My point is they think that the Core Devs are currently incorrect.

Everybody has different opinion. Do you even know anybody you can 100% agree on any matter, because I dont.


They are rumored of agreeing to a proposal to switch to Classic.
Those are separate devs (from Core) with a fundamentally different ideologically view point on what makes Bitcoin/BTC valuable.

Are you sure the miner's understand that? Their proposal seems to think that core devs just shuffle over to classic.

What I'm saying is: Do the Chinese Miner's fully understand the situation and the potential future outcome?
I am arguing that they do not. I argue they don't know anything about how any of that works.
They only know what they know about mining. Their move to classic could neuter their future profits.

Classic is not good option for myselves, miners should merge the changes they want but if they choose BIP 109 because their lazy to come up with better hard fork change, be it. Its not the end of Bitcoin, and certainly better than current 1 MB, so no big deal for me. Maybe the few who treated Bitcoin as their own pet project leaves Bitcoin because of their egos, but every dev should be replacable if Bitcoin is meant to be decentralized - and those who understand what Bitcoin is keep using and making Bitcoin better after the change anyway.
