I'm going to call it now, segwit2x will be responsible for activating segwit at last due to overwhelming miner support, BUT great thanks to James Hilliard for introducing them to BIP91 which makes segwit2x compatible with the other segwit activations.
Watch this for the very rapid rise in segwit2x support that will happen fast now:

Segwit may well get a miner activated soft fork before BIP148's UASF which remains in limbo in terms of meaningful support but seems to have had the desired effect of forcing miners' hands in one way or another.
What happens after segwit though is a mystery, but there is enough miner hashrate support for 2MB that it might happen too.
very lolworthy that Hilliard is 1. a core dev. 2. works for 'bitmainwarranty' (not bitmain but still!)I'm going to call it now, segwit2x will be responsible for activating segwit at last due to overwhelming miner support, BUT great thanks to James Hilliard for introducing them to BIP91 which makes segwit2x compatible with the other segwit activations.

but 3. wrote this bip91 to tie segwit in, to 'both' parties' satisfaction
miners' signalling has for the moment no real effect. the dates to watch are 14-21 July.
bitmain (viaBTC) may then later hard fork to make this chinacoin, which imnvho may have a little value as an altcoin
so, if there's any correlation to price with all this, sideways for ~4 weeks, then more likely than not blast off
