Title: Bitcoin XT May End Up Splitting the Cryptocurrency Community Post by: tadakaluri on August 25, 2015, 02:09:39 PM Quote Critics of Bitcoin XT say that the developers should just use a different name like other cryptocurrency systems, instead of trying to replace “Bitcoin.” Even though the Bitcoin Foundation has played vital role in developing and popularizing the cryptocurrency, introducing a new blockchain may end up dividing the community. Furthermore, there is no “official” organization of this totally decentralized system and no one has the authority to “upgrade” the existing Bitcoin blockchain, critics say.

It doesn't matte if the introduce bitcoin XT or not, people will use one for the same reason people use bitcoin over other alt coins. The most popular and known one will be used.
