RE: If you were not aware in 4 days you can have 14%+ more of BTC for free.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Agreed just take your BTC off exchanges and wait. When Ethereum forked I waited at least 30 days before trying to do the split to make sure everything was working for others before me.

BTC going up now could be attributed to fewer coins on exchanges as people are removing them. Also others could be buying more BTC to capitalize on the BCC fork.

Its all good in crytpo land this is what a free market is suppose to look like. Many of us have no idea of how a free market is suppose to function because we have never experienced one before crypto came on the seen.

Eventually all this bad money i.e. scam coins will be washed out in the laundry as good money i.e. solid coins, good projects replace the junk.

Great great point! And thank you for the insight! Is it worth it to get bcc for any btc that we are holding? Or too risky? And youre so right about the free market thing!

Thank you and yes it should be worth it as it's free money. I suggest wait it out before attempting it just to make sure it is working. You may not make as much as doing it asap but for me the risk of trying to get those extra coins early is not worth it.

Yep, a sound plan. It's what I'm doing as well. I'll be buying some more BTC before the split and then moving everything to my cold wallet. Then I'll be sitting down with my popcorn to watch the show over the next few weeks and when it's all over I'll be holding both my BTC and Bitcoin Cash and start playing agin.

Love the free market comment, you're so right that many of us have no idea what a free market actually looks like!

Thank you and yeah popcorn and free markets thats the ticket.

You don't understand what a free market is if you actually think bitcoin is a free market. Prices are controlled every single day in hour swaths of up in price by $200 followed by brief moments of down $200 in price and it usually happens several times a day. It's all quiet now in "anticipation" of the 14% "free money" that is coming your way on Aug 2nd or shortly afterwards. Don't forget..."if" the price of BTC and BTCC (BCC?) both drop you will be able to blame it on "manipulation" But teh ave crypto believer doesn't even know what "actual" manipulation looks like. Just watch this live ticker using the 3 hour window and you will see "manipulation" via the large volume spikes when it is time to "daytrade" the rallies and selloffs. Go find something more manipulated than crypto prices...I dare you to. :-)

I dont think a free market is defined by it's lack of manipulation. I know that there are backroom deals, pump and dump groups, fake exchange orderbooks and much more.

My point is that when anyone anywhere in the world can publish the code for an alternative form of cash with out permission. This is a sign of a healthy market and the closest thing we have to a free market.
