No one is calling B2X Bitcoin except for a very small vocal minority. Almost every other exchange/company has released a statement saying BTC will remind as the core chain.

They have released statements saying that Bitcoin will be whatever chain has the most accumulated proof of work. Based on all available information right now that is going to be S2X.

Either you're intentionally lying or you haven't spent enough time outside of the highly censored /r/bitcoin subreddit. Here's my evidence and it's straight from Bitcoin core's site.

Check the list on the bottom. If that doesn't prove to you that the overwhelming majority of businesses and users are upgrading the network via segwit2x, you're a lost cause.

Signaling does not mean they will necessarily be upgrading. Let's take a look at the dropout rate shall we? http://segwit.party/nya/

And before resorting to underhanded insults (you're a lost cause) I'd do some research ;). Cheers.

Sorry about that. It's really difficult to tell the difference between a professional troll and an honest person with a genuine difference of opinion. It's been a tough few years for every Bitcoin believer.

What I got from the statement is:

1) Keep Bitcoin in core wallet, Electrum, etc.

2) Avoid exchanges, online wallets, etc, especially those implementing the hard fork.

3) Don't do transactions just before, or just after, the fork.
