The split, and there will be a split but not with UASF, is the perfect proving ground for Bitcoin. The entire purpose of the whole experiment is to see whether it can successfully generate consensus, even in the face of intense disagreement or attack. In this regard, I see it as inevitable that a chain will emerge that permits greater transaction throughput, and that consensus will organize around this chain. If it doesn't, then in a very real way the experiment will have concluded.
