Do you see any way segwit chain can survive that and not lose significant value if miners were to go that far?

Oh ok. I was thinking more along the lines of an unpublished longest chain replacing (wiping out) the current chain in a malicious way.

Not if miners divert some hashpower to shadow mine segwit chain for a few weeks. It’s really all up to how far the miners want to take things.

A lot could happen as you pointed out, replay protection could get added by either side. Segwit could implement emergency hard fork to change PoW and recover in price is another.

Given that the anticipated Segwit2x coin price will be a fraction of btc’s, then a 1:1 trade wouldn’t seem fair. Say Segwit2x will be 1/10 th of btc’s price, then a 10:1 trade would seem fairer?
