RE: Will bitcoin's fade be good news for altcoins?

The issue with the 2xHF is that they are not implementing replay protection, so anyone selling these coins risks losing their btc as well. Risky move. However, this HF has the possibility of splitting the community. Lets hope its uneventful like the previous forks.

    2x hardfork is a complicated one to deal with. But I wonder, was it not necessary to increase block size?

    That is what has split the community. Some say that the implementation of Segwit is enough without the 2x HF. Segwit has effectively doubled block size which will buy breathing space. The development of the lightning network should address future scaling issues. Others say 2x is needed.

    Thanks for the clarification and a bit more light on the argument which divides the community. In that case; I would speculate the segwit2x team are pushing their own agendas. I'll try to read up a bit more on the fork when I get the chance.
