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.
Did you see all of the various new Eth coins that have popped up since Bitcoin Gold? Ethereum- Red, X, Gold, Prime, Dash, Komodo, Nano Tech, Star, Flow and so on ad nauseum. Of course there is going to be a Bitcoin Silver, just like there is going to be a Bitcoin Black, Bitcoin White, Bitcoin Premium, Bitcoin Sapphire, Bitcoin Uran and more.
Haha, that is for real. Who need these forks? Only their developers who want to get rich in a few days using pre-mine? Or guys like Roger Ver who have a lot of BTC and can make real profits not just 1 BTC silver or whatever.
