Then you might be interested to know who is behind Segwit2x.
With a little digging, it is not hard to find that DCG (Digital Currency Group) is at the forefront of Segwit2x.
These three board members are particularly interesting:
CEO Barry Silbert is an ex investment banker for Houlihan Lokey.
Glenn Hutchins is a former advisor to President Clinton and currently sits as a class B director at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Lawrence H Summers was the Chief Economist for the world bank, Undersecretary for International Affairs of the United States Department of the Treasury under Robin Rubin who he then succeeded in 1999 becoming the Secretary of the Treasury.
They are large investors in BitGo - a security startup tasked with overseeing the development of Segwit2x.
BitGo will "guarantee that transactions cannot be double spent". But doesn't blockchain already do that?
The answer is yes. So it seems here that they are creating a middleman who will guarantee your transaction gets confirmed and take a fee.
We will be staying well away from Segwit2x
