All this forking and random nonsense is merely a diversion from normal affairs weakening bitcoin's integrity, and you kids are falling into the currency opponents hands.
franky1 don't dispute, you know as well as I that BU would and will never happen, no fork as a matter of fact. Yes there's "no one forcing anyone" but yet that's all these kids have been talking about these past few days. It has been catalyzed by something...
I agree, this just casts clouds over bitcoin's popularity and causes real stress over the current users. This are the reason why people moved a way from bitcoins for a moment and boosted the prices of alt-coins. Now I think they are flocking back into bitcoins and that is why we see a great drop in most altcoins nowadays.
