RE: Why I Think Bitcoin is Still Undervalued
I agree with most of your points, but I am concerned about this one:
"5. Segwit 2X:
It seems likely that Segwit 2X will now pass. This won't solve the scaling issues forever but will help."
I just wrote an article on why, which I'll link below (apologies for the self-promotion), but to paraphrase, SegWit2x will not do much to help scaling or fees compared to even a modest block size increase (which Satoshi expressly suggested), it may be difficult or impossible to remove later, and the real intent of it is to "create off-chain transactions" which literally violate the Bitcoin white paper.

Here's some r/btc threads relevant on scaling:

This thread notes skepticism we'll even see the 2x part, which I share to some degree:

Interesting. Thanks I will check out those links!
@lexiconiica Totally agree abput negative effect of Segwit It could help to split interest in original Bitcoin and gain control over transactions in the future to third party
