More and more and more actors from the NYC agreement are dropping like flies. Now we have BTCC out of the agreement. Along with f2pool, this is a big chunk of hashrate that segwit2x lost. Bitfury will also potentially not be mining segwit2x. This would be the nail in the coffin, not even considering Bitcoin Core 0.15 is comming out soon which everyone will upgrade to.
With segwit2x out of the picture, we can hit $10,000 easily during 2018, so hold on to your coins and stop falling for the government ban nonsense.
Regardless of the outcome of Segwit2x we have a pretty good shot at achieving $10,000 per coin next year. The pumps seem to keep coming and are probably going to continue to be this way until next year, at least.
The government bans don't really affect bitcoin at all. It'll affect altcoins mainly, since it is based on ICOs.
