BU Hard Fork or Segwit Soft Fork newbie questions

[very_452001]

Sounds like a good idea. But you forgot to mention that you will get a free copy of BU coins and if you add them up with the BTC coins it maybe more than half price in total.

So a BU hard fork or an attack will be inevitable after this summer season?

If a hard fork happens first does that mean soft forks are not required and hence are automatically cancelled? A hard fork after summer will automatically win over the segwit soft fork this november? Is it like first come first served?

Whats the latest status now regarding this drama?

Is the BU hard fork or attack is inevitable in 2017/18 or just FUD not really going to happen? If not really going to happen then why is the latest bitcoin price rising?

They are dead. And that's exactly why the price is soaring. It's up now about $60 from when Gregory Maxwell broke the news last night:

Ok so you are confirming that Rojer Ver & Jihan Wu of Bitcoin Unlimited are not continuing with the hard fork/51% attack in the future?

I was thinking of selling my bitcoin now and buying them cheap again when hard fork happens. You are confirming that I cannot do this because of the above?
