Is there no end to this bitcoin split? That's now 3 splits in like 6 months. Bitcoin Cash hasn't been doing great. From Coinbase: Bitcoin Segwit2x The Bitcoin Segwit2x fork is projected to take place on November 16th and will result in two bitcoin blockchains. Following the fork, Coinbase will continue referring to the current bitcoin blockchain as Bitcoin and the forked blockchain as Bitcoin2x. Any customer with a Bitcoin balance on Coinbase at the time of the fork will be credited with an equal amount of the Bitcoin2x asset on the Bitcoin2x blockchain. No action is required—we will automatically credit your account. So, if you have 5 Bitcoin stored on Coinbase before the fork; you will have 5 Bitcoin and 5 Bitcoin2x following the event. For more information about Bitcoin2x please see our FAQ page and our blog post for a detailed timeline of events. Bitcoin Gold The Bitcoin Gold fork occurred on October 23rd. Information about this fork has been limited and there are concerns about its security and stability. As a result, we do not believe it is safe to allow support for Bitcoin Gold at this time. If the blockchain proves to be secure and valuable, Coinbase may choose to support it.
Has the relay protection issue for SegWit2x been resolved? This is a pretty big deal because I thought SegWit2x was intending to challenge for the right to be BTC. Bitcoin Gold - I reckon it'll be forgotten about by the time November comes around.
