it's the tool of the big blockers to push their agenda further. they have money and mining power. you'd be ill advised to believe that.

unless the 2mb fork is in the bag in november, and core and others will go all out to discredit it, they'll be pumping this and flashing mining power in an attempt to scare people.

before that they had blockchain spamming and fake signalling. now they have a coin of their own. you can bet they're gonna squeeze as much as possible out of it.
