I'm taking ore 1900's. Before the federal income tax. Before an the socialist federal government programs. Before things like the CIA and FBI. Before the Federal Reserve, etc.. America was fundamentally changed into a socialistic society 1913-ish.

This is very true. I wasn’t here for the block size wars. I haven’t even been in bitcoin for 18 months yet. So, this would be the first fork I see, hard or soft.

If there is a hard fork, I’ll let it all play out. I would keep my hash in the bip 110 chain and hopefully mine a block over there. But I wouldn’t sell my coin on either chain until it was obvious which way it was going.
