Are you sure about that? Where is your source? Last I heard they were still discussing a possible fork. At this point given how much the price is increasing it seems like it would not hurt the markets, at least. I guess we shall wait and see.

Correct the last news that I read about the subject a few days ago stated that the miners were still willing to go through the fork planned for November in the New York agreement, I really hope it does not happen but it seems they are decided to go through it and try their luck with yet another altcoin.

One hard fork already happened and bitcoincash was made. Noticed any change? I mean did it affect bitcoin badly in any possible way? Absolutely not.
At this point, it doesn't really matter anymore. Let them create more and more useless altcoins which exist only for trading.
And where did you actually read that? Because it doesn't make sense. They didn't even see whether BCC is successful or not. It should take time.

Maybe you've read about segwit2 fork in november. The special things about bitcoin are, people are waiting the pump and the dump. Why? because they think both are profit chance. When the price is rising, the profits for bitcon holder is in the bag, and when the price falling, they'll buy more bitcoin to invest like you said for a big profit later. So, I think it is not a problem if there's a fork after the august, you just need to prepare.

I would kinda like that another fork to come up. In overall it would not have such a drastic effect on price as the last one, but perhaps enough to get on a small dip and be able to profit further. We gotta be realistic. BCC has just come up and still hasn't showed anything worth it (and will not in my opinion). Today it got an increase of 30% out of nowhere. It is not showing any constant growth rates to be honest, and that does not inspire me any trust at all. But sure, if they want to go ahead with another fork, go for it. I'll be waiting

If that's the case, I think segwit2x will not have an impact on bitcoin. For example BCC, which in the report can drop the btc price, now bitcoin remains the best.

Can you please cite your source here? And why should there be another fork that will happen if the fork already happened last August 1? What would be the name of the splitted btc? Well I really believe that we should not believe on other news try to look if that source is credible. And link it here for all of us. Especially for those people that are good in determining if the source is credible.

Hi Community!
Still a few blocks for the 'technical lock-in' and we will 'probably' have Segwit in roughly 2 weeks. Does that finally end the scaling-debate? Personally I don't think so, as scaling will always remain an issue. In a couple of weeks we can celebrate the power of UASFs and Bitcoins technical progression for a short period. After that, reality will kick back in and all of us will face another big question: 2X or BTC?
The 2X part of the New York agreement states: - A large part of mining power will be taken from BTC and moved to 2X - A lot of Exchanges have agreed on exchanging 2X - A lot of wallets have agreed on supporting 2X
An important note: Bitcoin Core does NOT support 2Xhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2075297.0

Yes, I think that those people who wanted to make a new coin because of the split are now very disappointed. Their coin is not in demand and people prefer to use traditional bitcoin. Therefore, in November, no one will make another coin

SegWit 2x is only a temporary solutiong though. We're already having problems with the blocks being full the last couple of days, with high fees/very high transaction times... Segwitx2 only increases the blocksize to roughly 1.7mb... It might be sufficient for now, but how long will it take before it starts getting clogged again?
I hope the influential people behind it can find better solutions in a more efficient way going forward...

The recent upgrade is just a temporary solution and we might reach the bottle neck pretty soon ,i was really happy with the upgrade because you were able to send the coins once again with low fees but yet again the transaction times have increased which really sucked for me,as it took more than a couple of hours even with a higher fees to get my transaction through yesterday. There is a fork in November but not sure whether we will see a split at that time now but i really think there will a split yet again .

Maybe there will be another solution until there to avoid a hardfork again. If not, some changes will be made, Bitcoin will split, we will receive double coins once again and everything goes back to the normal. The hardfork isn't too bad because we earn "free coins" to make extra profit and Bitcoin becomes stronger than before. So, only advantages, right?

Since the last split seems not successful in making a new btc like that can beat btc that's why their planning a new split though it will be much better if they will just focus on improving its service in terms of number of more users added that can't handle the bulk transactions.

a fork or a split doesn't affect the bitcoin core community in fact the bitcoin core is still soaring high. i don't see any good reason why a fork or a split is necessary if we want a better Bitcoin core then it is much better to support the BTC core just like what the Blockstream did.

Let me share to you what I have read in my Ledger Wallet HW's website while I was updating my wallet's firmware. http://support.ledgerwallet.com/knowledge_base/topics/bitcoin-cash - it states here that my hardware wallet is ready for the upcoming segwit2x in November and it seems like that would increasing the block size limit from 1MB to 2MB. Honestly, I cannot tell whether it would impact BTC's price or would it play similar to what had happened in August 1st. The only thing that I am certain of is Bitcoin will continue to become popular and increase it's dollar value. I hope you guys were able to open the link.
