Support for the Bitcoin portfolio for SegWit2x is already a talking point because different plans may mean that users lose Bitcoins.
Breadwallet's response to a user's request for the November SegWit2x hard fork demonstrates the ease with which Bitcoin novice owners may inadvertently have their holdings downgraded.
"We are excited about SegWit," the answer says, "and we'll be sure to update the community [...] when we can ship SegWit transactions."
The news confirms comments from Breadwallet president Aaron Voisine, who earlier this month wrote on Reddit:
"Breadwallet follows most of the hash power in the original PoW algorithm, SegWit2x or in, it follows Nakamoto's consensus."
The implications for this lie in the fact that users with coins in the original Blockchain BTC run the risk of losing if Breadwallet chooses to support SegWit2x transactions.
Against the lack of clear information aimed at non-technical users, the issue of another hard fork may result in their alienation.
"After the hard fork in November, Breadwallet is potentially making SegWit2x transactions, in which case you risk losing your BTC by staying in Bitcoin Blockchain," says another comment on Reddit in response to Voisine.
"Get your BTC from Breadwallet before hardfork".
In the wider context of a likely bifurcation of Bitcoin, SegWit2x is dividing industry opinion.
While some commentators warn that the event is similar to a "hostile takeover" of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Core tried last week to dispel several myths associated with the concept.
