We hear about Bitcoin in all media in recent months. The popularity of the famous digital currency continues to soar, so much so that some investors are trying to make copies like the Bitcoin God.

Bitcoin God or the new Bitcoin Hard Fork

Many investors want to surf the wave of Bitcoin's success by cloning digital currency, to make a new version. For those who do not know it yet, here is the principle to copy Bitcoin. The creator of the future clone begins by copying the Bitcoin blockchain and all its history from a specific point, and from there a new history is started after a Hard Fork. The new network thus differs from the original Bitcoin from this point, and it may have its own characteristics, such as a new consensus mechanism, for example.

That's exactly what Chandler Guo is doing, the big Chinese investor is about to launch his own cryptocurrency cloned from Bitcoin and dubbed "Bitcoin God".

A Christmas present for "bitcoiners"

But why did you choose such a name? Simply because the Hard Fork is scheduled for December 25, which is Christmas Day. Chandler Guo himself has announced the news via Twitter while giving more details about his project. According to the investor, the Hard Fork Bitcoin God will take place at block 501 225. He then adds that this will happen on December 25th. This is his Christmas present to all bitcoin owners.

The reactions are not long, like a Chandler follower who asked him if the "fork" was not a joke. Chandler Guo replied that the new branch was very real.
