Heard from my colleague today that the bitcoin fork has been called off. Is it a temporary decision? Do you think it will be back? what's the possible impact on bitcoin prices ?
Just came back from my day job. posted for expert views on this topic.
Bitcoin fork has been called of and it ain't a temporary decision. It has been called of because of lack of concencus from the community according to coindesk. Probably they won't even dare to propose it again unless they will improve the tech of segwit2x itself. This will probably make the price of bitcoin to stabilize at it's current levels, and the probability of a dump decreased because there won't be a replay attack on bitcoin that is expected to be caused by b2x.
