There's a lot of "if's" that get us in this scenario, and a hard fork is always a last resort option, if we get there. It would, however, be in everyone's interest to try to turn down the temperature, before some crisis arises.
Discussion
i'm waiting for the day that shareholders of IBIT or MSTR can vote on:
a) bitcoin is file storage
b) bitcoin is money
since those companies have the 2 biggest stacks, they choose the winner in the eventual fork by dumping the other.
Only for the short term.
yes. i think you're right.
in the long run the high road will win. but it could take a few years more if IBIT dumped the it for the shitcoin version. 40 more years wandering in the wilderness? ---i don't think this is happening, just having fun catastrophizing
I think it sorts itself out within a year
Agreed on all points
