Thanks for your insight, very good points. The future is definitely uncertain. Regardless, there is already looking to be 3 versions of bitcoin, possibly 4 if Core and Segwit2x become separate chains that both still continue to operate.

It's good to get this information out so people can make their own decision and investigate it further. I'm sure others can find more information than I can! Check out the posts I posted here in the comments, some strange emails from some segwit devs.

Also, in THIS POST on STEEMIT, obviously from a Segwit2x Dev, who is trying to push Segwit2x clearly says:

"Segwit2x does not aim to be best possible technical solution to solve Bitcoin technical limitations."

Why would Segwit2x not aim to be the best possible technical solution? That's pure rubbish! Sounds like a takeover to me.
