well fork it anyway, so this is a pointless fork?
lets fork the day after also, actually lets have a fork every week for fork sake
Quite possible it will turn out like that. One new bitcoin every day.
After all everybody cheeps up for free helicopter money. This until the coins dropped will have 0 value.
Either way , bitcoin gold claims to be a coin for the small miners, to get rid of corporations running asics , bla bla , lot of socialist propaganda, poor English, chinese "developer", a coin that should die in less than one month in a normal world.
That is the segwit2x hard fork.
This one is a simple fork creating a new coin while the main chain continues it's own way.
