So, if you’ve been following along you know CoinBase probably won’t support Bitcoin Gold(October 25) and the November SegWit2X hardfork. So, how do you access your coins from the forks?
For one, don’t keep your coins on the exchanges long term, UNLESS, you are actively trading, as a best practice. I’ve said my preferred wallets or use others. If you don’t have them on the exchanges, the individual forks will have default wallets. Yet there may not be exchanges ready to handle them, or there may be, but you can’t access them because they are country specific. So my advice is just hold tight while everything settles a bit and they get exchange support.
If there is anything to learn from the Bitcoin Cash(BCH) fork is that the price can rise RAPIDLY after the early fear mongerers sell. It could also fall to nothing if they have no miners. With BCH and the miner difficulty adjusting you could see large mining pools moving between all of them, idk, I haven’t looked at the Bitcoin Gold and SegWit2X techs much yet. Regardless of how it all turns out, this is a very exciting time in crypto.
