Antpool and other Chinese mining groups announced that they have begun to signal support for the SegWit2x protocol, a scalability proposal agreed to in New York by key players in the blockchain ecosystem.

Over the last few days both the community and the markets have been agitated by the possible solutions that will be implemented to scale the Bitcoin network, given the uncertainty as to what these measures will lead to, amid a heated debate that originated more than 2 years.

Although large groups of companies have joined together around the SegWit2x proposal, there is still no widespread agreement with other ecosystem participants, so there is a strong risk that the network will forcibly fork, creating 2 and up to 3 different cryptones . All proposals involve the activation of SegWit, but the difference lies in the new measures that can be activated in the near future, such as expanding the size of blocks to 2mb, 4mb or 8mb

Regardless of the decisions taken by network participants, users are strongly advised to keep their bitcoins in their personal portfolios and not in exchange bureaus, to avoid loss of funds due to accidents, theft, cyber attacks, be aware of the abundant Information that will run these days and avoid doing transactions in days close to August 1.
