"Many people smarter than me have opined on the issues surrounding the Bitcoin scaling debate. As such, I will only focus on the relevant dates traders should etch into their memory.
July 14th
On this date ..."

"Jihan Wu, Bitmain CEO, already opined that he will hard fork regardless of whether UASF succeeds or fails. It is not guaranteed that a hard fork could happen without issues, but this is the best time from their perspective to attempt one. Should it succeed, Bitcoin will quickly erase all prior losses and surpass $3,000. "

So the market will be delighted that a handful of Chinese miners are in full control of Bitcoin?

That's a really fucking stupid supposition.

The market will be delighted that Segwit passes. After that, Jihan and Roger Ver can shove btc1 up each other's asses.. If they do decide to fork off, no relevant economic nodes will join them.

I'm still of the belief that this whole segwit2x fiasco is a way for Jihan to save face, while accepting segwit.
