Bitcoin Cash - Good or Bad?
This is going to have serious implications for Bitcoin and I want to hear your thoughts and opinions.
Here's what I know so far:
- A mining company that has about 30% of total hash power wants to hard fork and create Bitcoin Cash.
- Futures for this are trading on a few Asian exchanges at a current price of $422 USD.
- They want to implement an 8mb block size.
- There are going to be trading and service disruptions.
- Many are advising not to transfer (send/receive) Bitcoin on August 1st or for about a week afterwards.
I have read comments on prominent YouTube channels which specialize in Cryptocurrency.
Some are saying they will dump Bitcoin Cash as soon as they can.
Some are saying this will be a benefit by providing cheap and fast transactions.
Then there's the speculators who say they will buy Bitcoin Cash after the price drops.
Are you taking a firm position or a particular side?

This is an important topic and thanks for posting this. I'm taking a wait and see approach on this until I have more information to make an intelligent decision going forward. My BTC is parked in cold storage to keep me from making a hasty decision. :)
You are welcome :) and great idea on the cold storage. Better safe than sorry!

Check my BTC forecast for valuable information about price movements. Bitcoin Cash (Grab) is just a stunt to drop BTC price and allow them to make a few million in the meantime with some new crap coin that will only trade at $20 per token after all is said and done.
That's an interesting point of view. I will check out your price forecast. Thanks for your input.
