Will you use old Bitcoin if XT wins?

[Come-from-Beyond]

If the fork happens there will be people using old Bitcoin for the same reason why they use SHA256 altcoins (even with the risk of being raped by Bitcoin ASIC owners). The poll is created to gauge percentage of such people. It may give some hints on how lower XT price will be (because of inflated supply).

the dev have to work for the community the fight between bitcoin XT and bitcoin core is going to make a lot of people lose a lot of money

...and some people earn a lot of money

No. I'll just stick it to the majority, either it being Core, XT, or whatever comes (whether I like it or not), under the risk of not being able to send/receive transactions and not being able to buy/sell goods to users of the longest/most accepted chain/chain with most hashrate.

You may get the both, check this guide - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1157679.0.

If it wins we may experience a big price crash, so I don't know if I'll own any Bitcoin by then.

Nope. There will be only one winner because of the economic incentive.

if they keep the nonsense about logging people's IPs and banning vpns and Tor and they win, I will just walk away and leave Bitcoin

[flock123]

depends, if bitcoin XT is more readily available and the price is high, maybe I will use it  

[Abiky]

If Bitcoin XT wins, then it would be total chaos for Bitcoin. The price would drop and lots of people would leave Bitcoin (and I would do so too). Just my opinion, though. You might not agree with me  

[dothebeats]

In case XT wins, I would sell all my bitcoins and leave it for good. There will be other innovative breakthroughs that I might take part on again, but not on xt where I sense some authoritative control over the two lead devs. Just my thoughts.

Agree

Exactly this, I think many people will just walk away and find themselves some other crypto. There is no way I will stick with this either. There are at least handful of cryptos out there that deserve a chance if Bitcoin becomes centralized.

People have also started thinking which crypto could that be:

If XT wins i will be on a double spending spree for atleast 24 hours.

[NeuroticFish]

I think that the exchanges will "decide" for us which one to use.
If majority will keep good old Bitcoin, we will all still use it. Else, Bitcoin may become a piece of history and XT may actually be (or not?) the first altcoin to take its place.

What if exchanges will all start using LTC, or DOGE, or DRK, XMR, ETH, or.. name it.. as main crypto currency?

[twister]

If XT wins I'll end my journey with Bitcoins and maybe move to Litecoins or some other altcoins.

[kelsey]

i'm indifferent to price

value is more important.

even is bitcoinxt was to win this battle bitcoin core will still be kept going and eventually win.

[sick of life]

XT is under control by development or company. we need bitcoin not under control

[allthingsluxury]

I believe the majority will win the day, the other will simply fade away.

[BitUsher]

Whether or not we need bigger block sizes is a much different matter than if we should use XT controlled by Hearn and incorporating other controversial changes. I cannot see myself ever using XT.

i (and everyone else) will follow the longest chain. the other chain will be nearly worthless. so good luck.

and i want bigger blocks
