Just heard about this XT split yesterday. If that means it will cut bitcoin's value in half then the bell tolls.
It happened to the company I was working for with our stock options. They split them and everyone that cashed out before that happened were lucky because after it happened, their stock's value was cut in half and the other half only rose alittle a year later.
They did this because the company became to big, corporate level, and they didn't want to pay employee's full value of their stock options they received for free when they got hired on by the company 5 years before. Now they don't give new employees these for free anymore and charge them to buy if they want in.
