I doubt steem will reach 20 cents with so many steemians looking to buy and load up on steempower.

Bitcoin on other hand - will reach $1300 or even lower and these big folks will buy it right from the hands of innocent investors and then on Aug 1st they will announce no hard forking due to consensus!

And the whole skyscraping ensues!

I am curious, if hard forking and impending doom was so inevitable why are companies like BitStamp entering into partnerships with Swissquote and all to bring new pairs of BTC?

Something's counter-intuitive here!

Please shed some light!
