Let's look back at Bitcoin Cash and evaluate what happened and based on this information, predict what will happen to the Bitcoin price, building up to Bitcoin Gold fork.
A lot of people got some FREE Bitcoin Cash, based on the amount of bitcoins they owned on the day it forked to create Bitcoin Cash. Now we seem to be having a repeat of this scenario, but this time it will be Bitcoin Gold.
I predict that a lot of people will be buying more bitcoins in a buildup to this fork and more people will be hoarding their coins, to increase the amount of FREE Bitcoin Gold they will be receiving on the day of the fork.
Less supply and increased demand, will push up the Bitcoin price, building up to this event. Right?
This depends on how seriously people take Bitcoin Gold... And its website is laughable at best. Hell, don't they have anyone in their team who knows how to use the English language? This is ugly and shows laziness on the part of the BTG team. Would you trust a coin whose code is written (or messed with) by these guys?
OTOH, free money is free money, and it is welcome...
Edit: Bitcoin Gold's website now only displays "OCTOBER 25" as the day of the fork... Well, it's better than those Google Translate texts they put up earlier. Let's see how this is going to play out...
