So how big of a deal is Bitcoin XT? I read threads, some say "Bitcoin will never fork unless it's needed, the only time it will actually create a block over the size of 1mb is if there is 75% concensus plus a giant strand of transactions that exceeds the 1mb block size", and that sounded pretty damn sensible -

BUT THEN, I see a bunch of FUDing/Fear Mongering/Fox Newsing/Mike Hearnsing/Fake Satoshi Nakamotoing/Bitcoin XT'ing/NotBitcoin XT'ing/Premature Forkings/Premature Fuckings/alot of HODL & MOON talk/ and the occasional scam accusation/link leading to a virus.

So please - Tell me:

Bitcoin XT - What is the Best Case Scenario & Worst Case Scenario - Is there any chance it could ruin bitcoin, and @ what percentage do you place the possibility it turns out ugly?

NotBitcoin XT - Is this the only reason Bitcoin XT nodes are rising? What are the chances of a premature fork, and what are the chances of it completely ruining trust in the bitcoin infrastructure? Is this something to even worry about/put on the radar? Seems pretty scary to me, man.

I am more economically minded and have no clue what half of what going on actually means for the bitcoin ecosystem, so if someone could explain, that would be fantastic, as I think alot of us Noobies would be very appreciative of a more direct answer to the current situation.

Thank you, hope you enjoyed my ramblings.
