Jimmy gives a balanced-ish view
My tl;dr - scammers Mike Belshe, Brian Armstrong and Barry Silbert are gonna need a bigger float.
There is no way that this round of attacks has enough dollars or secret, reserved hashpower behind it.

I'm not looking forward to this. Without a surefire plan to capitalize on these fork coins, short term seems doomish.
People getting all bearish. Makes me think there's one more spike upwards to squeeze all your shorts before the crash actually happens. Hopefully the fork isn't too messy. Who knows, there's still time for the btc1 people to add optional replay protection....
I'm not thinking of selling, I'm thinking of where to park my coins during the fork. Trezor doesn't plan to be very helpful.
As far as I understand with a Trezor, you hold your private keys and they are going to allow splitting as soon as replay protection does not present any kind of problem.. so they are kind of protecting you from yourself (why lose coins based on no replay protection or other inadequacies in the fork chain?).... So yeah, you could park some of your coins on exchanges, but then you are up to their total whim, too?

trezor does it well:

what exactly is "not helpful" here?

TREZOR device supports both BTC and B2X.
The TREZOR device supports both BTC and B2X. For both, new and legacy addresses will be supported.
However, as SegWit2X will not implement replay protection, there are certain steps you need to take before you can use both coins safely. We will prepare a guide for you to follow, should you wish to split your coins and use both coins.
