The fork issue is a distraction. It won't kill bitcoin. The majority will eventually choose what fork they want to use, whether it is the original, or XT, or some third option.
I see the fork issue as silly infighting which only hurts bitcoin. I want bitcoin to succeed, that's what I care about, not what version of BTC I use. I will go with the majority, whichever fork is chosen.
It 's easy to predict without any arguments
What make you think Bitcoin is about to go mainstream? Amazon accepting BTC in 2016?
I think its possible in 2016, the bitcoin is getting bigger everyday.
Maybe Amazon is taking the chance to go for the bitcoin.
