Jihan BU is declaring a war against bitcoin, that's what happening. He is probably going to Hard Fork bitcoin before UASF makes appearance and he is spending massive amounts of money on nodes and hash power i imagine.

This can't end well.

Bitcoin is too big to fall in an incompetent turd's (two turds actually) hands. I can already see the core fiddling their fingers around the nuclear button. Goodbye bitmain.

Edit: Wrong alarm, there were fakes it seems.
