I don't understand why am I involved in this useless discussion.
Why am I related with a forkcoin?
I don't see this as a pointless argument. My goal is to determine whether bitcoiners are able to exert more influence on the outcome of a fork via selling their fork coins than if they were to simply yell and scream about how evil the fork coin is.
It is a very widely held belief among bitcoiners that in the event of a fork all the hodlers will awake from their slumber and crash the side of the fork they don't like by selling their fork coins.
James O'Bierne made exactly this argument recently.
I think bitcoiners are deluding themselves in this belief.

I do not see anymore those real bitcoiners from 2010-2017...
People nowadays are such pussies and shitcoiners that a fork will be viewed and welcomed only as a new opportunity to make more fiat crap.
Not every bitcoiner knows that power of holding the real coin. Just look how many UTXOs are still from pre-2017 fork...

I didn't tag you, because I figured you would have weighed in if you cared about the discussion, but I chose you as my example of someone who has no interest (zero demand) in forked bitcoin.

Ah so you were talking about a possible fork of bitcoin or what?
I've said many times on SN: I would be happy to see a new fork and I will do the same as I did in 2017, dumping all the new fork-coins for more BTC.
Forks are not something people should be scared. It help to dilute all the opportunists and shitcoiners and make the Bitcoin holder stronger.
Unfortunately not every bitcoiner have big and steel balls...
