Just sharing some disturbing news from reddit.

F2Pool operator was pressured into accepting HK deal. Alex Petrov of Bitfury allegedly abused the HK deal for personal financial gain (inside trading).

In HK, Alex asked me to “respect” his time by agree the consensus asap. Also someone else told me he had bought long position just before the roundtable, if we did not agree, he would lose huge financially. If it was not these two, I would probably have escaped away that night.

As a bonus, Samson Mow (BTCC) is openly lying to the Chinese community in his AMA

Greed is ruining the bitcoin space. I'm not too worried though, we will overcome - one way or another.

For sure.

yeah, free markets will win this one. I just can't tell yet if it means replacing Core or Bitcoin.

What a joke... At least they're nothing without community support... If they change and nobody mines on them or uses their services, its their loss.
