Anyone else claimed the forks now as oppose to back then?  I know bch was the simplest one to claim.  I heard bitcoin gold was the other.  But what about bitcoin sv and other similar forks?

Why would anyone not claim any btc forks if you know how to do it?  You claim it and then sell it to an exchange and get btc or usdt or usd. 


Are there people that know how to claim the forks but don't do it?  The only reason would be if you don't know how but what other reasons are there?

How many bitcoin forks did you claim? 

Never.

Also why would anyone not claim it? 

However, I tried to answer in general and it seems that there are still indications of discord in society surrounding fork makers which is the cause of low market acceptance of forks.

What would be the reason? 

This indication also indirectly weakens the original value and focus of fork makers. Bitcoin (BTC).

Only one I claimed was bitcoin cash and this was a while back.  I haven't claimed bitcoin gold or sv.  I also found out there is ecash and bitcoin diamond that one can claim?


Assuming you didn't leave your bitcoin when the forks happened back then in exchanges like coinbase.... you would have to claim those forks yourself.  What percentage of people claimed their bitcoin cash and gold?  What about SV?  Got to assume very few if any claimed SV?  Bitcoin cash had the most then gold?  Then I read there is ecash as well and bitcoin diamond?  I heard back then there were like 30 or more bitcoin forks but they weren't real?



How many bitcoin forks did you claim?  Also why would anyone not claim it?  What would be the reason?  I know you suppose to move the btc from the wallet where you kept the btc to a different wallet first before you claim the forks as many would require you to enter the seed phrase of it to claim the forks.  But if you did that, is there a reason why many people didn't claim it?  For me, it's because it is very confusing with many of the forks.  Bitcoin cash was simple though.  Bitcoin gold seems simple but didn't do it.  Bitcoin SV seems a bit complicated but doesn't seem that hard but people mention about no protection replay which makes me not want to do it and not sure what that means.  Ecash seems very confusing and bitcoin diamond seems like something completely different.  Do people even know about ecash or bitcoin diamond?



Who here has claimed most or all of them and was it for you?



Did anyone here just kept their btc in exchanges and if so which exchanges and then just got their bitcoin forks through exchange and didn't bother with any of this?

There are a few forks that are listed on the top exchanges. I'm not sure how much money people make from those drop but if those forks happen now they would have faced huge sell pressure in the market as the number of bitcoin holders grows significantly compared to before. I assume that there are still unclaimed bitcoin fork coin like the unclaimed ARB token from the arbitrum airdrop. Some people were unaware, some lost their keys, and there were some who were not interested. The same thing happens with those bitcoin fork coin as well.

What other bitcoin forks were there and were they worth much or not?  Yes I know about electron cash for bitcoin cash as I used that.  Yea for bitcoin gold, I heard you needed android phone for bitcoin gold but now it seems iphone can claim bitcoin gold now with coinomi you mean r ight?


Why couldn't you claim bitcoin sv?  Is it because you moved the bitcoin sv or sold it so when bitcoin fork happened, the bitcoin cash wasn't there anymore?


Did you claim ecash or bitcoin diamond?  Those came after bitcoin sv so not sure how you claim that many bitcoin forks and not one being bitcoin sv or ecash or bitcoin diamond?

I claimed Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, I can’t remember the others but there were about another 3 or 4 I claimed.
I had to use Electron Cash for the Bitcoin Cash & I had to buy an Android phone (I am an iPhone guy) to download some app that allowed me to claim the less well known ones. As I had already claimed those shit forks I didn’t get BSV. I don’t know about claiming if you used an exchange to store your Bitcoin originally because I’ve always been a self custody guy.

I did. I collected all my btc and put them in my binance account. Back than I thought it would be a hassle for me to claim every forks personally. I was okay with using electrum like wallets but I was suspicious how my private keys would be used by different and newer wallets.
At some point in time, there were so many forks of bitcoin that it was difficult to track them. And I was actually satisfied what what binance did with my coins. I remember of getting forked coins like weekly and selling them for a profit.
