No, bitcoin, is different from the other forks.

Most forks (btc gold, btc diamond, and btc xx) are shitty altcoins, you should understand that, so whatever you do, do not buy them because they are just created for fun purposes, they are not technical.

And you can not store them all on the same wallet, maybe you can buy a trezor or a ledger and you can store them all in the same device (not the same wallet)

But dont buy them, they are useless.

first thing you need to understand is that your wallet does NOT hold any coins! what it is holding is private key(s). the "coins" or transaction outputs are stored on the blockchain and you use these keys to cryptographically prove you are the owner.

each private key is simply a big number which you see in a special format called base58.
these keys then go into some process (elliptic curve and hashing) to get the public key and your address. here is the difference. some coins like bitcoin gold use a different byte for their address so the first letter and the hex result is different.

so to answer your real question:
you can use the same key pair to receive all these new coins and bitcoin. but in order to spend them you will need a separate wallet because their blockchains are separate and different and also the way signing a transaction works is different in them to protect against replay attacks.

There only one BITCOIN other are called ALTCOIN , Be careful when you send coin for exact address , If you sent coin to wrong address all thing gone,

You can't deposit all coins to Bitcoin wallet BTC wallet , As a example In coinbase There are different wallert address be srure give exact address for different coin Don't give same address for different coins

Check 2 times before send address

Here, if you are try is from bitcoins to bitcoins, like xchange bitcoins to your own, or exchange to exchange bitcoins, yes you can, you just pay service charge.
If you are try to deposit to different of coins, no, you will losse the coirn, so you need take care that BTC-BTC you can not BTC-ETH or any of other coins.

No. If you do such, coins that aren't compatible with your wallet would be lost forever. Certain wallets do have certain coin compatibility so you need to be careful in choosing your wallet so as not to lose your funds forever. Exodus and Jaxx would be your best bet in handling multiple forked coins such as BCH, BTG, and BTC as well as other future forks if the dev team of the said wallets would include them.

Yeah I would look in to Exodus or Jaxx too. They are easy to understand and trustworthy as well.

hi,

2nd post (right section) hello

can any bitcoin wallet hold - bitcoin gold, bitcoin diamond etc - im looking at buying btcx but it shows as bread as the only ios wallet - which 1, just looks like a normal bitcoin wallet and 2, hasnt got great reviews. there is no desktop wallet and i cant see where to hold them

can i withdraw to blockchain wallet for example?

thanks

There are some multi coins wallets like Exodus for example (www.exodus.io) but even so the wallet has divided , BTC in a BTC wallet, ETH on a ETH wallet and so on, it only offers you a place to keep all your coins together. I don't recommend to a newbie like you a multi coin wallet, stick with BTC wallets like Electrum for the moment and once you learn your way through you can move on to multi coin wallets like Exodus.

Do not mix them bro. You can get fork coins thanks to your BTC but it does not mean your BTC adress is suitible with fork coins.
