Upcoming Bitcoin Forks/Splits and Exchanges That Promise to Honor Them
I always say that you only hold coins if you have them in your own wallet that you have private key for but if you are lazy or not enough tech savy trusting an exchange during forks/airdrops may be a thing for you.
Currently this fork/split thing is getting out of hand, there is so many coming out it would be a real hassle and pain to get each right away so it might be a good idea to be able to trade fast aka let exchange hold a bit of your BTC.
I remember when BCH forked nobody could deposit or withdrawal coins due to the slow network yet people who had BTC on Bittrex got coins and could trade the markets right away. Risk vs reward as always.

Exchanges to Use
So far only two exchanges promised to honor every split, they do not say if they will allow trading but you will get the coins and when network is secure you will be able to use them. I have said about registration problem on exchanges but both of those need no ID and registrations are still open so get there if you want to get coins.
Binance
Currently top exchange in volume. I can confirm i got there already forks of BCX, BTG, BCD, SBTC, BCH.
KuCoin
Native NEO pairs for most coins, very good design. There is some signup bonus with this link but not sure what or how it works.

Interesting @kingscrown. I am on Binance already, so that makes it more fun. Always traded on poloniex and they never honoured any fork, not even the bitcoin Cash almost all exchanges honoured. Looking forward to getting my first free airdrop on Binance. Thanks for this infomation.
Hopefully these exchanges hold up. So many of the exchanges in the past have had issues. Understanding the risk/reward is key.
I try to stay away from exchanges as much as I can. Because I changed my mind about a trade, I have some BTC on Binance. I planned on transferring it back to my wallet tonight, but I guess I’ll leave it for a little while 😉
Thanks for the great post. I love your chart all laid out by dates and block numbers. I see they have bitcoin diamond listed on binance now going for around $50. If you get 10 coins to 1 that could be a pretty nice ratio.
Waiting for the 2x split tomorrow...
the ONLY fork that looks interesting is Bitcoin Interest. The rest of them are just horrible... Bitcoin platinum? Bitcoin gold was bad enough.
Pay your fucking taxes douce-nozzles!
Horrible indeed. All those forks affect the credibilty of Bitcoin. It is becoming so ridiculous that people around me start to think about Bitcoin as a joke. The only people that are ‘happy’ with all those forks happening are some Bitcoin owners. After all, new forks = free money. (I must admit I was quite pleased I owned Bitcoin during the Bitcoin Cash fork. I still have Bitcoin, but this is getting out of hand)
agree, it needs to be stopped, its debasing bitcoin. I'm not a bitcoin purist but it has it's place in the ecosystem. These forks are CLEAR cash grabs, and it's sad as Bitcoin DOES have issues which need addressed.
Agreed and we are now suing the bitcoin gold team as well!

I was looking for such post from few days having all information about forks and you have compiled them. This is great and I am holding some bitcoin in Binance. I hope Bittrex support some of good forks.
I like this fork, gots to get me some: -
i laughed harder at this than i wanted to. well done.
I definitely got to find out more about this Bitcoin Pizza!
Thanks for the blowjob. I'll see you again at 50k.
Holding your Bitcoin stash on Binance seems to be the best thing to do for the lazy lot. Need to checkout about Kucoin as well.
Thanks for the thoughtful post and advice - I think I will go ahead and regster for Binance after all. My buddy recommended it, but until your post, I lacked any compelling reason to proceed... and yeah, the Forks are getting out of hand for sure!
Yes - the forks are out of control. I like the challenge of figuring out how to split and secure the new coins.
I like the idea that if the community dont agree on something they can do a fork, but right now there are so many of them that is hard for me to take all of them seriously!
Soom we will have more btc forks than altcoins, lol!
