25 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 20h \ on: Bitcoin will inevitably be corrupted? bitcoin
No doubt there are endless scenarios to consider but I expect it to go differently, with the corrupted fork enjoying only fleeting success.
The hardcore bitcoin community will dump their forkcoin for Bitcoin and continue maintaining it.
Without their influence, the corrupting forces will continue degrading the quality of the forkcoin and more people will dump it for Bitcoin Classic.
I'd agree. I think that that is the more probable scenario.
But at the same time, I can imagine that if in the immediate aftermath of the fork, if forkcoin was worth more, then it wouldn't take long for network effects to make that insurmountable.
Diehard bitcoiners would lose financially and struggle with it immensely - they'd probably resemble BCashers - when the correction action could be to uncorrupt forkcoin.

Not really because they will still be holders of the fork coin. Just don't dump all the fork coin at a low price and you'll be fine

I wasn’t around for the Blocksize Wars but my expectation is that those of us who care the most about using bitcoin as money will cluster on one side.
Actually using it as money will make ours the winning side.
