The cynical view of the Bcash fork is as follows:
- November is historically the strongest month. Bitcoin almost always goes up in November
- The fork date is 15 November. This is smack in the middle of a rally month
- This date is a deliberate choice. Of the 365 days in the year, picking the single strongest price day of the year is no coincidence
- We know from past experience that forks cause price rallies
- The conclusion is that this hard fork date was deliberately chosen to create a rally
- Roger Ver has excellent skills at social media
- Crypto twitter and Reddit love a drama
- Roger Ver, Jihan Wu and Craig Wright all love a dollar
- They are not the sort of guys to let a disagreement over relatively minor technical aspects get in the way of making a dollar
- They certainly do not lose money to uphold obscure points of principle
- Therefore the purpose of this hard fork is to make money, with a story line played out in social media drama
- The most likely beneficiaries of a rally are existing bag holders
- The biggest bag holders are Jihan, Ver and Calvin Ayre (who controls Craig Wright)
- The most likely explanation is that the Bcash fork is just a whale game by Jihan, Ver and Ayre to suck the punters out of their money
- They will probably have a Kumbaya moment at some point and all will be forgotten, after they have lined their pockets
- Because after all, it’s just a game to them

I wonder if I have to move my BCH off my original 2015 BTC wallets to claim this supposed BCH fork? Seems the kinda thing Craig Wright would do,
only allow a fork off of a BCH address proper on the snapshot? (clarify anyone)..anyway free $$$ I should probably keep up on this in some manner and get
an answer to this question on the fork. You'd think if legit it would be mentioned someplace as a yea or nay...but not a lot of clarity in all this
thanks off topic (kinda) but this crap is hanging like barnacles off my BTC blockchain...best to know I guess

I spent all of my BCH, lived like a King for a year & absolutely loved it. Any way....I still have the private keys from my old BITCOIN addresses that I claimed the BCH from.
Quick question - Can you still claim the new BCH fork coins from the old BITCOIN private keys or will it only be from BCH addresses/keys?
good question don't know but gonna ask my boy as well...... (you wanna extend another year of living as a KING
)
There is no way you are getting forked bcash unless your bcash are still at the address at the time of the fork.
That is forkening 101.
So if you spent your bcash from old bitcoin addresses, then you not getting nuttin.
On the other hand, if you moved your bitcoin from the old addresses, but you never claimed your bcash from those old addresses, then those old addresses would be bcash fork eligible.
ok..so i never have taken any BCH ...I have 2 2015 btc wallets....i thought perhaps I had to move the BCH off those wallets to a BCH address proper
for the fork to work in whatever manner.
so you are telling me that if/when I ever move my BTC to another 'clean' wallet and have this old BCH wallet address from back in the day (2015) I can
treat that as FIRST BCH address and this BCH fork (bcc?) or whatever would just be another fork to ponder on this now empty BTC address.
i think i got it? is the above correct?
again never spent any, never moved any, just sitting their mocking me in the last year by going down 2/3 (yea ...I'm a mental giant!)
so again, from your post, I assume I don't have to do sh*t even if this BCH forks into 3 coins by the end of the month
again, thanks

Yes, it is correct. First move the Bitcoins to a different wallet to keep them safe. Afterwards use the initial wallet to claim BCH. BTG, and whatever forks.
Yes, if you don't want to claim them now, you don't need to do shit. You will be able to do it in the future.... at whatever price those have then.
