The longest proof of work chain is the consensus mechanism.

You keep spreading this falsehood. While it is not exactly wrong, it's not perfectly right either.

Not really. "the longest chain" is ambiguous. It should really be "the longest valid chain", and then you need to define which coin's concept of "validity" you're using. Every client follows the longest valid chain - that's precisely how they decide which chain to follow.

So assuming the question is "will my node follow the longest valid Bitcoin chain?", then the answer is "no" for XT once BIP101 is activated. At that point XT stops following the longest valid Bitcoin chain and starts following the longest valid XT chain, whereas the answer is "yes" for Bitcoin.

who gives a shit ?

bitcoin simply IS

we are at the bottom.

buy buy buy!!!!!!
