Why everyone are nervous for the segwit2x fork?

[chek2fire]

My question is simple.
Why anyone are nervous about the segwit2x hard fork part and not support this guys to fork off from network forever.
I dont think the fork chain will survive without skill devs and without majority of users to support it.
Will be a very risk business for the forkers to maintenance their network and to survive in long term especially without skilled developers.
In the other hand Bitcoin devs, users and everyone in bitcoin ecosystem imo must support them to fork off from network.
After their fork this silly non tech and conspiracy theories noise will go away and bitcoin will return and focus to tech innovation.
The future of bitcoin is great and will be much better without shadow characters like Jihan, Roger Ver, Garzik, Gavin, Wright.

You are right,but i don`t think that "anyone" (i quess you mean everyone) are nervous about this.
I assume that 90% of all bitcoin users are noobs who aren`t familiar with Segwit and that makes them afraid.
There will always be shadow characters who want to profit from damaging and manipulating the bitcoin community.The fork won`t make them disappear.

Can someone explain what the fork thing is? Everytime I google I find nothing...

[cold cool]

I think fork is cope.

They are all affected by the FUDs that are keep on spreading in the internet they believed that the bitcoin will get messed up after the fork and the price of bitcoin will significantly fall after the fork but that is not true because bitcoin will become more stronger because of the upgrade and the price could possibly reach to a higher price point.

There is definitely FUD going on around and a lot of newbies in bitcoin are reading it and thinking that it is a right thing so we can not blame them for being like that, but I think there are many bitcoin users that are taking precaution on the impending split that is about to happen we can not blame them too because all of us doing want to lose money that we invest in bitcoin right? and I think there are others that doesn't know how to make a secure wallet for their bitcoin that is why they will surely sell all of it or convert it to fiat.

Bitcoin bifurcation affects the value of the market and the interests of miners, so everyone will pay attention to, while bitcoin will affect other trends in virtual currencies, because bitcoin is big brother

Those who panic will lose their money. I don't believe in severe consequences for bitcoin. I'm sorry that because of this panic, whales will buy even more coins and therefore they will be easier to destabilize the price of bitcoin.

[LouVandetta]

It might be because they are afraid if segwit failed.
Also, I think lots of ppl still didn't know what is segwit and all.

Not to mention with this week's prices. Really unstable and hard to predict.

Segwit is a very extraordinary thing. Many people will be annoyed when waiting for results segwit. Whatever happens later we can not know exactly. Some say that segwit will make bitcoin prices increase and some say that bitcoin prices will decrease drastically.

[jakelyson]

Those who are afraid of the hard fork are those who are not well versed in securing their bitcoins because of the fud spreading about losing bitcoin and its value. But if you know what you are doing, you will not be affected by these fuds. I also think that segwit will bring much development in bitcoin. If it will be an effective scaling solution, it will take bitcoin to a wider mass adoption.

[steamon]

Just leave your bitcoins safe and wait for it more not to it. There will by a result from this if it's good Bitcoin will reach new heights. I am not nervous about the result its part of the evolution for the crypto market to become an adult. Market will always move up and down for speculation. Crypto currencies are here to stay.

To say that everyone is nervous and afraid of SEGWIT2X is wrong, most of us might be but not everyone. There are still people who understand all about segwit and hard fork and they aren't nervous, they know it very well that at last it's the bitcoin which has to come out as winner and it's only bitcoin which is going to stay there forever.

[Humanxlemming]

Is because they are all affected to all FUD's that have been spreading in all the time. If you're afraid that Segwit2x fork would highely success then place your btc in some altcoins that have potential to grow. But me this is just a FUD that came serious to all newbei bitcoiners

[niceli]

With the Segwit2x compromise it seems that the vast majority of the ecosystem is supporting this (depends where you are checking but it seems that 80-90% are signaling for Segwit2x). So if we see a split on August 1st I would assume it is something like 90/10 (and not 50/50 like it was feared with Segwit vs. block size) and therefore I would rather expect that the price will be rising quickly once people realize that there is no massive issue at all. Probably lots of people who panic sold their bitcoin in beforehand will try to rebuy them and will pay a higher price now.

[Frost]

I'm very worried about this activity.
Instead will made better but even make the situation worse.
Hopefully this split will not be as bad as I imagined.

[haroldtee]

I think the reason why most people are nervous is the huge drop on value the fork would cause which is not truly appealing to the ears. But who knows what would happen after the fork as there may be huge skyrocketing in price afterwards. The best is just to stay cool and hope for the best. Moreover if everything should go well, the aftermath should he a great one for us all.

The market doesn't like volatility, that is why I am nervous.

I am a fan of bitcoin, I like the principles behind it, but I also care about my money and don't want to have an improved bitcoin that costs $500, now that I am used to it being over $2000.
The split didn't do ETH any long term damage, but it could hurt Bitcoin. I think an amicable agreement from both sides resulting in one stronger chain in the future is the obvious dream scenario.

Maybe 2 strong Bitcoins are better than 1, but it is worrying, this is real money we are talking about!

The most immediate impact should be in the interests
Miners fear that segwit will harm their interests

Why everyone are nervous for the segwit2x fork?

Everyone? Are you sure? Did you check everyone's pulse?

I looking forward to this "drama", purely to see how it plays out and have fun.

Life too short to be nervous.

Fortune favours the bold.
