It's not that exciting at all, because Ver and his bribed pool ViaBTC have no power to block SegWit anyway. He's just backpedaling shortly before his obstructionist efforts end in epic fail to avoid loosing face. It may have become apparent to him that he already was successful in becoming the most detested person in the Bitcoin sphere. Continuing the attempt to block SegWit with a measly 5% of bribed hashpower would only make him a laughingstock.
Anyway, it's game over for Ver. His perceived self-importance is in fact a self-delusion. Faulty UnlimitedCoin has no support among the community. Almost all of its nodes are running at the same provider.
ya.ya.yo!
He probably lissened to the last lecture of andreas antonopolous
