What they should've done is stuck to that mythical 2mb + Segwit agreement that wasn't an agreement or whatever it was. Things would be rosier than a rosy thing by now.

That may have been an option, but for a reason I don't know they labelled this approach "unsafe", from what I know (afaik they labelled all >1MB approaches unsafe).

Why would they? Their hubris was counted on to doom them from the beginning. If they had just raised the blocksize a little they may have gotten SegWit, but now that opportunity is gone forever. Ha Ha!

I don't understand why you are so happy. BU is losing percents every day that passes. Of course, not enough to ever help SegWit, but this means BU is (also) doomed...
Did you diversify into alts?

BU isn't losing anything. They've been sitting around 38% and haven't gone down. None of this was unexpected. When I first read about bitcoin in 2011, I figured the day would come when the banking elite would start buying up bitcoin infrastructure (mining) in order to control it, thus skyrocketing the price. AXA/Bilderberg funded Blockstream and their affiliates are largely responsible for the popularity and market cap of bitcoin and many alts. Thank them for making us all money.

What they failed to realize is that even if they had succeeded with taking over Bitcoin, they would just have to do the same thing over again with the next coin, making us all more money. They're fighting a losing battle, all because they know they are worthless without control over the money supply and they are scared to death of losing that control.
