Absolutely not, because bitcoin has value because users appreciate its utility, all t he remainder is speculation.

If Bitcoin ceases to be useful it will not have any value. Store of value in and by itself does not exist, a good needs underlying utility and it stores value well because predictably, it will hold its utility far into the future: I.e. Gold.

Bitcoin will not cease to be a store of value just because it changed its audience. You could argue that as a settlement layer, Bitcoin will cater to less users but higher paying ones.

In the end, this is just a question of philosophical roadmap.

Myself I support BCH because it goes in line with the revolution of the commons I envisioned. Taking back sovereignty. But I do not expect Bitcoin Core to not be able to fulfill its use as store of value, much like gold, under their present roadmap. And if all my fears come to pass, it will actually be worth a lot for the actors I envision entering the scene. That's why my Bitcoins will stay on the main chain, in a non SegWit address and with no Lightning Channels.

But that is a very narrow vision for Bitcoin and a testament to our collective sheepness and feeble minds... we could indeed have had it all. It isn't however, an economic disaster, it could very well make all the holders very happy moneywise. It will essentially be a bribe.

Given the present roadmap, it could at least bring some transparency to the current financial system (half full glass). My main concern is now that they set everything up, they are actually working on anonymity (total empty glass)... this just sounds too fucked up to be true, how we had so little foresight to fight this collectively.
