ShapeShift - If BTU sees 95% it wins the name BTC, otherwise the original chain remains BTC -

poloniex is actually saying that if you have bitcoin in your wallet, you can withdrawn those as they are bbitcoin unlimited, this does not sound like an altcoin to me but more like having the same coins twice

this is dangerous it can certainly kill the value on both chain, since people will get coins for free

I don't think it is going to hurt the price, but the market cap is going to be splited between 2 coins.

Let's say you now have one coin worth 1100$, so after the split you will have a coin worth 700$ and a coin worth 400$, or something like that.
