because hardfork lıke bıtcoın unlımıted makes 2 dıfferent coın.

there are a lot of things wrong with bitcoin unlimited but what you said is not it. any fork can lead to a split and 2 different coins. it has little to do with it being hard fork or soft fork and mostly it has to do with the amount of support they can get.

if any fork has the "overwhelming support" then there won't be any splits (like the previous hard fork that bitcoin had) and if it doesn't have that support then there will be a split like BIP148 which is a soft fork.

If am not wrong, the exact percentage was 80. So I guess it is overwhelming support. There are only few people who are still against the segwit so I don't think there will be 2 main coins after August 1.
Even if the percentage of support would be lower, nothing will change. None of the participants of the market of bitcoins doesn't want his division. Everything will be fine. And of course speculators will try to earn on a panic, so maybe the price will drop to 1 August.

I think if it was the original concept of segwit people would not panic at all but they added some extra feature to the code in the bitcoin scaling solution Segwit2x and that will be hardfork in the bitcoin crypto currency obviously there should be no two different coins in bitcoin cause the other one would just only get pump and dump. As people would only sell it and invest there money to the other BTC coin. Even though segwit2x would never be activated bitcoin would still run but it will fix some problems and improved the bitcoin transaction and it will also eliminate malleability that's been a problem of bitcoin for a very long time.

yes bitcoin can continue to function without SegWit and if it never activates it wouldn't be the end of the world either.

but with SegWit a lot of things will change. there are lots of benefits that we will get because of it.
the most obvious one that everyone is looking forward to is the capacity increase and the Malleability Fixes. [1]
also there is all the befits of lightning network which you can read here [2] [3]

in other words if we want to improve for the future we need it.

Because bitcoin has encountered block size limitations. The number of transactions in the network bitcoin has grown, and a block of the same size - this slows down its growth. I think so.
