Bitcoin Forks: Are They Forking Us Over? 😂🍴📉
What do you think about Bitcoin forks like this, as $this hilarious comic shows?
Current price is about 122,619 USD – pumping hard lately!
What do you think it will hit 130,000 or higher in the upcoming days?
In my opinion, you should hold or buy more BTC because forks like Bitcoin Unlimited (from the 2017 drama) show how resilient it is – now with ETFs and adoption, it's set for massive profits!
What you think about that? Let me know about that in comment section.

🚨 Ever Heard of a "Replay Attack"? I Became a Victim! 🚨
$BCH
After a decade, I finally recalled the password to my Bitcoin wallet—a moment of celebration! 🎉 Since I had held BTC for so long, I also accumulated its forked versions, including Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and eCash (XEC). Eager to consolidate everything into a multi-platform wallet, I began transferring funds.
As part of this process, I moved my XEC from Electrum ABC to Binance. Everything seemed to go smoothly… until 10 minutes later, when I checked my Electron Cash wallet—to my shock, my BCH balance had vanished! 😱💸
Understanding the Replay Attack 🛡️
This was a classic replay attack, a security risk that can arise after a blockchain fork. Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Shared History: When a blockchain undergoes a hard fork (such as Bitcoin splitting into Bitcoin Cash), both chains share the same transaction history up to the moment of the split. 📜
2️⃣ Transaction Vulnerability: If replay protection is not properly implemented, transactions on one chain can be replicated on the other. 🔁
$XEC
3️⃣ The Issue in My Case: When I sent XEC, the exact same transaction—same amount, same fee, same transaction hash—was broadcasted on the BCH network. As a result, my BCH was unintentionally sent to an address I didn’t control. 😓 Possibly, it was linked to the same private key as my XEC address.
Lessons Learned & Security Precautions 🔐
🔹 Key Takeaway: If you’re handling assets from a forked blockchain, always check for replay protection before initiating transactions. Splitting your coins on different chains can prevent this issue and safeguard your holdings.
