Jihan can say he wants to take a bite out of the moon because its made of green cheese, that don't mean he really wants to do that or that he really believes it. What Jihan really wants is control over Bitcoin so he can make more money. All of his actions have been to this effect.

That is nothing but baseless rumour. Evidence please

What evidence do you actually need?

Everyone and his hungry dog want to make more money. Do you need evidence for that too, especially when you have a lot at stake in something? Jihan has likely invested millions of dollars in ASICs, and now you essentially claim that him wanting to protect his investments and earn more money is a baseless rumor. I understand that Jihan's shills know no limits in arguing virtually anything that goes against their master's agenda but they should certainly care not to sound like complete dumbasses at that

Evidence Jihan wants control over Bitcoin.

I have nothing against people making money. I am against people trying to destroy/limit Bitcoin.

This word has lost its meaning long ago

So your whole question is meaningless since you can always claim that this is not what Jihan actually wants. On the other hand, profits are simple and easily understandable to anyone with half a brain. Since it seems that you don't question that point, Jihan wants profits, and that means more hashing power and more fees for himself (think centralization here). As simple as that. But it is obviously against Bitcoin if it goes above and beyond certain limits, and Jihan has already gone well past them, even though it is an ultimate outcome of the flaws in Bitcoin design (in respect to mining)

Sorry but you are not getting it. If someone is going to post "fact", then i will ask for evidence. As usual no evidence is presented, thus no debate can be had.
You're a straight up idiot the fact that he's willing to start his own fork to get his way is evidence enough.

So it is ok if others start a fork using UASF or Core developers getting their way.

There is only one way - the whitepaper. Any other ways, people should start their own altcoin instead of changing Bitcoin into something else.

Fact is simple kingidiot - both sides wants their way and both sides won't back down and both sides are going to fork one way or another. Attacking one side and defending the other side for doing the same thing = hypocrite.
