It is true we won't know. I do know one thing that's interesting: BCH is tending towards movement alongside Bitcoin. It appears money that could go into bitcoin is going into cash instead. This is very exciting. My prediction is that ALL the bitcoins will be profitable and have longevity in the long term. I surmise that moving towards mass adoption will contain many who do not care about crypto tech but what is easiest/accessible/pragmatic; and thus great sentiment for any bitcoin that is merchant friendly.
