It's pretty naive to believe everything that's posted on Reddit or another dubious forum. I could also post my "masterplan" there Grin Or some big blocker could post "Blockstream's evil masterplan". Would you believe that?

It's even possible that this is really the plan of some hardcore big blocker, but not of the whole NYA group.

And the translation is really bad, sorry.

I am not supporting Segwit2x anymore, but not because of these conspiracy theories. It's because its success probability is extremely low and Bitcoin would suffer the loss of manpower if most Core developers leave it. So it's rational to support Core, for now - and keep your private keys from the fork date until Core has definitively won.

But it's not that easy after a hard fork to "take over" the coin. Core could simply post a 2x compatible client and then continue with their own roadmap (accepting grudgingly the 2x/8MB weight limit), as I wrote here.

Why do you create doubt? Do you have an agenda?

This is NOT from Reddit this is from 8btc.com, which is owned by BEIJING INNOVATIVE LINKAGE TECHNOLOGY, who own most of the online BTC websites in China.

This is the real deal, not a conspiracy, do you work the GOV?? Is that why you drop the CIA "conspiracy" tag? Note this was posted on a public chinese BTC site, it was not posted as a conspiracy, it was posted  as their public plan to take-over BTC.

Now the Chinese already own BTC, given they mine +80%, so in their minds, they're just trying to kill that pesky 20% that irritating them, they want the full 100% and want nothing to do with the 'little people', they want BTC to be a rich mans currency in CHina for the Gods.

Regardless if it is true or not, it is just speculation right now. Claiming it is fact just makes it looks like Bitcoin Core supporters are irrational. No need to give B2X supporters more tools for their arsenal. Besides, major players are making efforts to ensure that the brand stays the way it is.
