It will be interesting to see if there is a split or not. While I side with ABC over NChain, it would be unfortunate if the split results in a lower PoW chain with more general community and business support.
My preference would be for calmer heads such as in Bitcoin Unlimited and XT to prevail.
Still, it's all a big experiment. I can at least apreciate Amaurys clearly optimistic yet more balanced than many others outlook on the future.
