Bought 329 Segwit2x Futures on Bitfinex.
Sometime around the 6th.
Took a gamble yes I know, but after looking into it I believed Segwit2x would be the chain we all use as the real Bitcoin
News comes out that the fork is being called off, by the time i hear it about an hour later I check the futures price and it's trading at a whopping 90$ each
Moral of story :
Don't ever put almost half your portfolio in something risky like a forks futures
Sorry for your loss, that's a huge amount. What convinced you that Segwit2X could be the main chain? Putting half of your portofolio - in a futures - of a shitty fork of Bitcoin. That's three big mistake.
I couldn't believe that there are actual people who thinks B2X/BCH/other fork could replace the original Bitcoin. These things has happened over and over again since 2014 by the same people/group (Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin XT, Bitcoin Unlimited) yet people are still falling for it. Most people, including me, seeing those fork only as a way to make small gain by selling those coins immediately after the fork.
Yeah I agree with CodyAlfaridzi here. You just made the biggest mistake of your life when you gambled that huge amount into something that's not sure. You are one hella big risk taker I've known so far. 300K isn't a joke and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm also wondering why you're certain that segwit2x will be the main chain because for me I never believed in any of those fork coins.
