> So even if the UASF doesn't seem to have majority support, it's really bad for you as a miner and as a user if it ever eventually does gain majority support. So when the UASF has a lot of traction, really the safest move is to join the UASF, because at least then your coins aren't at risk of being eliminated entirely.

Yes, but that is only if UASF gets a significant portion of the miners to switch.

This is also why Bitmain has publicly announced the UAHF, to hard fork away from the original chain, to avoid this possible scenario.
