Is this for real? People were joking about bitcoin silver and Bitcoin bronze after the BTG fork, bit are we seriously getting a bitcoin silver. So many forks just destroys the main aim of the forks, it just creates a new altcoin with 'bitcoin' in its name. And IMO I don't think this is serious, even BTG was not serious enough, and 2x was canceled, don't think this fork will even happen.
It seems is for real, I read about that fork some time ago, to be honest I do not see anything new once again with his fork and the fact that most of the forum is not aware of this fork tells me that it is not going to have such a big impact, to me the biggest impact it is going to come from the fact that we are very close that institutional money enters in bitcoin and when that happens the price is going to the moon.
