Increase the block size and if Core takes to long to do it then an alternative implementation of Bitcoin will.
"IF?"
"IF?" "IF?"From where did this wild "IF" suddenly appear?
All summer long, you Gavinistas were screaming that Core has
already taken too long, and as a result Bitcoin is (for the greater profit of Blockstream) choking and dying, thus justifying
hearn@sigint.google.mil and
gavin@tla.mit.gov's governance coup.
Now that XT got fukkin' rekt, you want to backpedal to a conditional hedge?
Get your story straight, chump!

There is no conditional hedge.
Enjoy your pain.
