AUG 1: Bitcoin split / hardfork how to prepare & Ripple VS SWIFT

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Just a couple of days ago we were excited that the likelihood of a chain split would be almost zero with BIP 91 locked in. However some people have other plans and are running the Bitcoin ABC software which will make Bitcoin to split after all during 1 August and create their Bitcoin Cash alt coin. Currently futures of Bitcoin Cash are already being traded at $400.

Some major exchanges, such as OKCoin, Bithumb and Kraken, just to name a few, are also preparing for for the hard fork and chain split by implementing their mitigation plans. In a nutshell the majority will disable withdrawals and deposits for a period of time.

So all and all the hard fork / chain split of Bitcoin will be inevitable on August 1 (while we can expect another split around approx. mid November).

So be prepared for this everyone. The most important thing is that you are in control of your private keys to benefit from both chains.
