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.
You cannot be so sure about this because despite the cancellation of B2x, bitcoin gold still went and launched and we are still wait in for what it's going to add to the space which I am yet to see though even with BCH. The fact is the moment BCH was done, I knew it HSS opened up opportunities for others to follow and there is nothing anyone could do about it. The moment you discover something wrong with the original bitcoin, the next is a fork and when the fork version does not meet a particular need, we move on to another fork and the cycle continues. Its really a joke.
