> fidelity et all have all the dollars. if there's a fork, they will probably own 51pct alone. you will be asking about THEIR fork.

I have read this comment five times, and I simply cannot make heads or tails of it.

What is "THEIR fork"? If there's a fork, everyone has keys which underpin addresses on both forks. How do you know which fork belongs to "fidelity et all"?

And more importantly, why is that relevant? Isn't the longest chain the only determiner of canon? Or has that changed recently?

Yes everyone with keys will have access to addresses on both forks. Which is why people have access to both “Bitcoin” and forked “Bitcoin Cash” addresses with one set of keys
