There's at least a few more. "Bitcoin Gold" and "Bitcoin Diamond" come to mind, there's also something called "Super Bitcoin". They all seems like complete trash to me but somehow they seem to have a market value

- xPhobophobia 9y agoIf you had bitcoin before the fork, you'd have some of the fork, right? How do you access something like that?
- mekpro 9y agoIf you hold the the private key of the coin, simply download the forked coin client and sync with the old key. The money should automatically appeared. The story is more out of control if you hold the money in the trader. Since you had to rely on the trader to enable support for that new coin, which may happen later or not happen at all.
- vm 9y agoHow do Bitcoin holders "receive" or trade on these forks? Coinbase eventually distributed Bitcoin Cash but I haven't heard anything about Bitcoin Gold or Diamond.
- czechdeveloper 9y agoIf you have your private key, you can just use same key to trade forked coins (using given coin's wallet). If you don't I guess you depend on whoever has your key. But rule of thumb is, you don't own a key, you don't own a bitcoin. I would just move original coins to different wallet first as I'm not sure if same transaction cannot be replayed on main bitcoin chain.
