Hey, relax. Calm your tits. Just because they're gonna supend their bitcoin service, they are going to ban bitcoin. I think it's because of technical issues. Using bitcoin or sending/receiving bitcoin on that particular day and time is risky. Other exchangers are released also notices about that date because the using bitcoin that time might cause problems because fork is taking place. So relax mate. It's for the safety of their users. Im just curious about what's gonna happen to bitcoin. Is it going to split into 2? Or more?
