Topic: Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash vs new Bitcoin Private (Forks) (Read 208 times)

I hope that this fork will somehow push and revive the crypto-currency market. And to bitcoin private it will be necessary to take a closer look when it is already separated. I am positive about these forks, since the original bitcoin does not fulfill its functions to the full. Therefore, something needs to be changed.

Way too many forks are on the way, way too many! I think as soon as Lightning Network will come out, all the other forks of Bitcoin will be useless, as the Lightning Network will fix the bugs of Bitcoin.

Say what did I miss somthing here? Is really bitcoin Private a fork or bitcoin? when did this fork happend? I never know.

I will answer the big question base on my knowledge

Form me I think bitcoincash would come on top. First respect my post because I only know bitcoin cash among the forks that happend in the cryptocurrency.

So here I would say its bitcoincash and thats becauase its one of the coins I know so it means it can go big the other maybe weeks or months it depends because its just a duplication and added more names before bitcoin (even this are altcoins)

I have to disagree,bitcoin cash might have some use but being a centralized and manipulated by its founder wont be a good choice of investment,it has a lot of manipulations and you are just helping these people behind this coin to get more money from these noob investors,if bitcoin cash is a lot beter than bitcoin why this coin cannot surpass atleast ethereum??

I think that the latter has no chance. Unlike bitcoin cash. Bitcoin cash technically has differences and is more convenient in use. The latter is completely useless.

It might be a good opportunity to get some profits before the snapshop happened i dont care about these forked coins,just want to take advantage the situation in the market so i could grow my bitcoins.I am not really interested with the forked coins,im going to sell my ZCL before the snapshot because it is too risky because we will expect a massive dump few seconds after the ZCL snapshot has ended.

Yes, you are correct. If you did not have any Bitcoin but you have Zclassic, you will receive 1:1 ratio (for either Bitcoin and/or Zclassic), but make sure to go look on Zclassic site and maybe use on of there wallets just to be sure. They developed wallet just for this purpose to ensure coins there will be matched with equal amount of Bitcoin Private.

It is an uneven ratio if you are comparing value of those two coins, at least what the value has been, but it is an unusual fork because it is not a split off of the main blockchain it is actually a merge of two different existing chains, BTC and Zclassic into a single new & hopefully improved blockchain.

And know one knows how the market will react... one of them may not keep the value in favor of another.

I really don't know anything about that coin, and part of the very last paragraph was emphasizing how many different Bitcoin varieties there seems to be... it's kind of ridiculous. Again they are not, but some may be, shoots from some of the same developers of Bitcoin. Definitely if there's a fork it seems the same devs must have decided to create a new coin due to an eminent or planned fork.

So you are referring to Bitcoin Diamond (BCD), I just searched on coinmarketcap.com. I cannot not really give you financial but if you bought it recently or during the slump in January, I would tend to hodl and maybe use to exchange for something else if market price goes up... hard to tell what will happen with market volatility.

You'd have to do a search and see if you can find out more about it, there was another fork after Bitcoin fork that created Bitcoin Cash... and one or two of the other ones were created, but I have not found a comprehensive timeline of how they evolved thus far (partly because there are feuding developers now between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash (and possibly we'll see about Bitcoin Private).

So far Bitcoin (BTC), called by some now 'core Bitcoin' or 'Bitcoin core', and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are far more retain far more value than any of the minor Bitcoin variants.

Okay, here's the website for Bitcoin Diamond, apparently forked by 2 miners unhappy with how unusable Bitcoin had become as far as a currency to transact with, clogging up the blockchain and requiring huge fees. It is a result of a fork in November. Good luck.

http://btcd.io/ - They actually have a chart up on the site with Bitcoin forks from last year, four of them.

Friends lets not be fooled by useless forks, they just want your precious btc, btc is the real gem, next uptrend in btc will start soon and we will see new all time high, do not sell or exchange your precious btc in this low price.

Now i know why ZCL is getting pumped last week upto now,im sure bitcoin holders will choose to buy more ZCL than buying more bitcoins because it is much more cheaper obviously,either of these two coins you hold you will still receive 1:1 ratio of BTCP.Im sure there will be a massive dump after bitcoin private snapshot has ended i already experienced it when i joined the IGNIS drop and got trapped to a shitty coin NXT.

Best thing is to go right to these two websites as they've made the announcement of the fork date and approximate snapshot, I''ll have to look again but it was scheduled for 28 Feb, 2018 and they are diligently testing the blockchain fork before they release it. The deliberately delayed to give extra time to really test out the fork.

Also you'll need to have your any Bitcoin and Zclassic in a 'fork' supported wallet. Again, I've looked into it a lot but wasn't able to put in all the reference due to my member level at the time. All the info. is prob. on both websites now.

Darn, I missed buying some Zclassic when it was about $68 US last week at one point.

Guess what coin have the same benefits comparing to Bitcoin? It is  Litecoin. The fact that Roger Ver claims that BCH is a real bitcoin sounts rediculous and ones more proves that he is a scammer. btw  both of those coins will lose their benefits after the release of LN. The fact that Bitcoin Provate wants to make privacy as a store of value sounds not realistic and the coin will definetely lose the competition to the existed coins. All those forks are just an attemps to get money out of nothing.

That sounds make sense at all. Bitcoin private has no purpose about that. The zclassic developers are trying to raise the more awareness to the zclassic coin by issued bitcoin private fork.
The fact that we don't seriously need privacy coin if the majority of exchange sites are implementing KYC and AML verification. And that makes the privacy coin seems to be worthless.

It is a scam to boost Zcl

Bitcoin Core is a bitcoin node software and a specific implementation of the Bitcoin protocol. It is also the reference implementation of Bitcoin.


The snapshot for the fork of Bitcoin private is expected to take place on the 28th of February. While its fork and Main Net launch date will be announced two days following the snapshot. Here is the official Bitcoin Private link for more info.

bitcoin private whether a new coin and forks of bitcoin, i will wait for the private bitcoin and will see the development of bitcoin private whether it has similarities with bitcoin or difference.

Better to buy and hold ZCL , bitcoin private is going to be superb coin in 2018

If not airdrop like "airdrops" you still need to hold bitcoin or zclasic coin to have bitcoin private. But the ratio is not fair i guess since the bitcoin price is higher that zclassic why bitcoin holder still get 1:1 ratio ? i hold 1 bitcoin worth of 7k usd and i get 1 btcprivate and i hold 1 zcl worth of 100 and get 1:1 ratio too. So i just need to hold Zcl right ?

how do you think about bcd? bcd is good? isee bcd don't allow withdrawn from any exchange,i has just bought some bcd

bitcoin gold has more to do with original bitcoin than bitcoin private does.  If anyone is piggybacking on the bitcoin brand it is bitcoin private.
