Thanks for commenting. First let me say that with current blockchains, we achieve "objective state" at the cost of centralized control of the algorithm by some core group of developers. This results in perverse incentives to maintain the status quo (c.f. bitcoin transaction cost problems).

Getting back to your question, I have no idea if the scaling functions will stabilize on a singular chain or not. However, I think it would be a Pareto improvement over the status quo. Indeed, you could embed BTC and ETH into DCC (with the proviso that all users must use the core-developer-chosen hash functions and scaling functions), and both chains could live side-by-side.
