does btc need to be on a seg address when x2 splits to have x amount of coins on both?

@OriginalWorks

@bunnychum although it's called a 'Replay Attack' this is a great post. I completely agree with your concerns and worry for those people that are new to investing in Bitcoin or CryptoCurrency in general that they are not prepared for the various pitfalls and risks associated with these monumental changes.

Bitcoin Cash wasn't a problem, but I think people are incorrectly comparing this to Bitcoin Gold and Segwit 2x. They are worlds apart in comparison and there could be a lot of damage done to Bitcoin over the next month.

Look at the price of Vertcoin the last few days. I said a while back that if any currency should be adopted by the masses for GPU mining, Vertcoin should get that vote of confidence.

Anyway, thanks again for your insightful and informative post! I will resteem it and follow.

I'm wondering if all this hoopla about the fork will increases the demand and value of ETH. Especially now since ETH is being pushed down in price before the BTC fork.

I think a "replay attack" could happen if you decide to spend your bitcoins on one chain and your transaction is picked up by a node on the alternate chain. This is a real threat, so maybe the fork must provide a way so that a transaction on one chain is not a valid transaction on the other chain. I don't know if the fork will provide such a protection. Based on your analysis, I guess it won't.

if you are still not understanding the future value of BTC  then you are fool..

GOLDEN ADVICE : Bitcoin is going to fall after novemeber, december timeframe (after people have have been rewarded with forked currencies of Bitcoin. 
So buy other cryptocurrencies now which are down a bit. And sell your bitcoins.. after the forking era, buy bitcoins because thats when its value will be down. So thats a win win for everyone..

I found the post informative. Thanks for you nice explanation @bunnychum

These hard forks are boosting Bitcoin's price right now. I wonder which will become the main Bitcoin after the two hard forks

Great post @bunnychum. Yes, it's too confusing for new people in crypto space when such forks happen. It creates lots of confusion into noobs mind. 
I really appreciate the steps you have provided for taking necessary actions during these forks. This post is informative and thanks again for educating new people in the space like me.

Nice article with a much needed information. I was wondering about the upcoming hardforks!

I do not plan on making any transactions in the near future so hopefully I'm covered.

@bunnychum. You are a new discovery for me.  This is the best explanation I have found about the up coming forks.  

I have a question, - the anawer seems to be obvious - but I would like a little more granularity:

Does this mean that I could start mining on my home PC or Mac, or even better become a node?    (Maybe that’s the same thing?).

Or is the reality that in practice I would be overwhelmed by millions of other miners and I would never actually earn anything?

There is a lot of excitement about the following forks. But there is the opposite effect to the last fork.
When faced with fear of the last fork people sold bitcoin now we see capitalization levels never seen in btc. Thank you very much for explaining the following forks in a simple way.
