As you probably know from all the news Segwit2x was activated with consensus from the majority of miners. The first step is done and we are in the middle of an activation period as the network prepares to upgrade.
But there is something happening on August 1st that may have a big impact on the network. It's called BIP 148 UASF and it's a controversial way for non miners to try and gain power in Bitcoin.
Right now the miners have all the power to decide which transactions are good and what new changes to support. This proposal would try and force the activation of Segwit through non mining nodes that anyone can download and run.
The idea is all nodes running BIP 148 would begin rejecting blocks from miners who do not support Segwit. This could result in a chain split and potentially two or more version of Bitcoin. Or it could be a very boring event as everyone falls in line and supports a single chain.
