How many bitcoinds do you think there will be at the end of the year?
Even if there is a fork, I don't see the weaker alt surviving till the end of the year.

So I guess, there will be just one
Bitcoin at the end of the year. And ~17 million
bitcoins.
damn, you win the prize for morphological correctness.
yes that should be quite long enough to kill off the alt
I don't know. Ethereum Classic is still going strong after the Ethereum Foundation tried their best to dump it to oblivion.
It'll be somewhat related to people's principles. The BIP148 fanboys are mostly all talk/no walk, and I expect that to drop pretty low. Whether or not it'll still exist though is a different question.
Who knows, maybe there could be end up being three. The original, the BIP 148 coin and a third coin which implements some crap like SegWit + 2mb.
