First of all, what is BIP 91 or Segwit2x?
Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 91 and Segregated Witness (the second version) are the answers. BIP 91 is a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal proposed by Bitmain Warranty engineer James Hilliard. Basically it is in compliance with the New York Agreement and backed by a number of big mining pools and Bitcoin companies . It is also compatible with other Bitcoin Improvement Proposals as well.
Segwit2X which I explain below, is like the original Segwit program with a little kick!


Whoooah... ok thanks we think, ummm BTP, Segwiz aaand New York?? What does that all mean Digger?
Oook well, the miners have signaled and its locked in that Bitcoin is going to go with BIP 91 or Segwit2X. So what's going to happen is that the 1MB (Megabyte) Bitcoin transaction blocks that get sent (actual Bitcoin transactions {yup, just like the one John sends Sue} that are getting verified by miners all over the world in real time) are going to have extra space freed up within the block that will allow for a lot of benefits to Bitcoin. They'll do this by basically cutting and shifting some of the info from inside that transaction block into a separate smaller linked block, in turn allowing the 1MB block to not be so crammed full of data, which allow for benefits like; faster transaction times, more secure transactions themselves and cheaper fees which to all of us = Total Awesomeness!!!!!
Then down the road (this time I am not sure on but I believe its between two weeks and two months?) there will be a decision made and a potential a hard fork is up if 100% of the miners dont agree, which means there could end up being two Bitcoins (kinda like Ethereum and Ethereum classic)
And IMHO that could potentially just makes things messy...


Alrighty then, but how can adding another block speed transaction times up and do all these other good things?
Mmm ok well, there's only one way to put this one and its probably not the most delicate. I saw it posted somewhere in my research and cant remember when or where or who said it, but think about poop... one giant poop will clog the toilet right, but two smaller poops will go down the pipe easier LOL That there really sums it up in probably its most simplistic (and crude) form :D BUT think about it, its makes complete sense if you interpret the bitcoin system like the tubes in the toilet, and the poops being like the Bitcoin transactions.



Ok then Digger, what do we do about this now?
I heard a piece of advice from someone earlier in a discord chat, and that is to HODL... Hold everything and just hang tight. Don't go chasing [FUD[(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt) or chancing big trades and doing crazy last minute things because no one knows what's going to happen with all of this, its all soo unpredictable and the potential outcomes are still very radical in nature. Again all IMHO but, sounds legit :)
Hang in there, I think what you're going to see, in what's going to seem like no time at all, will be some wild times in the crypto game, we just have to play the waiting game :D
In the meantime try as best you can to just HOOOOOOOOLD. I plan on holding everything I have as of now, and just waiting. FYI I hold a little of the following coins: STEEM, ANS, STRAT, LBC, SIA, EDG, XRP, MOON and PTOY and I'm going to sit tight with all of them.
