Eyes rolled as soon as I saw it's Mike Hearn. He and Gavin don't care about 'Bitcoin'... Not really. They have ulterior motives with this fork. Be careful and take what he writes with a grain of salt.
This is quite a longshot, but Satoshi's opinion is really needed about the matter here.
Please elaborate, what are these ulterior motives that Gavin and Mike have? I am not aware of any, but then again I dont read everything involved in this.
Who knows. But they become masters of the universe of bitcoin that's for sure.
