RE: Potential High Impact Trade: Buy $5,387 to $5,314; STOP $5,275; Target $6,200; Profit Potential: 16%
You could well be right but I think it will take more than just miners to crown a new king. Miners will go where the money is and btc has massive first mover advantage and network effect. It also has the name. It’s going to take a lot to overcome that. Have to wait and see.
take a look at the article, unfortunately it not us who decide....
Many will argue that what matters most is the exchanges. If the exchanges refuse to trade the Bitcoin 2x token, it will die off. All they have to do is support the legacy chain, Bitcoin Core’s version of reality, and 2x miners won’t be able to get any money for the coins they mine, and they’ll switch back to the legacy chain.
The problem is that exchanges will almost certainly not do that. No exchange in their right mind is going to exclusively support a token that only 15 percent of the miners are backing. The Blockchain simply won’t be secure enough. When Bitcoin Cash was first released, exchanges took several days before fully supporting it, because the low number of miners meant that an attack on the network would have been trivial.

Miners follow the money, they don't lead it. If 2X becomes defacto bitcoin, cryto will struggle to find mainstream adoption. People outside of crypto want to use it to actually solve issues, not just speculate. If its splitting 3 times a year then you cannot design infrastructure without predicting which coin will 'win'. Blockchain tech will continue to thrive on private blockchains etc but actual crypto currency will not hit the mainstream, certainly not in the near future.
I agree with what you are saying ...by holding btc you get a new coin after hf so you don't have to worry BY predicting which coin will win .
.you will have both ?!
if 85% of miners are agreeing to S2X then they are leading and not following
HENCE THE SPLIT ..
goodluck!
If 85% of miners switch chains the difficulty in that chain will rocket and if the value of that coin doesn’t rocket also they will be making considerably less and will switch straight back.
pretty sure the 85% have it figured out
Let’s wait and see what happens. If the original btc loses its position as leader, all bets are off!
