Exchanges have already stated they'll list a contentious fork, no doubt they'll be delighted to list something that isn't the child of strife. If it really is superior to its daddy then the market will naturally migrate with no risks to anyone or anything.
emphasis contentious fork.
but what if BU has consensus..
.. remember BU has been around for 2 years and has set no agenda to split or do things contentiously. otherwise they would have.
also even when being offered by cores overlord and CTO gmaxwell to split officially, the community that want diverse opn dcentralsied onchain base block growth said no to him.
so although the core fanatics keep screaming about contentious forks, the only way it will happen is if core trigger it... which they seem to be planning on (UASF + PoW algo change)
which
if there was a CONTENTIOUS FORK (meaning controversial which then triggers core to open up their ban hammer) bu would be treated as the alt by not having majority..
but
if consensus occurs (the thing BU have in mind all along..) with BU having majority.. core actually becomes the altcoin.
bitfinex actually went into deeper detail
core having minority core = BCC
BU having minority bu=BCU
