I want to simply know.. will Bitcoin scale this year or not? will Bitcoin ever scale ? will August 1st even be of any real significance or will it be Y2K all over again (where nothing happened) ? And if Bitcoin does scale what will happen to the Litecoin (which has recently been taking some of Bitcoins gleem/shine) ?
Yes segwit2x might get activated by august this year which is one of the scaling solution supported by large community. There is no relation between litecoin and bitcoin, but I am expecting a good pump on bitcoin price when segwit2x will be activated. Litecoin also got good rise after segwit activation on litecoin network few weeks before.
