Can you explain more clearly please?Are you saying this hard fork AKA bitcoin unlimited will defeat bitcoin in hashing power and kill it off this way so people who hold BTC will have their value depleted this way and lose in the end?

I think exchanges will allocate 1:1 to BTC holders if the BU is listed as part of conditions for listing so this will not happen.


Are you recommending people diversify into other coins?Why?.. because if BU gets listed then they will surely lose out on 1:1 swap because they would not be holding BTC at this time of listing of BU.

Can you elaborate on exactly what is going to happen as this riddle could have many variables and in turn many answers to suit the actual result something like having many preconceived answers to suit all possible outcomes.

Actually it would be namecoin in my humble opinion that is the twin.

Namecoin is a different codebase than Bitcoin.  Not a twin.

It depends on your risk tolerance and how btc you have. 

You can hold your btc and you will get an equal amount on the BU chain.  I think most will do that.

There is a risk with this.  This hardfork isn't that well planned and numerous bugs have been found in the BU code already.  Plus there will probably be an attack on Bitcoin (core) by BU miners which could stall that chain and force another split to a new PoW algo.

If you add these two possibilities then there is a good probability of a massive panic and price crash.  It will be difficult for most to think clearly in such a scenario and if panic selling ensues it could get really ugly really fast.

So again, it depends on your situation and how much risk can you stomach. 

If I had say 1,000 btc I'd probably cash out 200 now to have a lot of cash to buy with.  And then wait on the 800 btc and double it to 1600 post split and hope there's no crash and it's easy to pic a winner.

If I had only a few btc I'd probably just wait and see cause my wife [hopefully] wouldn't leave me over such a small loss, in the event I were to make the wrong call after the split.

Personally, I think the worst case scenario is gonna happen, there are going to be bugs, Bitcoin (core version) will get attacked and they'll be forced to fork again to a new PoW algo thus splicing Bitcoin 3 times.  This would create mass confusion and the price would probably plummet at which point it would be hard to figure out what's what.

I think all hell is about to break loose.  I expected it to happen last summer which was why I kept saying:  it's gonna be a HOT summer.

Good luck!

"I'll say it again, human, your research on Bitcoin won't be complete unless you include Team Robert Mercer within. Including Vlad was a good choice. Can I have an apple or are you forever gonna treat me like your puppet?"

Hahaha.  No, you're not a puppet, you get an apple.

Interesting read.  This part stood out to me for some reason.  Wink


He first met Trump in the eighties. (“People said he was just a clown,” Caddell said. “But I’ve learned that you should always pay attention to successful ‘clowns.’ ”) .

so you have no skin in the game but a never ending amount of glee watching people lose money so you gain what exactly?

why are you here exactly?

And BTW, most people are not losing "money".  They're losing paper profits which is not quite the same socially and economically speaking.  That "money" will be transferred to others just like it was once transferred to those losing it.  

Just like stocks, it's a zero sum game.  

And the writing has been on the wall a long time - people chose to assume the risk so they have to take the loss with the same grace they boasted about their easy "moon" profits.

Most will lose all their BTC.  It's getting too complex and unstable already.  It's just a simple reality people need to face and diversify according to their risk tolerance.

Well, I had a lot of skin in the game until Vern took it all.  It's part cause I'm just a meanie but mostly it's this. 






4 years I've been accurately predicting things like this split and coming chaos just to be called crazy. 

I don't like that.  Nobody paid me a dime to be treated like shit, I was only trying to help people.  People who prefer to stay blind and mock those who see.

So now I'm enjoying the show; and mocking the mockers.

@Excellion FYI, it appears that BU devs have no intention of adding replay protection - their plan is to kill the Core chain instead.

To those in this /r/bitcoin sub riddle thread that read the above as "exchanges say BTU is an altcoin" you are missing the point. Exchanges are actually saying, "we are increasingly believing a HF is going to happen and here is how we are dealing with it practically."

Calling the new fork BTU is about practical issues related to running continuous markets. It is not "labelling the new chain an altcoin." Also stated in the announcement, is that if the fork chain (BTU) eventually becomes the clear dominance chain (upon a confluence of metrics), then it would be assigned the BTC symbol.


What?  Are you putting me on?  You got a link?

President Trump going Full-Bitcoin!

On Facebook today:

Andrew Jackson: We thank you for your service. We honor your memory. We build on your legacy & we thank God for the USA! - President Donald J. Trump

---

Err, Andrew Jackson's legacy was killing the banks.  This guy is gonna go all out on Bitcoin/crypto soon.  

Well, that explains why Peter Thiel donned a Hulk Hogan custom at a Robert Mercer function honoring Trump as they both at some time during the event quasi-privately talked about the day Bitcoin was conceived at another Mercer function eight summers prior with Thiel's cohort, a Cypherpunk (not Tom Jennings, but present), rounding out those in attendance, in which the framework of the now infamous white paper was thoroughly discussed, purposely dated on Halloween [day] (rhymes with Wei) 2008, because dressing up as something who/that's not is not only cute at least once a year for some, but more frequently cuz it's all the rage for others in certain circles who give a hoot, which may or may not have an owl in the hunt for red October.
