Very serious risk: GMaxwell

[DGulari]

There is a clear and very serious risk the Greg Maxwell will forever be known as the guy who fucked up and ruined bitcoin finally.  It looks like ETH will win this battle and everyone will soon be moving over to a system far better managed. 

As wonderful as everyone thinks Satoshi is/was, Greg Maxwell will be / is reviled with equal magnitude. 

I think that is kind-of funny.

Obviously when BTU, classic or another shit emerges, bitcoin plummets. And some people lose their money and  get upset. Very serious risk for Roger ver and all btu shills like you, that brick can fall from the roof on their heads one day.

ETH won becouse life shows taht BU miners (bitmain) don't care about bugs/development but ONLY MONEY. Asicboost have to remain for them to have advantage and keep bug in BTC to use exploit.
People will see that BTC is broken in build.
Miners will lose $$$ to ETH+LTC miners soon

look like alts are eating 2x marketcap ALL NEW MONEY goes to ALTS...
Charts are showing that.
Hokey stick in alts proovs BTC broken design - BTC is in deep shit again.
BTC should rise in current bull but no one is giving shit to BTC anymore as i see in $$$ flow.
More money goes to alts.

This is amazing how SINGLE guy from bitmain can HOLD WHOLE BTC from advancing what a pathetic show.

This is amazing how SINGLE guy from Blockstream bitmain can HOLD WHOLE BTC from advancing what a pathetic show.

Jihan Wu should be able to use whatever he wants that makes miners better.   BU can close the BoostASIC trick too.

Look at the charts, bitcoin is going up. A lot of money has been going into ETH because it's innovative. LTC is attracting the speculators because of segwit, but the money invested is mostly fiat, people aren't selling their bitcoins to invest into altcoins, they are bringing new money to the market! I know some hardcore bitcoiners might see it as a threat, but I don't.

To those who are still holding ETH by the boatload, I suppose you better sell all your ETH while the price is still high.

Vitalik Buterin already expressed his plan to crash ETH into oblivion.

We have uploaded 100 megabytes of alt-right propaganda, Falun Dafa texts, military secrets, copyright-infringing materials and comments making fun of Donald Trump’s hair onto the Ethereum blockchain, with the goal of getting the blockchain banned in as many countries as possible. We believe that by forcing mining and full nodes underground, and encouraging governments to go after services that become too prominent, we can make the Ethereum ecosystem more decentralized and reduce the risk of attracting interest from malevolent institutions such as banks and large enterprises.

Do you have any fucking idea how this will impact ETH's price down the road, over the long term?
Do you really think such plan is bullish for ETH? What the fuck are you smoking? Chinese joss sticks?

It looks like ETH will win this battle...

My answer: Nope.

It's obvious Jihan Wu will not vote anything that treatens his ASIC centralizing monopoly. BU isn't going to do shit against that, which is why Jihan Wu supports it. Who do you think is funding BUcoin devs and propaganda?

Mining is not an end, it's a means to an end. If ASICBoost is an incentive for miners to block improvements to the protocoll, devs must take action against it. Furthermore, ASICBoost incentives mining empty blocks which delays transactions and rewards miners for doing something that is not useful.
