> But core devs asked for it to be done in two steps: first segwit, then segwit2x (segwit with double block size). Bitcoin Core developers did not ask for that. By the way, Segwit2x was entirely unrelated to segwit. The name was adversarially chosen to cause maximum confusion like this. > But when came the time to implement the second part of the deal (segwit2x), core devs decided it was not needed anymore Segwit2x wasn't a "deal" that Bitcoin Core developers entered into. Segwit2x was a proposal that was strongly rejected by the community. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support
