A Bitcoin Beginner’s Guide to Surviving the BIP 148 UASF

There is a chance Bitcoin will experience a chain-split on August 1st. A segment of all Bitcoin users is committed to activate a user activated soft fork (UASF) as described in Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 148 (BIP 148). Specifically, they will reject any Bitcoin blocks that do not signal support for Segregated Witness (SegWit), the centerpiece of Bitcoin Core’s scaling roadmap.

Nonsense, LCG! All major wallets will follow the longest chain as the longest chain is Bitcoin. The valid Bitcoin chain is the chain with the most proof of work (hashrate). Any minority chain resulting from a UASF will be an altcoin so there's no need to install a BIP 148 wallet at all, unless interested in that altcoin.
