<p class="MsoNormal">At the risk of fanning off-topic discussion on a technical list, may I point out that SegWit2x is an upgrade to the bitcoin consensus rules. At and after the Nov HF, the upgraded chain shall be bitcoin, that is not in dispute. Also, core
devs are NOT bitcoin.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I apologize for my previous post. I just learned more about SegWit2x<br>
and saw the twitter polls saying SegWit2x is not being defined by the<br>
vast majority of people as "bitcoin". Majority usage is the definition<br>
of a word. I recommend SegWit2x advocates stop calling it "bitcoin"<br>
without qualification because it is trolling for disruptions to their<br>
mailing list. BTW Adam Back's response was in no way trolling or<br>
disruptive or off-topic like others were saying.<br>
