Ya, I was going to point out there's a lot of faith with normal currency too - I think bitcoin still is a grand experiment. So far, when there have been forks, a winner has emerged very quickly (see Ethereum), but the UASF is going to be an interesting test of this. I think it's in everyone's interest for the decision to happen quickly and stay sticky though, so it's hard to imagine a drawn out fork battle, but could be interesting. Also interesting, I suppose we're incentivized to get in before any forks, wonder if any of the run lately could be attributed to that.
