Hi all-

I heard from a friend that there's a "gate" for receiving the Segwit2 fork.. That is, if you have a small amount of bitcoin, you don't get anything from the fork!

Your friend has no clue what he is talking about. There is no such thing as a minimum.

I have a friend who said that this made him lose out on the last fork, since he had only a small amount of bitcoin.

Probably he had only dust, and when he tried to move the coins the fees were just as big as the amount of coins he had.

Can someone please confirm this, the minimum amount to hold, and the details?

As per above, there is nothing to confirm, there is no minimum required.
You have 0.0000001 you are going to receive 0.0000001 (hope I put the same amount of zeros)

Also, I'm guessing if my coins are in an exchange, then I'm not affected since the exchange will get it for all their bitcoins? Or not?

You should first tell us what exchange you're going to use to store your coins at the time of the fork.
Or better, check the announcement page of that exchange.

It depends on the amount of bitcoin you have in your wallet. Like before bitcoin gold fork, i had 0.2 Btc, i got equivalent amount in bitcoin gold that was exchanged at yobit by $230/BCG.
At that time, i got $45 for my 0.2 BTG. Now same applies to upcoming fork, the more Btc you keep, the more profit you will earn from forked currency that is being happen in november.

No it does not, and please stop posting stupid things like this. You're no help here.

He wasn't talking about the usd value.
He was talking about the amount of coins he is going to receive.
Price is irrelevant for what he is asking.
