RE: Will the real Bitcoin please stand up?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I might be wrong but this whole BCH forking strikes a greedy ploy/scam by a select few heavy hitters in the mining biz.
Which seems quite contrary to idea of bitcoin in the first place.
If this is not a scam: ok I own roughly 14 BTC. Where are my 14 BCH?
I've not seen a single one!
I wanna know who took them!
There actually should be some outrage about this!
My feeling as BCH is inherently exclusionary (like the fucking Federal Reserve) it will fail.
The power of Bitcoin is that it is a global currency available to all, not something for a select few who perpetuate the culture of greed which currently infests and gobbles up the planet's resourses

Sort:  

Where do you hold those bitcoins? If they are on coinbase you will be getting BCH in January...

I keep most of them on a hardwallet locked in safe. Some on online wallets where I hold the keys.
The notion having to place a single satoshi (for a BCH)where it is vulnerable to seizure is abhorent to entire concept of bitcoin and the entire blockchain crypto currency world.
The FBI could walk into Coinbase and close it all down 5 minutes from now, for whatever reason they choose!

You can split your coins and have both BCH and BTC. Google it :)

interesting, thanks for the tip. Seems a bit complicated and I wasn't using a desktop wallet but an android one and now most is tucked away on a hardwallet, some spread about on three other wallet and a tiny bit on two exchanges.
but I reckon every bitcoin I owned prior to August 1, has a record of being owned by me.
The detective work seems daunting.
