'd like to study the others.

it is only going to last a short while anyways, i would be surprised to see half of these forks stay alive for more than a year, maybe even 6 months.

which one? Cheesy
there are currently at least 10 forks planned to happen! and some of them already happened.

here is a list of forks that i know of:
name -------------- block height for snapshot
Super Bitcoin||498888
Bitcoin Platinum||498533
Lightning Bitcoin||499999
Bitcoin Platinum||500000
Bitcoin Uranium||500000
Bitcoin God||501225
Bitcoin Cash Plus||501407
New Year Bitcoin||520101
Bitcoin_Diamond||TBD
Bitcoin_Silver||TBD

some of these may not be accurate because sources are different and they may also change.

p.s. Current Block Height

that is not a fork. what you say is a bunch of terminology regarding new blocks and what happens to them in different cases like when the block has not parent. read it here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5859/what-are-orphaned-and-stale-blocks

a fork in programming is when you "copy the original code" for yourself to change it.
but a fork in bitcoin is when you change the "rules" of bitcoin. for example changing consensus rules about block size. some refer to it as "making something that was invalid before, valid. or making something that was valid before, invalid"
in case of the list i mentioned here, these people are changing something about bitcoin. some increase the block size some change the algorithm, change the supply,... this change results in a new chain and a new coin which we call an "altcoin".

Don't forget to put you btc in BIANANCE. they support each and every forks.

Why would you recommend that as opposed to having the OP place his coin in a wallet which he controls? Anyone concerned about such things ought to spend time looking at and coming to terms with what it means to own cryptocurrency.

To the OP: you need to start reading up on wallets. Spend time learning how they work. At the very least download a few wallets and see how they work.

https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet lists wallets.

I use electrum and armory. If you're going to stay in the crypto world you need to understand how wallets work.

Put your Bitcoin in wallet of which you control the private keys. Coinbase doesn't support most forks.

Here's another one!)
Maybe this is SCAM, but for SCAM it is too plausible, and it is possible that it will be the next one)
Maybe not, decide yourself))

I'm confused... Could you please explain? Forks occur when blocks are found within few seconds of each other, implying that one of them will eventually been orphaned. What is that list of forks that you gave above? How did they occur?
