Title: Guess who's back? #segwit2x?
Post by: Juggy777 on December 20, 2017, 03:54:06 AM
Just got a mail from yobit saying segwit2x is definitely happening on the 28th, before I get excited for free coins I wish to know the following.

1) What happens to my existing coins?

2) They say they'll give one is to one, but I just have a small part of the coin, how much will I recieve.
 
3) Going ahead what makes sense, holding btc or btc2x.

4) Most importantly will the btc tank? Or will it rise?

5) Should one buy more btc for more btc2x.

Also just to understand one Bitcoin is 18k, if I buy one Bitcoin worth 18k do I get 18k in btc2x? Or what amount I'll recieve kindly someone please explain me with amount and examples.  Also if one only buys small amount say 0.5 which is 8k so does he get 8k or what?

Segwit2x isn't that a failure? Why is it coming back, where is the latest news about segwit2x?

Who in their right mind would put their money into a coin developed by unqualified people who failed to even just create a fork. Because imagine what would happen if those very same people would try to actually try to develop their coin further, like adding new features or making changes to existing code - there would be tons of bugs, and some of those bugs would lead to direct loss of coins. This applies not only to this stillborn zombie SegWit2x - Bcash dev team is pretty bad too, because after bumping blocksize to 8 MB they haven't even presented a decent roadmap. They should all take a lesson from Vitalik how to sell vaporwave to the masses.

Lol wow. Oh well. I'm not worried this time around. It has failed once, and it will fail again. I'm not as concerned this time around. I doubt it will make much of a splash.

I don't think Bitcoin will tank. It's probably going to follow the normal fork pattern of pumping before the fork, and dumping after. Shouldn't have much long term ill-effects.

One-to-one refers to ratio. It means you get as much B2X as you do BTC, even if you have less than one.

So is the B2X trading on yobit the actually B2X coins that are airdropping on the 28th or are they just some type of stand-in coin until the fork happens (that's assuming the fork hasn't happened yet)?

be careful, this does NOT seem to have anything to do with SegWit2x

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2595620
this is a very different project, with different developers and different specifics. and also it does NOT have a source code yet.

additionally if you check yobit the market for this is called B2X but the market for the real SegWit2x which they did distribute a long time ago is called YOB2X

I think that segwit 2x would not be successfully activated since last time also,we saw that they needed a block in size more than 1 MB to activate segwit2x and they dropped their plan since they could not find it.I don't know how they will find this time such a block greater than 1 MB size.So,i think that this would not be possible.

It is coming back to harm bitcoin even more. Bcash is on one side, b2x is on another.

B2x was always a joke. What they want is bcash to replace bitcoin. If the community stays strong which i have doubts, these retards don't have a chance.
