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.
If the 1x fork loses, Blockstream company might decide to switch over to the winning side and develop lightning network on 2x fork, BUT, maybe some Core devs currently working for Blockstream would find that humiliating (people have egos & pride, companies neither). Some Core devs may soon find it impossible to work with 2x fork, and Stratis might suddenly look like a good exit strategy, seriously!
