Yes, if all goes according to plan, we will hard fork/upgrade Bitcoin by issuing 21 million BTC on a private ledger. Our fee is Bitcoin previously burned i.e. counterparty offering. I'm proposing 1:1 trade in on a peg to a final burn address. This will save Bitcoin technically and enable miners to keep going and keep trading in. I proposed this because I see the banks configuring to adapt Ripple's technology. The mainstream could shift away from Bitcoin.
Providence's success does not depend on this upgrade.
