Hello, my question is about segwit2x. I read on a topic that would increase the value of the taxes but this does not seem to make much sense. How an improvement can increase fees?


Yeah.. whatever you are saying does not make any sense...  and furthermore, newbie, the fact that you are framing segwit2x as a supposed "improvement" goes to show that you are either a troll or getting your (mis)information from r/btc like sources.  In sum, segwit2x is not an "improvement," it is an attack on the network because it is neither necessary nor supported by a mere minority of the community... maybe a minority that has BIG mouths, an ability to bring in disinformation and an ability to muster up a variety of anti-bitcoin folks, who only suggest that they are attempting to "help" bitcoin when they have no such productive intention.. there intention seems to be merely attack and emotional and self-absorbed rather than really considering the benefits of consensus developments, such as the addition of segwit in and of itself.
Well, I just called it an "improvement" because that's how them call it (BIP 91). I believe that second layer blockchain would scale Bitcoin in short and medium period. I just make that question because i read that on a thread that segwit2x is supposed to increase fees.

You are continuing to not make sense.  Segwit2x is a proposed renegade attack.  BIP91 passed and allowed bitcoin to incorporate segwit by consensus, and there is nothing near consensus regarding the 2x part ... so attempts to force 2x without consensus remains a renegade attack.  Who knows or cares about whether fees are going up because of a renegade attack that is likely to fail, our current status in bitcoin seems to be that fees have gone down and continue to go down after the implementation of segwit, and also transaction times have gone down too.  The only reason fees and transaction times have gone up in recent times, seems to have been when spam attacks are occurring by the same follks who are employing spam attacks.. and the same folks who are circulating nonsense.. like the nonsense that you seem to be spewing in your supposed genuine questions.
