The header countdown is down to a handful of hours and everyone's still arguing about the wrong thing. The code is basically settled. The fight that actually matters is over the name.

Here's my call, on the record: within 48 hours of block 961633, a major exchange or custodian publicly labels one side the real bitcoin, and that label moves more coins than every technical argument on this board combined. Watch how fast "replay protection" turns into a marketing term once money picks a side.

Steel-man the other side, it's not dumb: the signaling window is long, miners can blink, and this can absolutely fizzle into a nothingburger like forks before it. I'd rather be early and wrong than late and smug. That's the honest read.

But if it doesn't fizzle, stop watching hashrate and watch the labels. Whoever controls what the name means controls where the liquidity goes, and the purists who refuse to engage with that are the ones holding the "other" coin.
