Title: Bitcoin SegWit2x Fork [B2X] Got Cancelled

The Segwit2x effort began in May with a simple purpose:  to increase the blocksize and improve Bitcoin scalability. At the time, the Bitcoin community was in crisis after nearly 3 years of heavy debate, and consensus for Segwit seemed like a distant mirage with only 30% support among miners.
Segwit2x found its first success in August, as it broke the deadlock and quickly led to Segwit’s successful activation. Since that time, the team shifted its efforts to phase two of the project - a 2MB blocksize increase.

Our goal has always been a smooth upgrade for Bitcoin.  Although we strongly believe in the need for a larger blocksize, there is something we believe is even more important: keeping the community together.
Unfortunately, it is clear that we have not built sufficient consensus for a clean blocksize upgrade at this time. Continuing on the current path could divide the community and be a setback to Bitcoin’s growth. This was never the goal of Segwit2x.

As fees rise on the blockchain, we believe it will eventually become obvious that on-chain capacity increases are necessary. When that happens, we hope the community will come together and find a solution, possibly with a blocksize increase. Until then, we are suspending our plans for the upcoming 2MB upgrade.

We want to thank everyone that contributed constructively to Segwit2x, whether you were in favor or against. Your efforts are what makes Bitcoin great. Bitcoin remains the greatest form of money mankind has ever seen, and we remain dedicated to protecting and fostering its growth worldwide.

Bitcoin will come out stronger than ever out of this recent news. I already see the markets into a new bull-rush. But, despite the Bull-rush, the sell-off is going to be huge for Bitcoin, as now the bubble is over inflating behind the value for no apparent reason, other than for the big whales to dump all their BTC onto the market.

News like this gives hope for BTC, but gives it less power on the markets due to this recent rush only pertaining to the recent BTCgold fork, and no longer segwit

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/segwit2x/

A lot of people lost a lot of money trading this unreleased forked coin.

and possible issues and even possible death of bitcoin itself.

Thx God they changed their mind.

No, Bitcoin will never die. But i can almost guarantee you that segwit won't be the last attempt at a new Bitcoin fork. This is the new "ICO' but for bitcoin miners/pools and big whales to play with. Forking BTC is free profit along with the major hype of buying into the markets.

Everyone should be in awe that the vote, voted in favor of no fork, which means there is a much bigger story going on behind the scenes than what we know of currently.

Pumping ALT coins ?
Altcoins dropped hugely past one month and are largely undervalued. This news might bring a minor correction in bitcoin price before $8k+ run. Money will flow to altcoins as well.

This news isn't only good for Bitcoin but for whole crypto market. When the market experiences uncertainty, money flows to the most trusted asset which in altcoin market is Bitcoin dumping all the altcoins. Now the money should get back to altcoins according to my estimate and we should see a bullish run in altcoin market.

I always found the futures trading to be very sketchy. It's pretty much aching to Russian Roulette.

Either way, I'm glad that the fork got called off in an attempt to further solidify the Bitcoin community. Hopefully the actual upgrade will be even better than what was planned as a result!

The problem is we need to continue to face the long lead time of every transaction in the blockchain resulting to increase of service fees by the trading sites and exchanges especially now that more and more transactions will be requested soon because lot of people are coming to join the bitcoin investments.This is why i support segwit2x in order to facilitate these increasing transactions and make the long lead time to be reduced as this will result to a cheaper service fees in the future.

Yes, this is great news and the same is being reported on coindesk so this is the end of the segwit2x hard fork, I’m glad that the miners decided to call this off it was obvious the community was not going to follow them and they would have lost a lot of money as a result, so even if this decision came from self interest I think this is the best outcome for bitcoin.

This is positive news for altcoins and the price is starting to reflect the Segwit2x fork cancellation.  It is too risky to hold onto bitcoins because the correction could be brutal.  Pick up some cheap altcoins while you can.  Waves tokens is looking hot and the next generation release could happen very soon.

Bitcoin fork Segwit2x has been a debate since around May this year but then they decided to cancel the fork due to some reasons but they didn't conclude that the said fork will not be pushed in the future.
Segwit2x is the debate between Bitcoin core developers and the only things to be consider is to increase the size amount of each block and better scalability but majority of the developers were not convinced that the need for little adjustments would be better and effective that's why they are creating a new fork called Segwit2x and other hard forks as well the Bitcoin can and Bitcoin Gold  and more the incoming Bitcoin Silver.

