The approximate date of upcoming SegWit2X was November, 16, 2016. But it canceled! And now all altcoins is really going up! To the moon

B2X cancelled  but till now i think it is only try to make bitcoin price rise


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.

You mean this coming May 2018 will be the Segwit2x of bitcoin? Segwit2x has been canceled and altcoins are pumping in 3days but i guess after that there is price correction.

Maybe the hard fork continue to happen on 16 Nov, check this:

"Mysterious Group BitPico Threatens to Execute the Bitcoin Hard Fork"

[raysa]

Cancelled/Stopped idk but i heard they will be another Hard Fork on december

[xCRYPTO]

I've heard from my friend they have continue the segwit2x so 80% of altcoins will dump again. I'm not sure if it's really true

[Gtwidris]

I've heard from my friend they have continue the segwit2x so 80% of altcoins will dump again. I'm not sure if it's really true

it's true it will happen on the same date which is 16/11/2017

Without any serious support this fork is unlikely to go anywhere. Given how such a fork would start off with BTC's current mining difficulty, but with only a fraction of the hashrate, it's likely to be abandoned rather sooner than later.

Cancelled/Stopped idk but i heard they will be another Hard Fork on december

Same goes for whatever hardfork is scheduled on December, without community support it's just yet another alt coin.

Cancelled/Stopped idk but i heard they will be another Hard Fork on december

many say it Cancelled but i see  admin here say they will back only stop project for short time

[coinspam]

Is it 100% cancelled? Because yesterday on their website it says that it's still going ahead by the minority of people involved.

Segwit2x isn't canceled it's still in progress but i don't when is exactly date. I'm still searching..

[Alartonicus]

Certainly the conditions will change. Otherwise, do not come to an agreement. Therefore there will be another hard fork

[trickyriky]

Since the question was asked before the fork was cancelled, I would like to widen it and raise another problem. The other day the information that SegWit2X will take its place despite of the cancellation.

What can happen then with alts?
Another great fall?
