The hard fork that is part of SegWit2x isn't something you can put aside so easily.

I am a not entirely confident either. In the near short term, people will completely forget/discard this potentially upcoming hard fork (I say potentially because things might not play out as expected in the end), and thus completely lose themselves in the hype of having finally witnessed the activation of SegWit. In the same way people were shocked about seeing the price dump well below the $1900 level some days ago, they will be equally surprised when the price starts tanking prior to the potential hard fork -- people are too dumb to spot and calculate potential risks. That's how it has always been.

I actually felt like people were quite level headed about the recent dump. The alt coiners got a bit of a reality check when Bitcoin took most of the alts down with it, but apart from that people didn't seemed to fazed. I personally was more shocked by the fast and fairly stable recovery tbh.
