This is a fucking disaster. 2 coins are surviving for a long time now, they are even in huge exchanges together like Poloniex, and solid developers are joining the project too.
Idiots like Brian Amrstrong saying that they were sure the fork would disappear quick and 2 coins would not survive together... well guess what, you morons are WRONG. Now you have 2 fucking coins to worry about, good luck with that. Meanwhile in Bitcoin we stick together with the best team (Core) that has been delivering the best code for years now. We will never be subjected to his amateurism. Bitcoin lives on as the king and haters are as salty as ever. Let's keep on winning.
excellent points.
there was a time -at the start of the arguments for increasing bitcoin block size- that I was mad why don't they just fork it and get it over with. but I read a very good topic with arguments about this issue on reddit that helped me understand why it is a terrible idea to just jump in and change things without everybody on board. and now this is the living proof for all those arguments back then.
this really shows the power of bitcoin and the developers team and the community it has over a pump and dump altcoin with no (decent) developer and a community that doesn't even support the blockchain by running a full node and every single one of them are either holding their coins at exchanges or in online wallets.
