The price is besides the point here. Thing thing to learn from the Ethereum hard fork is that there were factors that they did not anticipate that would happen. Instead of doing only the hard fork, the original chain lived on and became a competing chain. The effect of it on Ethereum may be minimal because the network is quite young. So yes they have that luxury to make drastic measures. My question is how will this affect a more established blockchain like Bitcoin?
It's called freedom, friendo. A fork, it's the open source way.
It's why little Johnny is better off if Mommy and Daddy (who hate and abuse each other, in front of the investors kids), find separate houses.
Then why don't you fork? Why do people like you just constantly talk about forking, rather than following through? Is it because most of the technical community isn't interested? Is it because you are waiting for miners to pressure opposing users with their hash rate?
I don't see why you guys can't just fork, if not for fear that no one would support your chain. Go ahead and fork; it's the open source way. I'm guessing you won't get very far.
Patience young padawan... the market will serve as the orchestra for this dance... follow its lead. Or don't... and dance to your own drummer. Freedom...

Re: Stop fuckin' around, fork the son-of-a-bitch already.
I have a hypothetical question. Let us pretend that a hard fork indeed happened. For this example let us use BitcoinXT as the new version to be used in the fork. If the hard fork ended up like the one that happened to Ethereum, who is to blame and what should be done? Now we have two Bitcoin chains and both have die hard supporters unwilling to let go for each.
The horror, the horror.
Are we afraid of the wisdom and function of free market capitalism? You know... that thing that's supposed to underpin the incentives of Bitcoin?
Look at those dates (you are either a blind fool or just a troll): August 25, 2014. I have been involved in a lot of altcoins in the past, but have exited the altcoin space during 2014-2015. Now, this isn't even part of the topic here and you have clearly failed. I suggest that you either try to make reasonable arguments relevant to the topic or keep quiet. Hint: The topic is "Stop fuckin' around, fork the son-of-a-bitch already.".
Whoa... and here I was just thinking lauda was a petty sig spammer and paid toady... The ol' iCEBREAKER model to "early-adopter" profit. Sly as a fox Lauda, I'm legitimately impressed.

Look at all the sig spammers scratching their noggins.
I'll let u guise in on a secret... shhhhh.
There's a new #3 (flirting with #2) most powerful mining pool on the block... and they like big blocks. The market seems to like that.
sustained 11% could block the soft fork segwit rewrite indefinitely... bullish
... little people with little dreams of little victories and little futures.
independent people, with big dreams, relishing small victories, dedicated to a larger future, a future where Blockstream will have to compete, rather than co-opt...
All the puzzle pieces are coming together... Elements Sidechains are orthogonal, yet highly complementary to Bitcoin's value proposition... I hear.
Green Address has been a staunch supporter of Gregory's "avoiding scaling" roadmap from the beginning, nice to see them get their deserved cut of the VC booty.
Got their hands on the elusive Blockstream shares too...

^^^ yup ... and from now on "consensus" actually means "unanimous consensus" in crypto-blockchain world ... contentious hardforks are for idiots.
Right on. So... that merge mined altcoin with a 75% discount on blockchain space for signatures called segwit soft fork... I don't consent, so that's settled, then... status quo immutable protocol it is.
no you drooling idiot, that is why it is called softfork, you don't have to consent to it and you can still keep using your old version (classic or w/e you want to pump it as) ... on the main blockchain. Bitcoin will remain open to all misfits, thieves, malcontents, complainers, the worst (and best) of society are all welcome and free to use it.
It's a shame your logic is completely inconsistent, putting your lack of learningz/moral prinicples on full display. You lower the bar for controversial changes to the "immutable" protocol, simply because my zombie node doesn't understand wtf is happening and 5 chinese dudes rubber stamped it? Your friends are running the show now, making these forks nice'n'comfy for you, will they always be? You can soft fork in some really nasty stuff, when it happens, will you think of me?
