HEREIN, CONTRIBUTION = REWARDS. Which Bitcoin Wallet Are YOU Storing Your Bitcoin In When August 1st, 2017 Strikes?! LETS TALK WALLETS, SECURITY, AND PREPARATION! DISCUSS!
The clock is ticking and the 1st of August, 2017 is steadily approaching with hours to go.
A minority of the Bitcoin chain (~14%) is forking into Bitcoin Cash.
Do you hold your private keys? Are your keys safe? Is your Bitcoin safe? Are you ready? Are you prepared?
If that's a question that you're hesitating giving an answer to, then you should probably be discussing that immediately here in this thread, hopefully with some elite folks chiming in who have done the legwork for you already (which you should also pay respects to by upvoting, which I will be doing to inspire collaboration, community, help, and good discussion).
KEY QUESTIONS:
- Which Bitcoin wallet(s) are you storing your Bitcoin in?
- Why have you chosen to store your Bitcoin in the aforementioned wallet?
- Does the aforementioned wallet support Bitcoin Cash (BCC)?
- Have you considered the security/support/stability of the wallet?
- What is your game plan for August 1st, 2017 in anticipation of the fork?
- What are your thoughts on the fork?
- What is your game plan once Bitcoin forks?
- WILDCARD. Talk about anything you want, you're your own master, after-all!
So let it rip! I want to see some good discussion here so I can dole out some rewards. I want to see people being cool with one another, helping, offering advice, strategizing, and people rewarding others for meaningful contributions!
Aaaaaand . . .
I store it in bitshares. As bitshares.
Excellent!!! I do a lot of that myself :-).
We are two! Yuhu!
🤓
my folio right now is 80% alts 20% btc
I am holding my btc in a Electrum wallet !
The plan is to dump half BCC and rebuy lower ! BCC is another alt but since someone is buying there are chances to do something , after all is free money right ??
@matt-a - HONESTLY - I think I'm in a shit of trouble dude - I don't hold trash bags full of coins - and started out on Poloniex because of the user-friendly aspect long ago - then noticed that the walls, the buy/sell proves didn't equate to real time and am certain that they are in on the pump schemes just as much if not more than the largest whale pump groups or single whales..
Last night like an idiot I tried to transfer BTC to Poloniex only because Coinbase said there may be no withdrawals temporarily.. And because I've been trying other exchanges but haven't had much better yet as a mobile trader.
Chose Coinbase as most secure I thought for US holders and not to use exchanges to hold BTC
Coinbase does not as far as I read
I think my remaining BTC in Coinbase will be safe as it's a US company but ya never know
Gameplan?? Stick to playing the board game called STEEMIT for now and contribute to try and calitalizevthe best I can as a lonely minnow - Minnow both without stunt Growth plates lol
Thoughts of the fork? I don't even understand how it will work or how any entity could double BCCC at 1:1 with BTC holding its value as many predictions I've heard have said.
Gameplan - Follow the advice of people like you who know way more about it than me.
Wildcard - Even though I despise Pump and Dump schemes - I was quite impressed how many coins were successfully pumped all at once - a good 20-25 on Poloniex with 4-6 hours of continual Pumps - I made a few ducketd following the money and do like the very straight 45 degree angle line for. STEEM - up until about 30 minutes ago - was praying STEEMIT wasn't getting pumped to dumpy -
BONUS - IF BITTREX DEAL IS REAL HOW FAST CAN I OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM - Gave up on Kraken after like 3 weeks of waiting for approvals
BONUS #2 - WHATS YOUR ONE SLEEPER COIN FROM ANY EXCHANGE CURRENTLY VALUED AROUND A DOLLAR. Thank for this post bud!
I put my BTC into Bitfinex to trade into alts once trading is back. Get some bitshares, EOS or something with potential! I do want that BTC-U, are they really taking a snapshot that same day?
Jaxx will support it and they are fairly safe, so I will move it there if I can get the 3rd, better coin haha.. As always cold wallets or hardware wallets are the best. I'm lazy and I have faith though!
So I traded some of my alts into BTC so I can sell off after the fork into alts, expecting them to start rising pretty quickly again. Hopefully it works out. Open to suggestions or counter theories though!?
EOS! Well, we all know where that's going . . . The alpha and the omega . . . until technology evolves again, but I think it is truly setting the stage for something absolutely fierce. In my opinion, it's going to run the game for the foreseeable future.
As for BTC-U, I have no idea. Maybe someone like @ash or @stan will chime in? I know they're planning on a snapshot at least, unsure of a concrete date, however.
me either. I got all excited when I read it, but I dont think enough preparation or planning went into it.. If I do here from Stan though and he says its happening I will move my BTC to Jaxx ASAP so I can get 3 coins. I like the idea of a better bitshare bitcoin
Thank you for posting @matt-a.
Yes...Steemians are certainly interested in this subject.
Appreciate this information as that is what it takes to make decisions.
bleujay will give these queries a think.
Thank you. Cheers.
i have $200 Australian dollars worth of Bitcoin on Coinjar exchange and have no experience - i don't know if i can open a wallet fast enough that would support the new coin and am not sure how to send it there either if i open one? I think with such a small balance it might not qualify for any new coin anyway but i dont know anything. Thanks for dropping in on my post Matt, i appreciate that so i came to see who you are. David
I'm storing all in bitshares
That's one good way to do it haha. Simple!
thank you
Upvoted and followed. Returning the love
Thanks, man!
