Scam or not...Monero itself's a good investment.
May as well load up on XMR and;
- take profit it it pumps
- hodl both through the fork and claim XMV if it proves legit
- hodl the XMR long term if it dips
Looks like a win-win-win...no reason not to get/add/hold XMR imo
That's exactly what I think too! Monero is a good buy itself, as it is in my opinion the best privacy coin and at the same time still undervalued.
To avoid any risk just create a seperate wallet solely for the fork, hold your XMR there and after the snapshot move them to another wallet. You'll then only share keys that belong to an empty XMR wallet. It's really that easy and it should be done with any fork.
