Here is the real reason why BitMain promoted the Hard Fork that created BCH, instead of doing a safer Soft Fork to accommodate SegWit2. The ASICBoost miner software would no longer work. Thus the 30% savings ($100 million) annually would be lost, and AntMiner would be on a level playing field once again. Bottom line PURE GREED!!! see the link below.

Yep. This post was made before Ver and Wu came out and showed their true colors. You nailed it before the fact. Nice. Bitmain ONLY accepts BCH as payment too. Sneaky lowlife bastards, those two.

I agree with you guys. This was a very smart play orchestrated by Roger Very and Jihan Wu. The horrible thing is that they already have tons of bitcoins and are still crazy about earning more bitcoins by screwing so many people around the world. Pathetic move, but a very smart move in my opinion. There are certain youtubers who had even promoted this move which caused many people to dump their bitcoin and move to bitcoin cash which obviously ended badly for them.
