There is no distortion in what I've said.  If currently stated intentions prove to be accurate, you'll still have roughly 15% of the current network's hashrate with which to continue building the blockchain and prove that your vision of Bitcoin provides the greatest incentive for all participants.  You might get even more than 15% as crunch time draws near and some miners reconsider their stance.  None of this is set in stone.  You will absolutely, 100% guaranteed have the option of continuing to use Bitcoin as it presently exists in it's 1mb base and 3mb witness space ruleset.  There is undeniable freedom of choice in that.  Having "no freedom of choice" is entirely a product of your imagination.

If you're right and your vision of 1mb base and 3mb witness space does result in the most economic activity and best financial incentive to secure your chain, the other ~85% (or less) of miners who currently think a 2mb base blocksize is a good idea will be proven sorely wrong.  They'll come back to your chain and they'll be far more receptive to your way of seeing things.

It's entirely up to you and the rest of the participants in this economy to prove where the consensus really lies.  That's not a "crafty position", that's the reality of it.  

The real distortion is spreading this myth that "hostile takeovers", "power grabs", "benevolent dictators" and "forced impositions" are things that actually happen in Bitcoin.  They don't.  No one has that much power and that's the way it should be.


Fortunately, I think you are deliberately, or unintentionally, lying.

It is you who have roughly 20% of the current network's hashrate, as https://coin.dance/poli is showing now for example if I understand it right (I looked not into the right page, sorry, see my next post)

More and more sane miners prefer staying away from 2x and your Garzik's false, fake btc1 software.

I see no reason to continue arguing with you. You might be working for the mad, insolent 2x miners, while I'm just spending my free time on you.
