I personally won't be buying it, or any other altcoins made by big corporations. At least it's a bit of promotion for crypto currencies in general, though.
Luckily, they probably won't be able to do much apart from going after local exchanges. This is why we should deal in Localbitcoins and decentralized exchanges.
The shit coins are dying most of them had no viable use and were probably blatant scams. There are some great projects that I will think come out on top after all of this.
Read the white paper of every project that you consider. If the coin seems like a scam or that it has zero market value, then don't waste your time filling up the forum.
Only take HCP's advice on this one. Risking so much money with random wallet recovery services is just stupid. Especially considering that it is only a 6-char password.
There would probably be a lot of strong dictatorships and ignorant, fearful people. The US government probably would have invaded even more countries using more effective propaganda.
