Guys, i think its just a joke. This is Huge news and would be everywhere if was true.

Read the warning here before you mistakenly take this fork at face value.  

I wish it were a joke, but they're trying their best to get their "news" everywhere.  I've seen "sponsored" articles on several news sites, (NewsBTC, bitcoin.com, coinblip and others) which means they've paid money out of their own pockets to advertise this doppelganger and try to pass it off as the real SegWit2x, which was (and remains) cancelled.  If they're spending money on advertising it, that means they probably have a plan on how to recoup that investment.  I can't help but wonder if they're stealing coins from private keys that don't belong to them on this newly created chain, maybe they plan on using some of those funds for themselves.  

Again, this is not the "real" SegWit2x.  It's a morally ambiguous clone with a misappropriated name.  Tread carefully.
