Back in March I promised myself not too trade, see my first post on this blog: https://steemit.com/money/@genesisre/investing-strategy-suiting-your-needs-and-why-i-won-t-actively-trade-bitcoin

----

In time leading to August fork I've risked too much moving BTC to some Chinese exchange that was already supporting the futures market.

This time around I've made pretty much the same  mistake - I was paying way too much attention to the Bitcoin Gold fork.

What happened was kind of obvious. Here is another blogpost I wrote about SegWit2x fork: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@genesisre/bitcoin-cash-fork-segwit2x-fork-no-such-thing-as-free-money

I should have known better. Even though I've invested a lot of energy into research, I didn't played optimally...

**Just before the fork = pump.**

**Right after the fork = dump.**

I should have figured out which exchanges support Bitcoin Gold and move there before the fork. Then sell for extra 8-9%...
