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.
