Stratis breeze wallet is very much involve with the bitcoin core due to tumblebit. So whatever changes in the structure of bitcoin (forking), devs will adapt it to have a smooth flow of operation between Stratis and Bitcoin. Hodlers grasp the rope tighter and we will have a hell of a ride.
If 2x fork wins, which looks likely, maybe Core devs come and work for Stratis, better than unemployment.
You refer to Nicolas Dorier? He is Core dev and work in Stratis too. I think more core devs will come if they need new jobs like you said. They will bring more value to Stratis.
