Bloody Tuesday in the cryptocurrency market
With the uncertainty about the bitcoin, the digital asset market is shrinking faster today.
The announcement of the exchange platform ViaBT, which allows to exchange BTC for BCC (Bitcoin Cash), seems to have awakened the fear of a hard fork bitcoin.
Despite the recent advances of segwit2x, and the adoption of the BIP 91, there is still a risk of separation of the bitcoin into several chains.
Bitcoin cash, which was originally an initiative of the Bitmain company, the aim of which was to counteract the user-activated soft fork (UASF) proposed by the BIP 148. With the adoption of the BIP 91 and segwit, It seemed no longer relevant.
But contrary to what was envisaged, the initiative of the platform ViaBT is sowing the doubt, with the consequences on the price of the bitcoin, and the others cryptocurency.
It will be necessary to wait until the 1st of August, to know if the BTC will divide in two, date envisaged for the launch of this hard fork.
And you ? Do you think the chain will divide ? Do not hesitate to give your arguments for and against in comments.
BCC is a scam.
It could go either way with BTC as it stands. So till august this up and down trend will continue. After that my guess is that it maybe will skyrocket in the first quarter of next year like it did this one.
