The way I understand it, BTC will know it's future / fate on 21st July ... from bitcointalk...
It looks like the biggest uncertainties will be resolved this Friday, July 21st. With far above 80% support for SegWit2x, August 1st should not matter anymore (as BIP 148 will not trigger).
Awesome. I sincerely hope that is the case. Although I am not sure that really solves anything.
I am not a fan of Segwit2x .... with some sidechain designs (I use that term loosely) and other technologies patented to corporates and individuals I believe this is NOT in the spirit of blockchain or Bitcoin.