No one can give you an answer now. Look at BTC - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ it's not going to fall (7310$ now), want to raise $8000 maybe ;D
I'll be watching from the side until at least tomorrow, it is not clear how the situation will develop.

I don't really quite understand why someone would buy B2X before the fork. In fact I don't understand why someone would even buy B2X. The sole porpuse is to dump the airdrop on the market just like the other Bitcoin clones in the past.

Tip: Don't buy Bitcoin clones ever again!

Bitcoin will hold the uptrend, even with the cancellation of the fork. Altcoins will not yet profit from this, it will take a while before they start going up again. Even if whales start dumping bitcoins, 10K is within reach in next months to come.

The bitcoin dump is really going insane. Just a few hours ago I saw a $300 down which made me worry but also kind of happy because I have alts that wants pumping now.
I guess this will be busy day afterwards. A lot of coffee will be needed for monitoring the prices.

I agree with you about altcoins. Their price will rise and might reach all-time high. But I don't think BTC price will drop very much. Most probably after a correction bitcoin price will rise again (but more smoothly this time)

Guys have you ever read about this guy https://medium.com/@bartjellema/why-i-just-bought-90-b2x-bitcoin-segwit2x-futures-f94d0ee13eb9 he bought B2x futures. I know what he's feeling right now, it such a pain on his wallet and on his mind that why did he want to invest that much by only speculating. Sometimes speculations aren't accurate and if you are too confident with it, be careful.

Bitcoin will come out stronger than ever out of this recent news. I already see the markets into a new bull-rush. But, despite the Bull-rush, the sell-off is going to be huge for Bitcoin, as now the bubble is over inflating behind the value for no apparent reason, other than for the big whales to dump all their BTC onto the market.

News like this gives hope for BTC, but gives it less power on the markets due to this recent rush only pertaining to the recent BTCgold fork, and no longer segwit

This is a trash coin, segwit2x is bch team supporters, they are greedy selling trash token to market, do you want to hold unrealistic token? Yes it is trash token you have in the market, stay away get free then dump token, never never buy the segwit2x token

I was surprised today when I found out that bitcoin fork is canceled. This is actually a very good news for altcoins. I think that people will now come back to the altcoins in order to invest and trade them and the cost of altcoins will go up. I also expect that bitcoin value will decrease, because people will invest some parts of their bitcoin's portfolio in altcoins. Hopefully better times are coming for altcoins. Hope to see my portfolio in green :-)

Remember in the last week, BCH price has risen from 0.053 BTC to 0.08btc - so the rise already happened. I'm pretty sure that some insider knew that segwit2x would be cancelled and started buying BCh ahead of time.

Hard to know how this will affect the market, the price has remained steady for BTC, on one side it takes away many risks and brings more confidence and stability but its hard to know if it will drop much due to money flowing back into alts.

The other thing to watch is the price of BCH, will it become stronger and continue to grow in price as an alternative to 2x with 8mb block size, lower fees and faster transaction.  :-\

I just read something on twitter that there is another team that lay claim to the 30% hash rate that say they are going forward with SegWit2x, I just believe someone somewhere will push through this, it now depend on exchanges to list them.

You did well. Just HODL onto your bitcoins and you'll be fine. B2X was a short-term profit but bad for Bitcoin ecosystem as whole, it was an attack on the very principles on which Bitcoin is built. Not that's suspended, the faith is restored in Bitcoin and there will be no stopping. You're on the right side, just wait and watch.

Every encryptcurrency enthusiast has the same concerns, because some people's interests, if they divide BTC, are likely to lead to the demise of BTC, which everyone is not willing to see.

I think this is going to help altcoins and new ICO as people are going to be more inclined to invest into them. But the price of Bitcoin is still very high.

It will surely help altcoins, and that's good news for us. But because alts are quite high, there is a huge chance that investors will choose altcoins over btc, and might lead to the dip of value of btc. But I think the descention of the value will not occur that long, for sure btc will become high again.

There can be uncertainty at the market because of this news. I hope BTC dominance rate will reduce so alts would rise once again.

If you look up the charts, they already have started rising again. Quite a few alts have jumped in price quite a lot just today, so it's safe to assume that the bull markets will be starting again now.

