I'm just an amateur trying to understand this....but if I understand this correctly, the problem I see is that your coins will be harder to do business with and may take longer to transfer. It may be harder to do business with other folks because they may only accept BTC using SW. If Coinbase isn't participating, then you can' do business with anyone using SW. Those that are doing business with Coinbase will have way fewer miners and thus your transactions may take longer.

Well ... maybe this will force me to hold my .05 of a Bitcoin for 10 years and be with something some day ?
Yeah, it will be worth a lot I'm sure. But not sure how much it will be worth in Coinbase. I'm still not clear on what happens if they decide not to participate when the rest of the world is participating. Will that create two types of BTC? Maybe a BTC Version 1 and BTC Version 2 (SetWit)? And how is that traded between exchanges?
I don't know enough of that...so I'm simply not keeping any BTC in coinbase. I'm converting them to Steem for now.
