Can upcoming Segwit2x destabilize BTC in the long run? And do you expect some price volatility with that?
I think the worst case scenario would happen when 3rd Bitcoin will emerge. I don't think it will be healthy for our crypto ecosystem.
What would most likely happen, and my hope, is the miners will "follow the money". Meaning if the users are not willing to adopt it, then the miners will not follow too.
You are right. Another split in the blockchain is possible. But the worst case scenario would be caused by the fact that there is no replay protection coded in Segwit2x.
People like to spread FUD saying that there will be some sort of crash with price. Similar things have been said before 1st August and BTC actually went bullish up to 5k.
Do you believe this upgrade will push Bitcoin to 10.000$ levels?
It depends.
