noob question..will the fork cause the btc prices to go down?

 

[etienne_marais]

What time is the segwit2x fork tomorrow? It's hard to find a precise time. Seems like many are unaware of the fork.

No countdown timers I can find yet, even searches for "segwit2x fork" lists old cancelled fork first (segwit2 december works). Fork at block 501451

My guess: will go up in the next couple of hours, and drop in the coming days.

You predict it will go up because everyone will want in on the fork?

In this particular case, yes. Despite the controversy around the NY agreement and all that I think people will see this as a high profile fork, only it seems to be fake news...

Think I missed the fork. Sold my ethereum for BTC at around block 501297. Also, its sitting on Luno and since they haven't suspended trading, I doubt they will support this.

Just another random unsupported cashgrab fork, nothing to do with btc. Wish these people would at least be try to be original and attempt to become unique, instead of trying to cash in on the btc name... but I guess that would require some effort and creativity, far easier to ride the coat tails of others

B2x is happening tomorrow, for some reason I’m quite hopeful about this fork.
I hope you all got your coins off Luno...

I don't see it ?

Though it does sound round given BTC is currently at block 501314 and fork is at 501451

Yobit must be trading futures...

Which exchanges will support it? Is there still enough time to move coins across?

I don’t leave coins on exchanges, always in an offline wallet.

Yes, I am currently considering HitBTC (others are neogocie coins, exrates and local trade.pro). More than 14 hours to get your coins wherever.

HitBTC will take fixed fee of -0.0003 BTC for Reception of BTC but no fee for reception of BCH or ETC for example. Then also take into account what you are going to pay for withdrawal fee from where you are sending.

Question, if you back up your coins to your offline wallet. Can you then send your BTC back to Luno and your new coin to whichever exchange sells it?
