The price may be increasing once again and people realizing that this could happen without a chain split but guess what, we will see panic in November when the block size part comes in and on that time, It will be just another opportunity to buy and accumulate more bitcoins in your wallet.

The block size part could easily go through without a hitch unless some of the miners cause melodrama, but why should they, after all agreeing to segwit2x

Think only risk for hard fork is someone dumping BitcoinBTC1 and buying BitcoinCore instantly after the hardfork for a few hours when there will be little volume on the exchanges and getting a load of headlines that BitcoinCore is worth more than BitcoinBTC1 - at which point some less committed miners start switching from BTC1 back to Core....

I expect BitcoinCore 0.14.3 to be compatible with the larger blocks of BitcoinBTC1. Core devs wouldn't try to make people use a wallet that will be on a fork with no hash rate at all...

Agree - the miner support now is nearly 95% if you include those signalling /NYA/ - at which point a hardfork is very safe - especially if BitcoinCore got behind it as that would drag the user base with it - and that would allow them to retain their control of the codebase - just with a slight bloody nose. Am sure as soon a 2Meg block happens BTC1 will shutdown with a job-done sign.
