final obituary will read:
bitcoin passed on its love and desire to its sidechain siblings, staying in their chained hearts forever.
though bitcoin locks are always there with us,
we must remember that life goes on and although node users will not feel or touch bitcoin ever again,
there will always have a memory of their bitcoin LTXO.
Jesus! do you seriously mean it? you sure a hard fork is imminent?
all the dynamic and diverse nodes want consensus of one single network of diverse peers.
core have the ban hammers. the plans to change the network into a tier network and cause the actual forks win or lose.
AND to make sidechains(altcoins) and LN(offchain networks)..
even if core become moral again by getting rid of blockstream puppet masters.. and just add a few lines of code to be on the same level playing field as the other peers. and (yep they get cake) they get to have segwit too(should they want that half gesture empty promise).. meaning a community win win..
but down the road there will be
Lightning NETWORKS
sidechain NETWORKS
emphasis on the word network.
so yes people will be spending funds on alternate networks.. but all triggered by cores intentions of what they think is best. and the fools who follow core all the way no matter what
