Vlad, you seem like a very knowledgeable person, and I have just spent 20 minutes sifting through this mountain of a thread to come to a clean and digestible conclusion about your 'the end is nigh' posts...
Might you be able to do a TL;DR abbreviated version? A praisie/summary/conclusion/roundup of your thoughts?

I friend of mine summed up what I've been saying for nearly half a decade really well. If bitcoin splits in multiple pieces then:
- The immutability myth will vanish.
- The consensus crap will be fantasy.
- The decentralization a fairytale.
- Anonymity bulls**t.
- Cheap and fast transactions a lie.
One thing is for sure though - crypto is the future so then the big questions is, where will users, miners, merchants, banks, corporations, etc., go when they finally wake up to the obvious truth?
And apples - Romanian grandmas do love handing out apples.
