- The cynical view of the Bcash fork is as follows:
- November is historically the strongest month. Bitcoin almost always goes up in November
- The fork date is 15 November. This is smack in the middle of a rally month
- This date is a deliberate choice. Of the 365 days in the year, picking the single strongest price day of the year is no coincidence
- We know from past experience that forks cause price rallies
- The conclusion is that this hard fork date was deliberately chosen to create a rally
- Roger Ver has excellent skills at social media
- Crypto twitter and Reddit love a drama
- Roger Ver, Jihan Wu and Craig Wright all love a dollar
- They are not the sort of guys to let a disagreement over relatively minor technical aspects get in the way of making a dollar
- They certainly do not lose money to uphold obscure points of principle
- Therefore the purpose of this hard fork is to make money, with a story line played out in social media drama
- The most likely beneficiaries of a rally are existing bag holders
- The biggest bag holders are Jihan, Ver and Calvin Ayre (who controls Craig Wright)
- The most likely explanation is that the Bcash fork is just a whale game by Jihan, Ver and Ayre to suck the punters out of their money
- They will probably have a Kumbaya moment at some point and all will be forgotten, after they have lined their pockets
- Because after all, it’s just a game to them

I wonder if I have to move my BCH off my original 2015 BTC wallets to claim this supposed BCH fork? Seems the kinda thing Craig Wright would do,
only allow a fork off of a BCH address proper on the snapshot? (clarify anyone)..anyway free $$$ I should probably keep up on this in some manner and get
an answer to this question on the fork. You'd think if legit it would be mentioned someplace as a yea or nay...but not a lot of clarity in all this

thanks off topic (kinda) but this crap is hanging like barnacles off my BTC blockchain...best to know I guess

I spent all of my BCH, lived like a King for a year & absolutely loved it. Any way....I still have the private keys from my old BITCOIN addresses that I claimed the BCH from.
Quick question - Can you still claim the new BCH fork coins from the old BITCOIN private keys or will it only be from BCH addresses/keys?
