Well my exact words for #1 were "which truthfully felt like almost half the community". It obviously wasn't half because they moved forward with it - but there was a massive debate about it and a lot of people on forums and in the trollbox were clearly against it. They just didn't have voting power.

#2. People already are - there were devs that were against the fork and there are also devs that will see this as the exact same code with the ability to take it a different direction. They can also price cut ETH to clients and provide the same solutions - so there is the money aspect as well.

#3. Totally a valid take. There will be plenty of people who don't think ETC has any value and will simply call it a scam - pretty much every coin has that group associated with it.

Although we seem to disagree - I still appreciate you taking the time read & comment. So thanks!
