Bitcoin 2

Bitcoin 2 is a scalable Bitcoin fork with private transactions and instant verified payments.

Open source - Anonymous - Fast - Proof of Stake algorithm.

All Bitcoin holders as of block 507850 (~February 5 2018)  are also owners of Bitcoin 2 on a 1 for 1 basis.

The Bitcoin 2 balances, addresses and supply were set to equal those of Bitcoin but for  early adopters annual ROI for staking  is high before tons of people know about Bitcoin 2.  The blockchain data was pruned from 147 GB to less than 1.5 GB.  This helps new nodes get started much faster.

Sending the old Bitcoins can sometimes be more expensive than wire transfers and slow compared to other crypto currencies. The transactions are also trackable. With all the fighting about what to implement going on, major improvements to Bitcoin come slowly if at all. 

Thus Bitcoin 2 had to be born. Bitcoin 2 solves those problems and is also fast enough to be accepted as a payment method by retail shops and grocery stores due to the SwiftTX feature.
