Have a look at this [/url] and you will see there is nearly 90% consensus for 2mb blocks at this moment. Add to that all the exchanges that have stated they will follow the majority ( not a given that its classic)
Now you are creating a false dichotomy and insinuating a capacity difference between core and classic when they are both ~2MB. Are you also ignoring the deals being made between core and miners right now for April 2MB segwit + 2 Mb hardfork (for an effective 4MB capacity) in Feb/march 17?
Let me make it clear that it isn't a threat and that attack and others ones I discussed aren't likely .... but specifically for the reason the miners aren't idiots and want to have the support of core and their valuable contributions.
Statements of support to leverage power and hedge bets doesn't mean any of the miners will follow through either. Since Classic really isn't offering any distinct technical differences besides being less , it is clearly a political coup.... and with politics many businesses will court both sides which we see here.
Lets wait and see them start to mine those blocks in march.
