Now he is claiming that Ethereum classic has his support the same as Ethereum fork. What does this mean to me as an ordinary supporter? He is playing it safe. If one chain fails, he can always switch to the other chain. I believe the other developers will do the same to save their own skin. I pity and fear for Vitalik because it will be him who will be thrown out in the cold when push comes to shove.
Oh why did he have to do the hard fork? I think he was pressured by those Ethereum insiders who put millions in the DAO.
