[Bitcoin-segwit2x] August Status Report for SegWit2x

[Jared Lee Richardson]

More total-chain Proof of work, and higher market cap?  Yes, BCH would
become Bitcoin.  Not overnight or instantly, and not based on hashing
power alone or price alone.  Sorry that you don't like how network
effects work, but that's how it goes.

The core developer team has been rejecting measurable consensus for
1.5 years now, and providing users with only one option - Theirs.  If
Core wishes to continue to reject measurable consensus, they are free
to do so, but if they wish to both reject measurable consensus and
have replay protection, they will need to add it themselves.

Given that 90%+ of miners are currently signaling support for it, and given that most of the large Bitcoin companies have done similarly, there is a strong argument the SegWit2x chain will just be known as Bitcoin, and the legacy chain will earn some other name, like Bitcoin Classic or similar.
