Im on the decision of taking profit right now and convert my btc into fiat because i am really afraid of august 1, but after reading all the post here i am convince that many people here are being optimistic and see bitcoin will surely rise after the said downfall, and now i realized that the bip148 will surely helps us to make the fees low and for a faster transaction.
If BIP148 is gonna happen. According to this article, (link:
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/countdown-segwit-these-are-dates-keep-eye/) segwit2x will activate segwit first in July 25 though BIP 91 minimizing the risk of chain split if they follow the agreement in New York thus, BIP 148 will not activate. and since more than 80% of the hash rate are in support on segwit2x although intentional the real signalling is July 21. it seems that miners is in support of segwit after all.
Actually, Miners have very little choice here whether they support SegWit or not.
