Looks like a FUD attempt by some clowns trying to move the market down.
Remember USA is not the world.

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

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

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.

RIP, scamcoins.
2nd gen coins are mostly scamcoins (if not all)
but i am short bitcoins!
2.0 coins ain't a scam and making that assumption is going to come back and bite pretty hard. 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.

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.

May or may not be truth, but clearly presented with FUDdish agenda on reddit
October 10, 2014, 07:22:38 AM
So maybe the 30k guy knew about this and sold?

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

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