Beware of Segwit2x FUD

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Upcoming S2X fork

With the upcoming Bitcoin hardfork in November getting closer the attacks on it get more and more agressive.
The so-called s2x hardfork aims to double the block size while keeping Segwit integrated.
Although this has been agreed at the NY agreement as part of the deal for the miners to accept Segwit in August, opinions about increasing the blocksize are still very controversial.

FUD incoming

At the moment Bitcoin Core are ramping up the speed of their FUD campaign against Segwit2x:

In this post Bitcoin.org state that they will officially denounce all companies supporting s2x - companies like Coinbase, Jaxx and some of the biggest mining pools!

Research!

While I don't ask you to support the Segwit2x chain, I urge you to do your own research and read articles from different sources about the topic. You will find many different opinions and probably that not everything is as black and white as Bitcoin Core would like you to believe.

What is your opinion on the hardfork? Which chain will you support? Let me know in the comments!

I think if it gets contentious we could see another market crash.
