🤔B2X Bitcoin Segwit2x Fork - Where Did It Go?

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

So back in November the Segwit2x was supposed to happen then got cancelled.

Then it seem to resurface and according to their twitter account it actually occurred:

So what exactly does this mean?

I know for other forks some of the exchanges like Binance will typically acknowledge that the fork happened and give you some % of whatever you held in Bitcoin on the exchange at the time of the fork.

Like:

  • Bitcoin Cash
  • Bitcoin Gold
  • Bitcoin Super
  • Bitcoin Diamond

But this time around I feel like things went silent after the fork happened....like dead.

I did for the heck of it throw some Bitcoin into my exchange to hold during the "forkening" but I know this stuff usually doesn't happen over night.

So the question I got for others "in the know" - Does anyone have an idea which Exchanges might acknowledge this fork and give us B2X...if any?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can point me in the right direction!

I’ve been wondering about the exact same question earlier today.
I concluded that time will tell.
Meanwhile, it has been a very good promotion for Bitcoin. People are holding, and even buying Bitcoin, hoping to get another coin at a 1:1 ratio, like they did with Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Cash.

I must admit Ive been thinking about selling my Bitcoin after it hit $19000 and was going down again. But I didn’t. I simply didn’t sell because of all the upcoming hard forks/splits. Don’t take me wrong, I’m totally against forks - it undermines the reputation, value and credibility of a coin. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t like to get free money.

So maybe the entire Segwit2X hype was a good stunt to prevent people selling their BTC. Maybe it was not. We’ll just have to wait and see

The question is: how would they implement that? Sure, they can give you your B2X tokens but not "Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoins". Maybe it's good to wait if they're actually serious about the fork and announce a main net launch. The last thing they twittered was a "B2X to the Moon" meme.

Yeah. I just know most people usually pile up bitcoin to double up their money if they ever give you the tokens. IDK I guess we'll just wait and see what happens
