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 will bring here a must read post by Mircea Popescu

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...
