Speaking as one of those non-technical users. From everything I have read about this here, it sounds like both sides of the argument claim the high-ground of not wanting to hurt Bitcoin. I can't really judge who may be right in this or who isn't, but what I find the most disturbing about this whole discussion is that it is even possible to change Bitcoin in a bad way. With Bitcoin being this supposedly immutable, trustless system of money. It's never been hacked, but a few devs can just put out an update and it causes this huge crisis? Doesn't make sense.

I think what can happen is those few devs create a fork, but it is each and every member of the entire node community that determines whether or not to implement the fork. Which way will the majority go? Bitcoin Cash BCH is an example that has so far proved to be unsuccessful compared to almighty BTC. This is my understanding, anybody correct me if I’m wrong.
