keep my BTC in the Ledger Nano S during Segwit fork, or not?

Will I receive Segwitx2 coin then, or do I have to move them, if so, where?

Segwit 2x is gone … So you can't get any coins.

since keeping your bitcoin in Ledger Nano can be a safe choice and also since you control the private keys that means you can potentially get any new coin that is created because of a fork too. (bitcoin gold, segwit2x, ....) as long as you have coins before the fork.

Segwit 2x is gone … So you can't get any coins.
it is not gone 100% though.

The fork on the 16th is only cancelled, but further developments for S2X might continue meaning the initiative isn't completely gone. Besides, should the network need any scaling solutions in the near future, the team mentioned they'd be happy to resume their efforts in working a plausible solution for all.

Just keep your coins as is or where you think they'd be safe. No forks will happen anytime soon and the best thing you can do in the mean time is to keep it safe.

I would keep them in the Ledger. Safe from malicious attacks.
the fork will not (99% sure) happen, and if it did, you still control your private keys.

Don't worry about the segwit anymore, as I know it's cancelled already so you can keep your Bitcoin in everywhere you want just need it to be safe and ledger nano S is the most secure Bitcoin wallet for now so it'll be fine if you're going to keep your Bitcoin in this wallet.

Man , you're late. Rigid forks fortunately will not. I pity the people who bought futures on the B2X.
