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

I know how you feel.That wasn't a good decision.You should have waited till the actual fork.Many companies and people were against segwit2x.That reason was enough to not invest such big amount in segwit2x futures.Don't lose hope and learn from this incident and don't do same mistake again Smiley
