Thank for sharing knowledge about bitcoin

This bitcoin fork possibility is really causing a lot of mixed reactions. I myself was hoping a split wouldnt happen, but I suppose with the type of attention, money and certain types of control this fork could offer those in that position it was bound to happen, or at least someone was bound to try.

This is such a cool article love the posts keep it up

I think its highly unlikely to gain any traction. Its still not a gaurantee to happen but if it does it will fizzle out quickly.

**Bitcoin Cash** has already hit it's first **bump** in the *information highway* even before leaving the "**Driveway**".  It's proposed coin abbreviation **BCC** is already in use, and will not be adopted by larger exchanges unless a change is made.  Perhaps *someone* should have thought about that sooner? (lol)

Bitcoin Cash seems to be a last ditch attempt / temper tantrum. Don't see it amounting to much as it doesn't have the Bitcoin brand name (among other things). Should be interesting to see though moving forward. 

I just published a book on Amazon, called "Welcome to the F*cking Show: Bitcoin and Your Future With Money". If you have any new friends in crypto tell them to check it out, it's the quickest cutting of the crypto learning curve out there (I know, I've read all the Bitcoin books out there).

If you want to know the reasons why people are supporting Bitcoin Cash, here are some excerpts from some of my posts on the matter:

In short, SegWit can flip the incentives for some (bandwidth restricted) miners such that they benefit from not downloading or verifying the transaction signatures. For a user, this causes a SegWit transaction to be less secure than a non-segwit one. A non-SegWit transaction is secure with the assumption that no attack is able to obtain more than 51% of the network hashrate. With SegWit, this becomes 51% - (percent of miners with flipped incentives).

If 20% of miners end up in a situation where they are not downloading signatures because it is more profitable for them not to, a 31% miner can attack the network effectively. Security becomes 51% - X.

The bigger problem is that it is very hard to estimate the proportion of miners with this flip in incentives before their portion grows too large and an attack occurs. This basically means that SegWit transactions will always be less secure than normal Bitcoin P2PKH transactions. Even if just by the smallest bit, this is what fundamentally breaks the fungibility of Bitcoin.

So is it good to buy 1 bitcoin now so that I can get 1 Bitcoin cash or wait till the fork happens and watch hell run loose and buy at black friday prices?
