I kinda doubt that they're actually going to stick by what they say here, but if they do, it only seems like good news. If you'd like to use a currency controlled by a single company that puts its ability to use its patented Asicboost tech above all other considerations, feel free! I'll stick with Bitcoin, thank you very much.
BIP148 fixes the ASICBOOST exploit. Sure they don't like that at Bitmain, as they have a monopoly on the Asicboost patent.
The situation is foggier than ever and imho this translates to $100 Litecoins.
