jihan has only 16% management but even then not even 16% are voting in one direction. so blaming the 74% against segwit on one man with less than 16% is a major laugh, kind of digging at the bottom of the barrel for any straw you can find, laugh
If you believe that Jihan only has 16% under his control, then I have bad news for you. You are as ignorant as any other shitposter on this forum.
your right. he doesnt have 16%. he has less.. try to double check statistics, not reddit next time

if they have the majority they dont need to fork off.. if they dont get the majority they wont fork off. consensus of one single chain. LEARN IT
Majority hashrate != Bitcoin.
never said hashrate. i said majority. learn consensus and you will understand its about nodes that are more important.. remember its only core that car about hashrate. they even went soft because of it. but they didnt expect to be on the losing side. they thought they could fly their code in un opposed. it made me laugh when they avoided full node then pool, to instead just go pool only.. basically shooting self in the foot.
but we know the reason is to take the glory if it worked going soft or blame the pools if it didnt work.. either way not having to accept that segwit just isnt wanted.

Interesting thought.  I suppose since Satoshi may still be out there holding a huge amount of coins if they're unhappy with one particular fork they could probably pummel it into oblivion by dumping those coins in large amounts day after day.
Yes, this is what I have mentioned in the other thread.  If Satoshi is adamantly against BU (and there are reasons to think he is) he could dump it into the ground.  It would be a very dangerous move though.  He would be acknowledging he is still alive and has active control of his keys.  He might help core by dumping on BU, but it could also make people not want to use either chain knowing he is back.  Obviously very unlikely but interesting to think about.  Of course, as has been mentioned, it will be a dumpwar fest regardless, since there are plenty of massive early adopter holders on both sides of the debate.
What makes you think that Satoshi is alive?

doesnt matter what satoshi does. spending coins is just temporary "price" drama.
if anyone only cares about price drama they need to take a step back and think about the bigger picture.
if anyone only cares about 'double my coins' greed drama they need to take a step back and think about the bigger picture.
