whatever it is, bitcoin is looking set to get segwit activated through soft fork.
the hard fork to 2MB looks very not convincing, not only the code is not properly reviewed, and a bit rush. But with such a huge network, without backward compatibility is always a bad idea, unless it is absolutely needed, and definitely need a more careful detailed plan than segwit2x is currently doing. But segwit 2x is definitely a good way to resolve current tension between different parties.

2MB may prove to be a very short-term solution. Looking at the growth in the number of users, I have to say that within the next 12 months, the increased 2MB block size will also prove to be inadequate.

What growth? Look at the mempool, most of the time it's far from full. Transactions are cheap. It's only when the mempool gets spammed out of nowhere that people cry about bitcoin. Ver and co spam the network to get the big block narrative going and confuse noobs into thinking increase the blocksize is a must now or else we'll die. Bollocks.
