Suddenly, without barely any notification (YOBIT users were notified that they will be creditet) Bitcoin LIZA just somehow appeared on the market.
YOBIT users received an e-mail notification that they will be credited 100 LIZA tokens for each BTC that they have deposited to their account on the 29th of November at 21:00.
Some people sent out warning that it might be a phishing scam, but apparently, it was not, and trading on the aforementioned platform already started.
It looks like more and more 'projects' are trying to ride the Bitcoin wave.
I am pretty sure this just makes cryptocurrencies seem like scams, ponzies, etc. This hard fork festival is clearly getting out of hand, and I am not even sure what users can do about it. It is diluting the market, and in the meantime exchanges are reaping in profits through their exchange fees. At the same time this is also inflating the price of BTC (because people are dumping these coins for BTC). Currently it does not really seems like the market is 'healthy'.
What is also interesting is that /r/bitcoin automatically removes all discussion about this coin (most likely because it is considered an altcoin):

While all this happened Bitcoin Platinum suddenly changed their time of the fork:
Then changed it again:
Which puts the fork date to around December 12th.
I wanted to mention that other, actually legitimate projects do not get the same attention or treatment as these tokens and airdrops. I am really wondering why a project like BitcoinZ (https://bitcoinz.global/en/) for example, and there are countless others out there that are flying under everyone's radar.
So, cheers to the people actually working and/or supporting legitimate projects.
