The cryptocurrency market has seen a lot of ups and downs since the start of the bear attack which has directly affected the prices, market caps, and other metrics. Since the start of March, the prices have seen a slight increase with Bitcoin seeing a steady hold above $4000. There has also been a steady increase in the hash rate of Bitcoin, which means that the number of people coming into the Bitcoin ecosystem has increased.

Recent reports show that Bitcoin’s hash rate had seen a drop of 50% but then steadily increased to register an 80% gain. At the same time, Ethereum had dropped by 50% with no recovery as of yet. Dovey Wan, the Founding partner at Primitive had said:

“This is the most direct reflection of confidence from miners based on their expectation of that PoW coin.”

She further stated that:

“Zcash hashrate has been pretty steady despite having maybe the worst price performance of all top PoW coins, thanks to A9 being the most profitable ASIC out there which can still mine Zcash profitably even if $ZEC price hits $10.”

According to the charts, Ethereum’s hash rate had peaked sometime around August 2018 after which it had continuously fallen to settle at its current hash rate of 147.221 billion hashes per second. At the same time, Bitcoin’s hash rate was at 47.567 trillion, a stark increase from its fall to 32.728 trillion before the end of 2018.

Bitcoin’s resurgence in its hash rate was shown recently when it recorded a 4-month high on the charts. On March 19, Bitcoin’s hash rate increased to 52 quintillion hashes per second, the highest it had reached since November 2018, when the hash rate spiked to 54 quintillions. The highest hash rate ever recorded in the Bitcoin ecosystem was 62 quintillion hashes per second which was achieved in August 2018.

GDAX Will Support the “Limited” SegWit2x Hard Fork After all

The SegWit2x hard fork has been very contentious, to say the very least. Initial support started dwindling pretty quickly. Moreover, the developers informed the world this plan was canceled not too long ago. It seems that situation has come to change as well. A few community members will still attempt to go ahead with this fork in a few hours. As a result, GDAX will disable bitcoin transactions and make funds available to users. An interesting development, to say the very least.

It is uncanny how the SegWit2x debacle is still not over. A lot of people were relieved when the developers scrapped their initial plans. A few hours later, someone mentioned the community would still go ahead with this fork. There are still a few miners supporting it. How all of this will play out over the next 48 hours, remains to be determined. There is a lot of confusion regarding this development, which is only understandable.

GDAX Doubts SegWit2x Will Survive

GDAX has announced their stance regarding this fork. First of all, bitcoin deposits and withdrawals will be disabled 6 hours before the fork. This event is scheduled to take place later today at around 2 AM. Preventing users from sending funds to the wrong chain is the company’s main priority. It is unknown what type of replay protection SegWit2x will offer in its current iteration. Trading on GDAX will not be affected by this change, though.

Assuming the chain is valid, the company will support the B2X tokens as well. There is no reason to believe this will become the majority chain later today, but one never knows. A lot of strange things have happened in the bitcoin world as of late. This new fork will create even more tension among bitcoin supporters. Do keep in mind trading of B2X will not be supported by the company right away, if ever. It certainly creates an incentive for people to buy bitcoin right now.

Should the chain be unusable, there is no plan for B2X support whatsoever. GDAX won’t even allow withdrawals of the currency either in that case. It is still possible they would allow trading later on, depending on whether or not the chain survives. Rest assured a lot of people will keep an eye on the SegWit2x chain in the coming hours. It is good to see companies clarify their position regarding sensitive matters. Three competing bitcoin forks will certainly shake things up quite a bit.
