It seems that B2x has a better price value than the previous fork! What's bothering my mind is what would be the negative side if B2x doesn't have replay protection at all? Huh
Without replay protection, new transactions will be equally valid on both chains as well. This means that these transactions can be copied or “replayed,” from one chain to the other, in other words, for them to happen on both which is commonly referred as replay attack. If you send B2X to someone, you might accidentally send him BTC as well and vice versa because they can do a replay attack with the help of a miner in both chains.

Nicely put.

This topic subject tells a lot about how much people actually know segwit2x and its not having reply protection. It is only a week left but i still see a lot of people buying more Bitcoin with the belief that they will have equivalent amount of new coin. This is of course not the case.

Back to the subject, how can you be sure that B2X will actually be adopted as ""real bitcoin""? I am genuinely interested in any logical answer. "
