Reasons why Bitcoin still safe because of Alt Coins and so does Hard Forks. The first Hard Fork (Bitcoin Cash) was successful and not only to compete top digital currencies but to help Bitcoin to raise the slope of the graph to the top. So then the upcoming Hard Fork (Bitcoin Gold) although nothings' new but basically some good features will be on the pack. These are meant to keep Bitcoin push higher investments rather than destroying it that was mentioned earlier after the first fork.
With my utmost respect this is misleading to say the least.
BCC was a friendly fork with strong replay protection.
BTG could be a friendly fork IF strong replay protection will be implemented,
which IT IS NOT YET the case less than one day from fork !!!
SEGWIT2X is a hostile fork, with no replay protection by design (so by design it will allow for double spending, nice eh
); SEGWIT2X is meant to increase miners incomes and will have all the right things in place to allow for turning BTC into a private game for restricted numbers.
33 of the original 56 signatories of NYA, around 59%, are portfolio companies in the Digital Currency Group (DCG), an investment company run by the principal instigator of the NYA. Even nicer
