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.
maybe this one is the real and verry serious among the past forks and this time its not a joke because bitcoin silver is going to be a big threat to to other coins especially bitcoins. so if i were you, id better prepare for this one happen , i dont mean prepare to buy and hold bitcoins to get the equivalent free forked coins but rather prepare for what it can do to you and to the market.
