I am a bit new to cryptos, almost 5 weeks old!
My question is:
There is an upcoming fork in November 2017, I understand not all wallets planning to support it or yet undecided. My wallets are Jaxx and Bread having a few Satoshi in each.
Would I still be receiving my share of the forked currency if Jaxx didnt support the new fork?
Will I still receive it if I sent my BTC from a wallet that does not support to a wallet that support the fork AFTER the fork happens?
How can I be sure I will collect my share of the forked currency.
Your advice highly appreciated.
Just like the hard fork that happened on August 1 and produced the now useless Bitcoin Cash, The resulting alt coin which will be produced during November will also sink into oblivion. Even bitcoin cash had a lot of hype around it but with bitcoin gold, people don't really seem to care about it at all. I don't know why these miners like splitting the currency so much. There must be something to their motives.
It seems to me that I understood their motives. Bitcoin can be a distraction to organize a large pump. Throughout September the price was at the bottom. Whales bought coins at a price of about $ 3,000. Now at the expense of those who will be hoping to bitcoin gold, the price of bitcoin will rise sharply. Whales will sell their bitcoins expensive and will pay users free coins which will be worth nothing.
