But it's "fork or die". This isn't a mere "scaling debate", in which Jihan Wu, his cartel of miners, and Silbert's cartel of merchants can play their games. They their play games, then all of us lose.
actually it is more like "don't-fork or die" for those who you named here. we are discussing a switch to a different algorithm to "outrun quantum computers", that includes hash algorithm and consequently the mining algorithm that will effectively brick SHA256-ASICs and make the producing companies obsolete even if for a short period of time until they create NEW-ASICs. they would have more cause to delay it.
