[2017-10-27]Hong Kong Bitcoin Community Strongly Rejects SegWit2x

The Hong Kong bitcoin community, which includes individuals, meetups, events, and organizations, has strongly rejected the SegWit2x hard fork expected to occur on November 16 later this year.

Already, apart from four companies, most of the major bitcoin service providers in Hong Kong such as Bitfinex, BitMEX, Bitspark, Gatecoin, OKCoin, and Tidebit have clarified bitcoin will remains as “BTC” after the fork, and SegWit2x will be considered as “B2X.”

At this phase of development, the Hong Kong bitcoin community is particularly concerned with the lack of community support for the SegWit2x hard fork. While many miners and businesses have signed the NYA agreement earlier this year, it has been evident from the Bitcoin Cash hard fork in August that if users and investors remain on the original bitcoin blockchain, hash power cannot decide the majority chain.

That's a good sign. As the current load shows, 2X is not needed at all. It's just another takeover attempt by centralist figures.

Great that at least some of big companies understand that its useless.
