There are still those wackos that are in favor of a split purely because they will have the double number of coins. Just for their own benefit, they have no problems with causing a massive blood bath in case a split becomes reality -- clowns are they. Either way, I voted Yes on the activate SegWit poll. It's a bit weird to vote on the second poll since it could basically mean anything, so I decided not to vote there.
Anyone in favor of a Bitcoin split is either very ignorant (and/or delusional) or an enemy of Bitcoin. Now if we were forced to do a split of any kind, then a bilateral split is the only way to go (to prevent damage on both chains). The BTU clowns don't even want that.
I wonder what the thinking is behind it. I presume it's a face saving measure where they can say they're fulfilling the will of 'the people' despite their own misgivings. A neat out for them.
It's probably a get-out clause to save themselves. If you resist a successful UASF, you become entirety irrelevant later on. This is why it is better for them to activate it via MASF.
Do you guys believe that they changed their mind so quick and now they are seriously thinking to start signaling segwit?
It is very possible if you considering that the price of LTC increased about 600% primarily due to Segwit.
as Lauda keeps repeating as the super majority wants Segwit, they will eventually see they have no other choice but to embrace it.
Just look at the node stats (both listening and non-listening), the amount of companies ready or in support of Segwit. Combine that with the results of this Twitter poll (which is not exactly representative as a lot of people do not use Twitter), you get the proof required to confirm my statement (which I will keep repeating).
