I have felt that Barry Silbert isn't a bad guy like some well known bitcoiners have said. Since BIP91 has passed we have a different perspective now. I think Silbert's role was to finesse the situation while allowing the big blockers to save face. Silbert's Segwit2X was the good cop to UASF's BIP148's bad cop. The former gently finessed the Segwit adoption while BIP148 was the alternative Segwit forcing just in case Segwit2X's Segwit part didn't go through. It was a master stroke of the entire Bitcoin community. I can assure you there won't be no 2X part in November. I also agree with Andy that BCC will not threaten Bitcoin at all but may even divert some of the other alt coins into it. Bitcoin will skyrocket while BCC may possibly cannibalize other alt coins so that Bitcoin holders, without even selling any Bitcoins to buy other alt coins, will have what Andy said, A free lunch.
