So he's got some coins - he speaks for the community no more than Gavin/Hearn do.

"Some coins?"

Is that your subtle yet snotty way of conceding MPEX and associated #btc-a folk most probably do in fact posses far more economic influence than Team Gavin?

Or are you counting on Hearn's buddies at google.mil to throw some freely printed central bank fiat at the bloat-fork?

If so, you do realize the leverage provided by the Gavincoin Short mechanism provides MP & Co with commanding heights and a downhill battle, right?

"the community?"

Didn't we just agree the fork's fate will be decided by power, not (up)votes? Huh

Let's pretend MP and the core devs are vanquished by the Gavinista insurgency:

Now we all have XP, like it or not.

Then something breaks at 3am. Who is going to fix it? The spurned former core devs? Gavin the Economist? Mike 'Let's reduce fees by 10x and induce crapfloods' Hearn?

Or do you imagine Gavin can simply post to r/bitcoin and crowdfund some new devs via Mechanical Turk and Fiverr?

Putting your coins on the longer chain won't save them, if that chain's blocks are invalid. We just learned that lesson with BIP66.
