If the fork is accomplished then there will be split in the chain and the chain with larger support will be called Bitcoin. The segwit2x doesn't have any major support and that is why they are going to lose this battle. So they will either call off the fork or will fork the coin and then get dumped.
Almost all the people dump the forked coin as they get it for free. After dumping the forked coin there are good chances for Altcoins to rise.

The last fork that introduce bitcoin makes no harm to the market of bitcoin though the value suddenly drops before the expected day still it recovers a week after and give a more promising value appreciation that is what we are enjoying at this point but the second one is quite unpredictable added the fact that the other thing around happen to the value of bitcoin a week before the expected fork I just hope there is ni bad thing that will happen to bitcoin after that

At some stage the funding for the Amazon virtual SegWit2X nodes will run out and people will see what bullshit SegWit2X is.

Then SegWit2X will fade away like Bitcoin XT did and the competitors will think up a new angle to launch another hostile

takeover of Bitcoin {BTC} They will never give up, because there are a lot of power and greed behind these motives to take

over BTC.  Angry

Another hard fork on the horizon. We are not far away from the SegWit2x hard fork of the main chain of Bitcoin, possibly taking place on the 15 or 16 November, when reached the block 494.784. This is not one more hard fork, like the ones that happened (Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold), this one will decide who becomes the owner of Bitcoin, that means wich blockchain will be choose and have the most hashpower on the market. A lot of questions are raised and secondary effects doe to the fork can happen, just be sure you have the private keys of your wallets and you will be good.

5. Switch back to 1-CPU 1-hash mining again, miner instigated hard forks become harder, Bitcoin proves it's unassailable again
6. 21st century gold-rush ensues Cheesy

If exchanges like Coinbase (NYA signer, I think) and Gemini (stated majority hash power follower) and Bitpay (majority hash power follower) all follow Segwit2x and continue to market it as Bitcoin won't that mean that the substantial majority of Bitcoin transactions are Segwit2x with a pull on some of the rest of the community to move over to be able to use these services?

What will be the key value points to attract new people to legacy Bitcoin?  (I know I entered Bitcoin through Gemini because I liked .25% and they seemed fairly solid)

After the segwit, a stronger bitcoin will surface. There is no hardfork happening. I think the people behind bitcoin will not even approve of it. Softfork is likely. It will not cause a serious shake for me. Instead, a sort of a development or improvement will be installed. After the segwit come August 1, the price of bitcoin will soar high.

It's sort of a game of chicken. Many people say that there will be a hard fork but the miners have a lot to lose if they hard fork and people don't go with it. I actually think it's likely that there will be two Bitcoins and that the more decentralized one will win.

there can't be 2 bitcoin fork, there will be always one that will prevail over the other, and other will be considered an altcoin immediately

if segwit2x will not continue with the hard fork of 2mb, then wasn't just better to do the standard segwit? i can't see the point of the 2mb, if none agree to HF

Well that's just not true. One will obviously do better than the other but that doesn't mean the other will necessarily completely fail. It could be like eth classic and eth where one is worth a hell of a lot more than the other, but the other still has some followers for whatever reason.
Yeah bitcoin will just have like ethereum classic which is called bitcoin unlimited and it will have followers for sure because it will be generated by the asian people who will support and split from the chain. I think the segwit2x is a completely good action for bitcoin because the chain will split into two and the network will be decreased on its possible users so the transactions will become faster.

Bitcoin will do whatever the survey outcome is.
Bitcoin is not a natural phenomena that only
follows the laws of physics , it is exactly what
users wish it to be. If people decide it has value
it will have value.

After the segwit2x, the network or the blocks in the network will become bigger in terms of size so the blocks are capable of having more transactions which will give more space for the network so i think the transactions will become faster and the fees will be lower a little bit and it will be a great news for most of the bitcoin users and there might be a pump after the segwit2x.

Yeah hope the activation will be successful. If this will be a success there will be a larger block chain for faster transaction. And like what you'd said. The splitting of the block chain is the only thing I don't like about. This will just bring confusions to many. But still these are all speculations, many things will happen after the activation but hope these are for the better bitcoin community.

There are also some suspicions that Segwit2x is just another distraction to prevent UASF happening or at least cut off its possible future support.
Suspicion?  It's 100% obvious that it's trying to diminish UASF's support.  The whole point is to get it activated before UASF becomes too popular.  There's no way anything would have happened this month if it wasn't for UASF being a threat.
Quote from: mindrust
There is a possibility that we may never ever get segwit2x. They may delay segwit2x to the last second and leave UASF with little support on Aug1 and they may change their minds about it afterwards.

That's not a small possibility considering that Jihan's/Roger's real thoughts on segwit.
Honestly, I see that as unlikely.  Looks more like a conspiracy theory than anything particularly intelligent - after that there would just be the threat of a different UASF a bit later instead.

i think after segwit, the price of crypto currency will be increase or maybe it will make correction price before the up price. and for bitcoin, after segwit, the correction will be waiting for us and i hope we don't get panic to see this because after correction, the price is moving to go up. just waiting and enjoy the party  Grin

This is good news for those who hold btc when there are two strings. If you're keeping btc you will have two strings are "148 BTC" and "Legacy BTC" after splitting. Besides, there will be several other scenarios will occur risky
