RE: Bitcoin Scaling Debate in a Nutshell
It seems people have been slow to catch up with recent developments. Segwit2x support by the miners is being done through Bip 91, which IS compatible with Bip 148. Given today's hashrate, we are on a trajectory to see no fork in August. Bip 91 is in fact considered a workable solution by the majority of core developers. People are still reporting old news regarding Segwit 2x because the implementation method has changed since May.
One attribute of Bitcoin is just how open the development discussion is. This causes unqualified people to speculate and spread misinformation. Here is some information from a qualified developer that is fairly easy to digest:

Thanks andyatcrux! reports have been quite conflicted over segwit2x and its safety.
Agreed. It is difficult to suss out. Sometimes going right to the source of the discussion helps to ascertain things.

Sources like Cointelegraph will always be several days behind. Anyhow, I appreciate your efforts to keep people informed.
