First Cash, Now Gold? Another Bitcoin Hard Fork Is on the Way
is it TRUE?

Yes, bitcoin gold is going to split on October 25 so we are near. And the other one will takes place on November but I don't have an idea on what specific date that test will happen on November.

The November fork is based on block height, not time, so we don't know the exact date. But based on current difficulty and assuming typical block target time, the Segwit2x fork is slated to occur ~Saturday, November 18, 2017. So it's about 43 days away. There is a countdown tool that you can use to track it here: http://bashco.github.io/2x_Countdown/

Thanks for adding that since I really don't have an idea on when that November fork is about to happen. But can somebody here tell it on what is your speculation on when this November fork will takes place aside from November 18? And if this is the final countdown then we have to wait for that day, I hope that the first one will successful so that this will lead the next fork will be successful too.

No one knows. For now, the general feeling is that there will likely be two different coins -- legacy BTC and altcoin B2X. People also seem to agree (as the futures markets suggest) that legacy BTC will be worth more... by ~3-5x.

However, we are still a ways away from the fork, and the futures markets are probably pricing in contingencies like the fork not happening or NYA signallers dropping out. If it turns out that 90% of miners switch to B2X, I wouldn't be surprised if the market reacts differently.
