I am in the crypto-sphere since 2013 and bitcointalk was always the source of information.
But it seems some "heroes" here try to degrade every newbie because of the post count or whatever and just look for their own portfolio gains.
Healthy discussions are killed and different view are suppressed ... or rumors (FUD) are spread.
I am unsure if the "Community" turned into a shark tank ...
I am running a shareholder-company almost 24/7, so my time to reply is limited and this is the reason for my postcount - nothing else.
Regarding Segwitx2 or Bitcoin2x:
What is a "premine" - scam? Every ICO / ITO is putting a good chunk of YOUR USD/ETH/BTC/LTC aside for the team, the marketing, and legal cost - up to 25% of the money you paid. This is a real dollar value from day 1.
They pay themselves huge salaries that match the one of a CEO, because of an idea! And it is still YOUR money they use to buy
...
The B2X team is putting aside 4.9% for this and it is not even your money! When can they cash out? Other than ICOs they have to deliver before they can cash out since they didn't sell you any worthless token for USD, they have to fill this coins with LIFE before they can make a significant return.
What would happen if 10.000 coins would be sold on an exchange from wallet http://b2x.miningpool.shop/address/18wFZB62chDhYdapBnVEXX4y9hUvWs8yRu.
The price would drop to 0. Great return on that venture then ...
The premined coins are 90% in a TRUST and will be distributed with a snapshot from 8th January of the B2X Blockchain:

The marketing campaign that was done, was costly and paid of their own pockets and not from any ICO raised ETH/BTC.
To use the name "SegWit" is not a copyright infringement - it is a protocol-name like TCP/IP for emails - the only misleading bit is x2 since it is x4.
They have 600TH hashing power - which is 1/3 of DASH, they have nearly instant transactions and 100 confirmations in a short time. This went smoother than BCH and is not owned by a cooperation.
So get your facts straight and stop supporting coins that are owned by Chinese miners and have a "kill-switch".
Feel free to post "sock puppet" or whatever you did in the last 5 pages ...
Happy new year!
