Today 01.08.2017 marks the exodus of the big blockers, those who wanted to scale on chain as of block 478559 will now be able to do so on a fork of Bitcoin. The new fork is called Bitcoin Cash (BCH) on http://www.coinmarketcap.com and other trading sites. Anyone who held Bitcoin prior to this fork and have their private keys will now have BCH also, if you have held your Bitcoin on an exchange then you will be at the mercy of the exchange as to whether they will credit your account with the corresponding BCH. Currently the coin is valued at $276.81 and with potentially 16,482,675 coins according to
http://www.coinmarketcap.com that makes a market cap of $4,562,569,266.75!!!! So the 4th largest market cap and relegating Litecoin to 5th. This hasn't been reflected yet on the site but should be shown in due course
The scaling debacle has been going on for years and hopefully now everyone has what they want and can move on. Here's to the future of crypto and freedom of choice
