It seems that Bitcoin is going to be quite a bit stronger after this particular fight.

I recall several months ago, possibly in July or August 2015 when the various XT and Classic proponents were initially setting forth various blocksize limit increase proposals, that were really coups in disquise of some supposed necessary technical fix.

Some of us were likely caught off guard by the initial proposals because on their face they seemed "reasonable."

In some sense, we are lucky that many of the pushers of this XT/Classic agenda were not crafty enough to tricking various core developers or miners into believing that either the unnecessary technical fix was needed or that a change in Bitcoin's governance would be a good thing.

Likely core supporters and a variety of other folks in the community are more aware now of some of these kinds of coup potentials (which are likely to be attempted again... but maybe enough awareness has been raised to show coup attempts for the phoniness of what they are - which seem to be attempts to undermine bitcoin and to cause it to be easily malleable - which would have taken away from bitcoin's main contributory feature, and that is censorship resistance.......).

GO BITCOIN... and to the moon!!!!!!
