RE: Exchanges Supporting (or not) The Segwit2X Hard Fork

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I understand why you may wish to have access to the new coin early but I would suggest the best place to hold coins during any uncertainty (such as a HF) is in a hardware wallet or at least in a wallet where you control the keys.

Sort:  

Yeah, I agree, to the hardware wallet go the BTC's. Thanks.

True, ESPECIALLY with this split. I was discussing the split with someone the other day, and they turned me onto some new information about the possible outcomes after the split. This is going to be a very dicey one as they try to stay on the main chain....or the main chain becomes obsolete....or it just splits like all the other forks, and everyone wins. I'm leaning against my previous stance....after watching the Bitshares presentation last week that was posted here....I am thinking more and more than this split could cause a lot of issues within the system. I want the free coins for sure, but I don't want frozen BTC in an account if there is a chance that the Miners shift the gear to B2X and freeze the BTC chain for who knows how long....
