what if i told you most of the hardware was in places like mongolia..
thats like saying something canadian is american...'cos its north america'
What if I told you that you're a hypocrite? You don't have any source to back this up and I know it (yet you keep asking for sources).

what if i told you jihan is just one person that cannot be at multiple farms at once.
He can most certainly run several farms.

what if i told you that jihan doesnt control 70% of hardware.
He has produced 70% of the hardware.

1. BU miners have already threatened to attack and destroy the non-BU chain after a split, this is documented
Correct.

2. BU miners under Bitmain lead, have ASICBOOST, so they can invoke a 30% gain at any given time, on their own miners
This is partially correct. You're overestimating. ASICBOOST can save about ~20% in energy costs. However, at current profit margins of ~1% that translates to a ~2000% increase in profits.

3. Now Antbleed has been revealed; a method that, until 48 hours ago, could have been used to destroy everyone elses Antminer on the planet at their discretion
Any Antminer that is not behind a 'disallow by default' firewall (which is very uncommon for home miners).
