if core stays, XT will be a distant bad memory very quickly.
I concur. If people stay with Core (a solution is implemented), the XT will be forgotten along with Gavin and Hearn.
You don't think they'll be welcomed back with open arms do you?
Face it, Mike & Gavin are Bitcoin history at this point, a footnote at that.
Caution: Don't count either one of them out. Hearn in particular is like some sort of a zombie from a horror show who has kept popping up for the 4 years that I've been following things with one shitty idea after another about how to destroy Bitcoin. Just like in real life, many people have either very poor memories or are to lazy to research history. Or are wierd shill-like creatures which at this point I find a pretty compelling hypothesis to explain some of the participants here.
