yes segwit2x is still alive and the b2x future is still awake, they was just too much exaggeration as bitpico. who claimed to control 30% hashrate. and are delibrating pressing to forge ahead regardless
CONTENTIOUS SEGWIT2X FORK WILL NOT HOLD
In recent days, Bitcoin suddenly picked upward from $7500 USD to establish a new all-time high of $7900 USD before an aggressive round of dumping drove the price back down to establish a new support at roughly $7000. After a brief overnight recovery of approximately 5%, the price of bitcoin hovers around 7170 USD.
While this is indeed a bad occurrence for many traders, it is a win for others. Bitcoin Cash traders dropped drastically from $1300 to $150 ... at the time of this writing ... it was still dangling about 290 usd....certainly BCH has doubled its size to the $600s.
Mike Belshe’s post stated that the goal of Segwit2x “has always been a smooth upgrade for Bitcoin. Although we strongly believe in the need for a larger blocksize, there is something we believe is even more important: keeping the community together.” Belshe acknowledged that Segwit2x had “failed to buil[d] sufficient consensus for a clean blocksize upgrade,” and that “continuing on the current path could divide the community and be a setback to Bitcoin’s growth.”
Alive again
After these messages that was signed by 5 major communities, the Bitpico has refused to option in into the agreement but has posted:
Backing down the difficulty right now is a strategy. Wonder why 30% network hash-rate disappeared? It’s ours; the miners that will continue what is set in motion. A handful of humans cannot stop what they have no control over.
Amazing how these post gained and geared many into the 2x Segwit Saga; it's crazy that the price is still going up even with uncertainties of fork versus no fork. Bitcoin is becoming a runaway train.
