Anonymous (ANON) Hard Fork Starts Trading, Expects Cryptopia Listing Soon

The Anonymous (ANON) digital asset, a recent hard fork of ZClassic (ZCL) and Bitcoin (BTC), has recently been added to TradeSatoshi, and expects a listing on Cryptopia soon. The asset, which remains relatively unpopular, is slowly fighting to find its way into the crypto ecosystem.

However, the luck of ANON is low for now, as the price quickly unraveled, especially on the SafeTrade exchange where it appeared initially. On Monday, September 17, ANON started to unravel from near the $2 level, and sank below a dollar.

According to CoinGecko, in the past 24 hours ANON traded at the lower range, between lows of $0.80 and $1.07. ANON traded at around $0.99 as of 11:00 UTC on September 20.

The low liquidity may be one of the risks for ANON, and the TradeSatoshi and Cryptopia listings may do little to ensure active trading. ANON remains a relatively unpopular fork, at a time when hard forks have also slowed down due to the bear market. The ZCL digital asset this time did not manage a spike-and-crash event, and now hovers around the $3.50 range.

But the ANON hard fork has several propositions that are raising red flags. Beyond mining and an airdrop based on a snapshot of balances, ANON will also offer masternodes. Some see masternode coins as borderline scams, offering outlandish promises of earnings.

Additionally, there are invitations to buy ANON at below-market prices from the official website, promising a 24% discount. According to Twitter users, the Anonymousbitcoin.org site is a scam, and buying ANON through it would lead to losses. The official site for ANON is Anonfork.io.

The project’s founder is also busily promoting the coin, stressing the potential for passive earnings:

For now, the crypto community remains skeptical, going as far as to call the entire project a scam. Initially, the name of John McAfee was thrown around.

But it turned out that McAfee withdrew his support from ANON, and remains in support of Bitcoin Private (BTCP), the earlier ZCL hard fork.
