Although this Segwit2x canceled, it is required to do a upgrade to blockchain architecture of bitcoin to enable fast transactions and fast commissioning. Otherwise it is unable to use bitcoin as a payment method. It is must to do a hard fork for bitcoin for enabling real time payments

We don't need forks now ( A.K.A. new currencies ), we need
to FIX the original BTC blockchain , because the real VIP of the cryptocurrencies is Bitcoin, and not Litecoin nor Bitcoin Cash etc., so if BTC loses value/price due to transaction issues, then
all the other cryptos would fall down.
The other cryptos reputation and value strongly depend on the original one, the pioneer, which is BTC.
So they should fix BTC, not create another currency.
Because the common people only heard about Bitcoin, not even Litecoin nor Ethereum.
But alas i guess the official team is just planning to create a separate currency/blockchain, not to fix Bitcoin.
Right?
