Can someone explain to me how this is a scam? I see a working network and crypto. Where does the scam part come in? Did they steal private keys or something? Even if they premined 90% of the coins how is that scamming you? I thought in a scam there was a victim who loses money TO the scammer. Some of you idiots have just lost money to the free market and have no sense of responsibility for your own dumbass actions! But I trusted the team...You dont know them at all so stop trusting in these coins ffs and then crying when it doesnt hit the moon. Its been less than 2 months for crying out loud!
I've put a fair amount of thought into this project (and some mining power) and I agree, I don't think we can call it a scam as such, but we can call it a "sham". Why? Because this team has hijacked the SegWit2X name and attempted to profit from it. This is why HitBTC is trading different to Exrate prices, because HitBTC have been trading futures on the SegWit2X team involved in the New York conference. This SegWit2X team has literally NOTHING to do with the other SegWit2X team, hence a large amount of suspicion, confusion, different prices etc etc.
If only they'd called it another name, hey why not call it B4X?? why not Mickey-Mouse coin? why not Take-Me-To-The-Moon coin, who cares?? Call it anything, but don't associate with the SegWit2X name. Seriously, don't hijack another team's name and not expect to be doubted as to your credentials.
Calling it SegWit2X was a grave error, and expecting the wider crypto community to get on board with it is..optimistic at best, however you spin it.
