August 1st 2017: BCH forked away as they announced they would in June. No one forced them. They freely chose to do it. UASF was a total non-event. I laughed.
im laughing
the segwit supporters announced in spring (feb/march)
and even you show that the cash side didnt announce until june/july
so saying segwit side reacted to cash is funny..
cash reacted to segwit side
the uasf campaign began before april (USAF.co was Creation Date: 2017-03-22T22:19:32Z)
the UASF mentioned the august 1st date
bitcoin ABC began months later(bitcoinabc.org was Creation Date: 2017-05-09T14:59:42Z)
check the blockchain. you will see that all the events lead to the block 478558 being the target block
(core only accepted segwit flagged blocks at 13:23)
nodes opposing segwit couldnt stay on the network as is, so had to shift
(cash only accepted cash blocks at 18:12)
but it is funny how you try to down play segwit activation attempts as just small social stuff that didnt happen and how you avoid mentioning core devs.
goodluck in life. but blockchain data dont lie and even domain who-is search shows who started what
