This guy lost 80k dollars buying future B2X

[ThisManIsTesting]

Bart Jellema, This guy bought 80 000 $ in Bitcoin SegWit2X futures Arguing he believe it will become real Bitcoin,  after SegWit2x stopped, this guy just lost all of his money.
I want to know how B2X future coin can be bought, this is just a ridiculous scam from the exchange or the seller of those future B2X.

Do you think that he should get his money back  from the seller ?

First rule in investing in anything.. don't spend what you can not afford to loose..

Thats why mining is better opinion then futures? - Those coins what is possible to do so...

So who got that money , the exchange or how exactly does that works ?

[Nightwatchman]

His rationale was sound but given the way the developers have dithered over increasing block sizes, it sure was one heck of a gamble.

He can afford that so there is no problem i think. No one force him to buy it BUT it is good question what now and how exchanges will deal with it.

Is the project dead or postponed?

As mentioned earlier... People should only invest what they are happy to lose.. If you put £1000 into LTC and the value decreased by 1/2 then you've lost £500. The thing I always ask myself is would I be alright if I lost it due to market changes..

Yah, looks like he is not too concerned about his loss. But if he was so capable of losing 80k on a split BTC, you would think, he would have been better off buying BTC at the beginning of the year, when it was less than a grand.

 He actually says he is happy to have lost that money and that he would do it again. Does someone have his email? I'd have a business to offer to him
