Today in Bitcoin (2017-07-09) - Your thoughts about Segwit2X

Yesterday I asked you what you thought about the New York Agreement and the Segwit2x proposal and you sure let me know.

On steemit you responded:

Writewords is becoming more and more skeptical about the proposal

Meanwhile Wintermute questions Charlie Lee’s reasons, but agrees it’s a serious issue.

And agcrypt thinks it’s just damned if you do, damned if you don’t

Over on Youtube, we had more than 49 comments

With the 21 Million Club advising against “experimenting with 20-30 billion dollars”

Farher-azi says that only Segwit can save bitcoin

Mark Finelli calls Segwit2x Paypal 2.0

While Mr Axe0r believes the UASF will activate.

coin city believes we need both on chain and offchain scaling

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our discussion. I’d say the discussion was mainly in favor of segwit, wary of Segwit2x and it’s short development time, but there are some who do support it and thanks to them for sharing their views as well.

It’s been a lot of fun doing the Today in Bitcoin show on the MadBitcoins channel, but we’ve got a big announcement -- Starting Monday - the Today in Bitcoin show will be moving to the World Crypto Network. The same daily news you know and love, soon with much much more. More information about this announcement in the MadBitcoins video that I’ll release shortly after this show. Thanks so much for watching and please subscribe to the World Crypto Network. I hope to see you all there on Monday!

The price of Bitcoin was down a little more than 2% in the last 24 hours, with a last of 2493, a high of 2555 and a low of 2488.
