Very informative post here.

Do you guys have a guess on the behavior of bitcoin price after the hard fork?

In the case of 75% vs. 25% (i.e. split) -> negative effect (how much is debatable and speculation).
In the case of a high consensus threshold (95% maybe) -> neutral/slightly negative or positive effect.

if everyone is as close minded about this as you are i wish bitcoin a lot of luck for the future.
i like bitcoin, but it has flaws that needs fixed.. hence this thread..

and i cant see how fixing the transaction confirmation time is an "impossible feature" really.. if it took you an hour to get your money from the atm nobody would use them?

No. Segwit fixes flaws, a block size increase with Classic does nothing. The transaction "confirmation time" won't be "fixed" and is an impossible feature. If we start changing such fundamental rules we might as well move to another currency. Transacting money takes about a second. Confirmation time is something else and is usually 10 minutes per confirmation.
