There is a reason that segwit2x is pretty much unanimously rejected by<br>

you&#39;ll continue to see a strong correlation with people who are<br>

predicated on discarding those properties.<br>

As far as prevent a chain split goes, all those things<br>
(148/91/segwit2x(per today)) effectively guarantee a chainsplit-- so I<br>
don&#39;t think that holds.<br>
