With an official name of the "altcoin" that will come out of this Bitcoin hard fork, alts seem to be dropping in price as they sell off so everyone can double up with Bitcoin Cash. I have come to realize the question that should be asked on what to do with your Bitcoin is to hold or not to hold. Should I hold and get my Bitcoin cash or buy up the Alts at discount prices.
Bitcoin Cash is similar to Ethereum Classic where the pre fork tokens will have to double. This is different than the ethereum fork because both forks will have new tech as ETC is the original blockchain, but none the less there are two different blockchains. Bitcoin cash will be an altcoin that splits off of the original blockchain, and BTC will be as we always have come to know but with some upgrades.
80% of the BTC community supports segwit 2x and the rest have decided to stick with Bitcoin Cash hard fork. The hard fork is not set in stone but will be decided on a deadline of August 1st 2017 the outcome will be interesting as the entire Cypto community is on hold and waiting for the decision so we can return to normal. But, this is crypto and what is normal. We aren't even in the Beta stage of a brand new future of finance and decentralization.
Cheers to the future, it will be bright.
