Segwit2x....what the hell does this mean?

[JTPhotography]

I’m a noob, but I have some BTC on a hardware wallet. I understand that after the fork, Ledger will be giving me some b2x.

But what does this mean (from the b2x website):

“I promise that all BTC holders will receive not only B2X in the ratio of 1 to 1, but also a proportional number of Satoshi Nakamoto`s Bitcoins as a reward for their commitment to progress.”

The new Segwit2x team's plan is to take out Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoins and spread it out to bitcoin holders probably by percentage depending on how much bitcoin is in each's wallet. So yes, you will end up having more Segwit2x coins than your bitcoin(BTC).

i dont think you will get free B2X on your hard wallet, you have to keep your BTC on exchanges which are supporting B2X like Yobit.

No you don't. Whatever wallet you're using, you just need to import your bitcoin's private keys to a legitimate Segwit2x wallet to have access to your forked coins.

Also, Ledger will provide access to the forked coins if the code base is available as they said.

SegWit2x is back and activated. The idea to distribute Satoshi Nakamoto's B2X coins proportionally to other holders seems to be controversial - is it fair to Satoshi? It probably does not matter to Satoshi as he/she has enough bitcoins already if he/she ever wants to spend them.

Yes this is right. Everybody will have their free coin after fork also for ledger wallet holder.

Is B2X the reason the BTC just dipped everywhere but on Yobit?
I thought no one cared anymore.

when you create a fork of bitcoin, you can change literary anything that you like to change! for example you can change how bitcoin mining works by changing the algorithm. you can change the 21 million limit, the block time and size, and lots and lots more.
what they are doing is that they will invalidate some transactions and create equivalent amount in their token. they are also adding a 6 million premine b2x which nobody talks about!

but remember than any change will only work on that particular fork and will have nothing to do with bitcoin.

Well, if you are bitcoin holder then you should happy to get those free coin.
I am bolder but less than 1 bitcoin. So segwit2x is not very important for me.

It could be the one of the reasons, but not totally. Since now, Bitcoin still in "holidays" mode. Once he's done with the vacation - it will back in business again. You just need to keep hodling it
