    Has anyone had issues with Bittrex verification?

    I've had a ticket open for 12 days and they closed it today without verifying me. My currently portfolio with them is around $190.

    I just opened another ticket but I'm sure it'll sit for another week or two. I'm starting to worry bc I cannot make any withdrawals until verification is complete.

    My basic verification didn't work, so I did the enhanced verification.

    So this Segwit2x thing isn't happening now? No fork? I'm so confused.

    I thought Bitcoin was supposed to be unregulated/uncentralized currency? If that's the case, who has the authority to cancel the fork? Someone somewhere is running this shit.

    These guys can sit down and decide to change the entire thing at any time? What gives them the authority?

    Why don’t you do a little research like everyone else here and learn the background on this instead of lashing out ignorantly

    These are basic questions that your first “what is Segwit2X article” answers.

    The fork was a protocol change that was signed in by a consensus by people representing most of the hashrate on the blockchain as well as other stakeholders like exchanges, bitcoin-related companies, etc.

    As time passed the agreement lost consensus and many in the community were vehemently against it. Earlier today enough signatories backed out that it lost the consensus it needed to be implemented and was cancelled.

    Seems like that violates the notion that there is no central governing authority.

    There is a small enough group of loosely organized key players in the space controlling enough of the hashrate that this is a legitimate concern for many, yes.

    It’s why you’ve seen some ASIC-resistant coins like Vert gain a lot of traction during the time leading up to the fork

    also haven't seen the $300mm coding error in ethereum discussed today. Seems like that would spread some fear, but the price of btc suggests otherwise.

    Just did some quick math. If I didn’t gamble with any BTC or ETH that I purchased within the last 18 months and just held the coins, I’d be up $12K.

    Yeah if I had just sold my WTC earnings at peak before the forks then held until now I’d have been up another $7k but I got cute and tried to keep swing trading WTC to get enough for a masternode when they release their wallet.

    I did well at the beginning then had a few days where I was tied up at work and did not do well and then got stubborn and ate some losses sitting in alts until the forks passed.
