can't miners just play blockage and thus stalemate? ....don't get how this can work if 30% of folk want BU..or am I just in denial about the 'inevitable' fork of BTC

Did you even read the BIP before asking questions?

This does not really need miners, especially not 95% as the BIP9 activation does. It sets a
flag day. When this day is reached, anyone running this BIP (Bitfury is already testing it) is producing Segwit blocks and this is compatible with all >0.13.1 nodes.
Did you manage to buy?

There is some *sell* pressure with a minor wall now. The order book was much thinner yesterday. Bitcoin price seems just as unpredictable as it used to be.
Would just 'justify' a BU fork in my view.....thus price of $200 buck coin....would both chains recover with that 'brand name of bitcoin' hit

Just saying if it was that easy ...why ask for 95% activation....for seg witness in the first place..just feel I missing the other shoe to fall ..seems too easy
(hope I am wrong however)