I guess it was the  best thing that's happened so far, some may agree.
But i like to see the positive that a change might bring to Bitcoin and to the traders.
Bitcoin would drop in value then gain value again, depending on the adaptation of the Coin.
I wonder what forks 2018 will bring, if any!

If Segwit2x is cancelled does that mean that Bitcoin Silver is cancelled too. Will there be a fork in December or is it all left for 2k18 now?
It's all good news i guess for now.

They still believe scaling is necessary. The plans are suspended, not canceled.

As fees rise on the blockchain, we believe it will eventually become obvious that on-chain capacity increases are necessary. When that happens, we hope the community will come together and find a solution, possibly with a blocksize increase. Until then, we are suspending our plans for the upcoming 2MB upgrade.

Such a relief
I was really worried about all that stuff that was going on around Bitcoin and future possible Hard Fork
and possible issues and even possible death of bitcoin itself.

Thx God they changed their mind.

No, Bitcoin will never die. But i can almost guarantee you that segwit won't be the last attempt at a new Bitcoin fork. This is the new "ICO' but for bitcoin miners/pools and big whales to play with. Forking BTC is free profit along with the major hype of buying into the markets.

Everyone should be in awe that the vote, voted in favor of no fork, which means there is a much bigger story going on behind the scenes than what we know of currently.
I agree bitcoin will never die ,, but with there news of segwitt cancellation I think there will be price fluctuations ,,, hopefully no mass sales happen ,, it will greatly affect the price of BTC

This coordinated attack on Bitcoin by the big blockers after peacefully calling the "truce" last week is the proof that they called off B2X not because of lack of community consensus but because of their lack of competency in delivering a viable and working B2X code.

Right, but I don't see there will be any need for forking BTC anymore because the block size increase will be implemented in BTC protocol sooner or later with community consensus. Slow and steady. If some people think this can be done in a hurry without community support, they will get rekt again.

I'm confident that the scaling issues bitcoin faces these days will be fixed in due time, I have no reason to lose faith in bitcoin core devs as they've done an excellent job maintaining bitcoin for years. Once everything is tested and confirmed working I'm sure consensus will be made for a hardfork, just HODL your horses ;)

The Segwit2x effort began in May with a simple purpose:  to increase the blocksize and improve Bitcoin scalability. At the time, the Bitcoin community was in crisis after nearly 3 years of heavy debate, and consensus for Segwit seemed like a distant mirage with only 30% support among miners.
Segwit2x found its first success in August, as it broke the deadlock and quickly led to Segwit’s successful activation. Since that time, the team shifted its efforts to phase two of the project - a 2MB blocksize increase.

Our goal has always been a smooth upgrade for Bitcoin.  Although we strongly believe in the need for a larger blocksize, there is something we believe is even more important: keeping the community together.
Unfortunately, it is clear that we have not built sufficient consensus for a clean blocksize upgrade at this time. Continuing on the current path could divide the community and be a setback to Bitcoin’s growth. This was never the goal of Segwit2x.

As fees rise on the blockchain, we believe it will eventually become obvious that on-chain capacity increases are necessary. When that happens, we hope the community will come together and find a solution, possibly with a blocksize increase. Until then, we are suspending our plans for the upcoming 2MB upgrade.

We want to thank everyone that contributed constructively to Segwit2x, whether you were in favor or against. Your efforts are what makes Bitcoin great. Bitcoin remains the greatest form of money mankind has ever seen, and we remain dedicated to protecting and fostering its growth worldwide.

I will agree with you here. This fork might happen and probably even in November. It was not the cancellation in all meaning of this word. They have suspended sewgit2x, which means the fork will take its place one day.

In as much as people a lot of people are for the bitcoin knowingly against any form of fork, but what they fail to acknowledge is that there is a problem that needs to be tackled as the argument they have always put forward is that some people are willingly attacking bitcoin by way of spamming the network but what is surprising to me is that they could not do anything about it either stopping it or making bitcoin more free from the attacks. Now we are faced with the issue of high fees where the blame is always channelled towards the miners rather than making bitcoin itself better.

Don't worry, Bitcoin Core will get properly scaled, unlike BCash which only tries to slap a bandaid on the problem and sell it as the holy grail of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Core is the only chance that we have at achieving freedom and peace within this century, and all that while being highly profitable to those who support the cause!
