There is no such thing as an "economic majority". 95% of Bitcoin users don't care or are uneducated when it comes to the scaling debate. A handful of CEO's saying they support this or they support that, is nothing more than political gerrymandering that literally means nothing, unless they personally own large chunks of hashpower, That is
I can definitely say that you talk too much
You can discard the economic majority as non-existent in the same way as you can throw away the law of gravity. You may think that it doesn't exist and whatnot, but it is what gravity itself thinks which is what finally matters. In other words, your ignoring of the economic majority doesn't make it less effective. More specifically, while 95% of Bitcoin users may in fact be uneducated or even ignorant (just like you) but since their coins are mostly traded, exchanges would act as their proxies and on their behalf. So you may very well consider the major exchanges as the economic majority. And they certainly do care, and you can easily picture what they think about Jihan Wu and his efforts
I am more ignorant than the average "Legendary" here but let me tell you my opinion FWIW. First, I love the whole idea of a good crypto, that's what brought me here to Bitcoinistan...
But, if this whole thing ends badly, I am OUT! I'll wait patiently for an Alt that might be better, less contention and drama. Maybe some more forward thinking too. Include better anonymity, and I would take a good look.
BTC turning into one or more shitcoins will not work for non-tekkies like me...
I think the big issue is whatever the main cryptocurrency leader is will have more issues on it's development rather than the second place crypto does. More money and visions for the future of crypto cause camps and camps fight each other.
