In recent weeks I noticed a huge hype around Digibyte and its future connection with Minecraft. Thanks to the vague Twitter announcement and countdown microsite people got crazy and the value skyrocketed. Many people invested serious amounts of money in Digibyte just because of Minecraft connection and because: „Millions of players will soon be introduced to Digibyte!". Also many fortune-teller youtubers are screaming that Digibyte will reach 1$ in near future just because of Minecraft launch. So I was suspicious about it and tried to find more info…
Don't get me wrong I also own a bit of Digi and I believe it can be successful in the future. BUT THE HYPE AROUND MINECRAFT IS NONSENSE! There is absolutely no connection between Digibyte and Minecraft developer Mojang. Guys from Digibyte are just starting their own server where you can play and earn Digibyte by mining blocks in survival mode. Which is very nice and it will probably boost the coin but its nowhere close to what most of these investors expect (incorporating Digibyte as an in-game currency for all players). So in reality 99% of normal Minecraft players will never know about it. Also the server is not a new thing. It was running before and now its just launching again after update.
The whole thing seems to be just a big misunderstanding. Continue supporting Digibyte if you like it just please don't believe the hype around Minecraft and everything they say about huge playerbase, number of Minecraft copies sold worldwide etc. And don't quit your day job yet :D
Read their official statement:
We don't have any relationship with Mojang nor Microsoft. This is just a server meant for everyone to play on many devices (PC, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi 3 and more!). You will basically earn DigiByte for playing minigames and for selling diamonds which you mined in Survival. You can also buy Ranks (mostly cosmetics) with your earned DigiByte or with real money (credit card, bank). If you would like to have a chat contact me on Telegram @LaurynasHQ or on Twitter 
Please UPVOTE and RESTEEM this article so the information can spread. Thanks.
