This is dangerous thinking, Jimmy. Developers have literally Zero say in how contentious each hard fork will be. Vitalik said the ETC folks caught him by surprise and we all know Bitcoin Cash popped up out of nowhere against the wishes of the core devs.

More importantly, both of those splits played nicely and added replay protection, which made them into altcoins instead of issuing a Brand War proclaimation like S2X is doing.

Again, Core developers had Zero control over Hard Forks’ rival teams adding replay protection, too.

November could go down EXTREMELY messy with investors unable to discern the difference between Bitcoin and S2X. Both will claim they are they one true bitcoin and Hashpower will be on S2X’s side guaranteeing extreme contention and lower the security of Bitcoin in a major, if not fatal, way.

Does this sound like a “feature” to you?
