Re: So who the hell is still supporting BU?

BU has proven to be unreliable, untested software developed by amateurs, who the hell is still delusional enough to support those guys instead of Core?

BU is tested, and it's designed by skilled developers. So your statement is a lie.


It's time to wake up and admit defeat, Core wins again. BU is joining the list of hardfork attempts that failed along with XT and Classic soon.

BU is rapidly growing in popularity and it's exceeding support for SegWit, so it looks like BU is winning, not Core. So, sad for you.


Core calls the shoots and everyone copies then, then they tweak something here and there and manage to fuck up bigly.

Luckily, this is a lie. Core does not call the shots, and nor should they. Bitcoin is designed to be decentralized, so having a handful of devs calling the shots is dangerous for the health of bitcoin, and goes completely against the idea of decentralization.   
Bitcoin is supposed to move us AWAY from corrupt powers, not to replace them by corrupt devs.   

BU helps the miners get their power back, and the miners SHOULD have power. Because the miners committed millions of dollars to invest in mining hardware, and because mining hardware can only do 1 thing (mine bitcoin) the ONLY way for miners to get their investment back, is by making sure bitcoin succeeds. So giving power to the miners makes SURE that bitcoin will succeed.

We are lucky BU is irrelevant. If this happened and BU was as big as Core is, we would have ended up in a tricky ETH/ETC style situation with the consequent disaster.

Looks like some guys will never learn. They think magic solutions exists to the current issues, BU being nothing but a failed magic trick attempt.

Now if they could behave as adults and start signaling for segwit as advice by every expert on the field including Andreas Antonopoulos, we could move on from this mess and continue improving.

Se above statements. You are completely clueless.
