The violent Bitcoin crash turned out to be a good buying opportunity? Hard to say, but at least you get the cheaper approach the next „free“ spin-off pursuant Bitcoin cash and gold Bitcoin
And at 28.12.
This statement of the project’s founder here makes me somewhat suspicious arg: What does that mean exactly?
„I promise that all BTC holders will receive not only B2X in the ratio of 1 to 1, ie but a proportional number of Satoshi Nakamoto`s Bitcoins as a reward For their commitment to progress.

Some important changes vs.. the Bitcoin:
New blocks are generated every 2.5 minutes (as in Litecoin) instead of every 10 minutes as in Bitcoin in section.
Block size up to 4 MB (currently 1 MB).
Both ensures that significantly more transactions can be settled.
But Bitcoin Code does the system really work? be that as it may, there are again Free Coins as then in Bitcoin Cash.
Important: How to get now as the owner of Bitcoin to these new coins?
If one has an online wallet such as Coinbase or blockchain.info one would rely on that one there supports the Fork and even then it may take until you have access.
The only safe solution is: You need the private key. Then nothing can go wrong.

What if I have certificates?
Vontobel has not implemented the Forks by further certificates. Commendable!
What if I hold CFDs?
Then you will not participate in the Fork! The same goes for the Future.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a great 2018!
