This Bitcoin matter is scary. First you got the miner camps who literally bold face show they want full control, so far as to threaten users with a divided coin of 2 Bitcoins if they don't get their way. Then we have this option of Soft Fork which could help but miners won't let that happen clearly. In the end what I expect, same as always...a lot of talk and no action, that has been the way for 2 years now. So many Segwit proposals have come and gone in those 2 years and right now I just don't see this being different.
I guess we just have to keep tabs, prepare and maybe back a side coin. I am on Litecoin but boy does Bitpay need to add that into their system
