Poll
Question: Come August 1st bitcoin will fork into SegWit2x and Bitcoin Cash - How do you see bitcoin on August 15th, after the dust settles. The two coins, Bitcoin SegWit2x (I will call it BTS for SegWit) and Bitcoin Cash (I will call it BTL for libertarian)
BTS will be the only surviving chain, BTL will die fast due to lack of hash power - 37 (39.8%)
BTS and BTL will coexist but BTL will have a lower value, like ETC and ETH - 35 (37.6%)
They will coexist but be priced similarly - 1 (1.1%)
SegWit will fail and BTL will be the true bitcoin - 6 (6.5%)
BTS and BTL will both have a similar value - 2 (2.2%)
Bitcoin will collapse and will take down the rest of the ALT coins with it - 5 (5.4%)
The two chains will bring more value to bitcoin and all the ALT coins will benefit from increased exposure - 7 (7.5%)
Total Voters: 93

Any reasons not to look at the Ether fork as a good prior example?
In the Ether fork, ETH was the "status quo" coin.  It was development of the network which people perceived to be against immutability and potentially against the original Ethereum platform.

In this Bitcoin fork, the original coin is still the status quo coin.  If we had an ETH/ETC scenario, it would be reversed because in Bitcoin, perceived security tends to matter to people more than perceived upgrades in the technology.  Perhaps this is because Bitcoin is the "main" coin, and others are more of a testing ground.

What would be comparable is if there was a low consensus hard fork to 2MB blocks on the main chain.

isn't there a 3rd option of just the original bitcoin continuing on and avoiding either of these garbage alts? or its bitcoin proper dead?

when you create a multi choice question like this aka a poll you should keep it simple and to what people know. and also keep it unbiased!

right now you are firstly complicating the choices by adding a lot of options and also giving them names nobody recognizes!

also it is obviously too biased when you call it "libertarian"!
why not use the common names that majority of people use: BTC vs BCC

because majority of people know BCC ticker is already taken by BitConnect (currently 12th on coinmarketcap 400 mil marketcap so not an insignificant coin)....and likely to cause a ton of confusion when all of the above is listed.
