I have no idea if this is legit or not, few people are talking about it, what do you make of this?

Doesn't look good.

Guys! I think it is time to short!  ::)

Stop thinking that everyone here is talking their book, just inspect the evidence and make an idea for yourself.
Be objective.

You're talking about the second largest economy, right? Their economy is falling faster than bitcoin anyway.

RIP Counterparty.

It sounds like rumors at present. Nobody seems to know if it's FUD or truth yet.

*tinfoil hat* Coincidentally just as overstock announces Counterparty integrating stock exchange replica...

RIP, scamcoins.

So maybe the 30k guy knew about this and sold?

May or may not be truth, but clearly presented with FUDdish agenda on reddit

what about the other companies?

if bad companies/scammers then bullish
if good companies then bearish

Btcdrak (developer of Viacoin working with Peter Todd) confirms having heard this few weeks ago.

2nd gen coins are mostly scamcoins (if not all)

it's the unregistered businesses that issue shares on the asset exchange that are at risk, not the technology itself. You don't fine the fiat system(or the Fed) when someone commits fraud do you? So it's not the platform that is at risk, again it's the companies that issue illegal securities on the platform.

but i am short bitcoins!  ;D

I agree a short position right now would be wise. But a substantial long position on nem(see signature) would be much more profitable even with the decline of bitcoin. Il quote this post again in exactly one month. ;) 2.0 coins ain't a scam and making that assumption is going to come back and bite pretty hard.

Please please please do come back and quote this after whatever scam coin you're advertising dies in a few weeks. 2.0 coins are certainly a scam, they have no uses except buying bitcoins with them. You can't buy actual things with any of the altcoins. Until the day they do, no Altcoin will ever even attempt to approach bitcoin.

While I don't believe BTC will be the be-all and end-all when it comes to cryptocurrency.  I don't see current stable of 2.0 coins being the ONE.

should I be worried?

If you own a lot of some 2.0 coin that's dependent on US businesses for asset/share issuance on that coin's platform, or if you work for or own one of these companies, then, yeah, maybe be a little worried.

If you're just holding bitcoin, then just watch as the benefits of actual decentralization and trustlessness become more apparent (over the longer-term) to the previously wide-eyed and naive "Bitcoin 2.0" crowd.

The patch was removed.

the topic title is pure FUD or OP is severely mistaken. Counterparty devs never issued this warning, from the looks of things it was a random person that dropped into their IRC channel.

More likely than not this is the case, however. It would be nice to see some concrete information one way or another.

I just posted the thread title exactly as it was on reddit.
That's it.

Looks like a FUD attempt by some clowns trying to move the market down.

Remember USA is not the world.
