Meanwhile, the claim by Voorhees that there is an overwhelming support for SegWit2x scaling plan for Bitcoin can be said as not entirely accurate.

In fact, the real score is that there is increasing support for the original SegWit plan, but this cannot be said about its second version.

Holding him accountable for his previous statement and commitment to support hard fork, a Twitter user reminded him of his previous stance on the issue.

Many exchanges and cryptocurrency pundits are torn about the issue, and it is expected that the new cryptocurrency will experience some growing pains after its launch.

The presence of a growing number of exchanges which are expressing their support for the digital currency, however, is a positive start. Whether you're on with the supporting side or not, it will be interesting to see how the new token will perform following its launch on Aug. 1.

There will be users or investors who are supporting the new token, as well as those who will stick to the leading digital currency Bitcoin.
