Bitcoin Segwit2x hard fork (NYA agreement) is due in next month. Miner support right now seems to be over 90% in last 1000 blocks but dropping to about 80% in last 144 blocks.

Miner signaling for this NYA agreement can be observed from https://xbt.eu/ and https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/blocks/

Futures market for BT2/BTC can be found here: https://www.bitfinex.com/order_book/bt2btc

Futures market does seem interesting because Segwit2x bitcoin seems to be trading only at 0.11 btc. That would indicate that the support for this hard fork is not so widespread.

EDIT: This site lists companies that did not sign or dropped from the NYA (aka B2X or SegWit2x) : http://nob2x.org/

What are your thoughts about this hard fork? Is it going to be realised or abandoned? Are you going to make any measures to safeguard your bitcoins beforehand?
