yes i'm thinking the same thing two chains side-by-side will be EXCELLENT for everyone !
~ keep calm and BTC ;-) *eZ^$$$

Short term gain for a long term loss?

If 2 chains side by side occurs , bitcoin as we know is dead. No one will touch it.

There can't be 2 chains. if that happens everyone will be leaping off of Bitcoin in a real hurry. This situation is doing no good for bitcoin. I'm a bitcoin believer, but even soI believe that another coin will overcome Bitcoin before we know it.

Exactly this! I kind of believe that if we do end up with 2 Blockchain's, Bitcoin will never again be the same and we would lose a lot of our future potential. People would lose confidence, precedent would be set and Bitcoin would just never be the same.

Now is this possible? Absolutely. As Meni said it nicely, people have already used to throughout their history on destroying much of the great things because of their human characters, egos etc..

Lets hope we will never end up with 2 Bitcoins.
