http://coinivore.com/2017/08/10/bitcoin-cash-superior-segwit2x-bitcoin-core-developer/Gregory Maxwell, a Bitcoin Core developer, and Blockstream’s CTO, publicly stated on Reddit that the alternative to Bitcoin born on August 1st, Bitcoin Cash, is superior to Segwit2x.
“Bcash at least has replay protection and HF safe headers now (though it didn’t until it hit its difficulty adjustment rule). It is superior to S2X. It also doesn’t seek to force itself on anyone who doesn’t want it,” Maxwell said.
*It’s very interesting to see a Bitcoin Core developer state that BTC is essentially inferior to its newly split counter part Bcash which is supposed to fix most of the problems developers have with the current legacy BTC.
Could we witness a market reversal with BTC dropping in value as Bcash shoots up in value if Segwit2x fails? What do you think?

BTC client software set to reject SegWit2x nodes
https://www.coindesk.com/full-steam-ahead-segwit2x-reconfirm-bitcoin-hard-fork-plan/While the official statement is still being reviewed by the open-source group, it has achieved "general approval" from Segwit2x members, according to Bloq founder and Segwit2x developer Jeff Garzik.
As such, the confirmation is emerging as one of the first signs that bitcoin could be headed for more turbulent times ahead.
Since many bitcoin users don't support the change (at least not so quickly), the fork could lead to another split of the bitcoin network and the creation of another bitcoin cryptocurrency. Bitcoin cash, which split from the bitcoin blockchain last week, has already attracted criticisms for creating brand confusion, though its price (currently $318) has held steadier than some expected.
The way i see it now...bcc is pure bitcoin, no 2nd layer , no segwit clinging on...bcc improves bitcoin far more consist with the view of the dev..Mr Satoshi Nakamoto
The bitcoin btc is now stuck as segwit coin.
