Consider his motives. If he's really the evil mastermind pushing BCH, what exactly does he stand to gain from it?
Gabriel Gomez
Other than becoming chief goldsmith in a feudal blockchain system he can compromise at any time with the flick of a switch?
Kevin Ross
imagine if miners could actually do damage to bitcoin, bitcoin wouldn't last a day
Mason Phillips
why would he do any of that if it ruins his only source of income?
Nolan Ward
You really don't understand the BTC blockchain do you?
Michael Myers
I admire this guy - he's a fucking genius. Thanks to him you making money...
Christian Green
FUCK
Ian Bell
you really don't understand game theory do you?
Mason Reyes
Consider your mother if you want to consider.
Chase Thompson
>singlehandedly controlling crypto Yeah. I don't see a "source of income" there either. Really made me think.
Michael Jackson
checked and kekd
Nathaniel Johnson
We are not in Nash equilibrium right now faggot. Not even close.
Daniel Hall

Ethan Ward
what specifically do you think jihan is going to do that is so bad
Alexander Davis
Coordinate pulling miners from BTC with a huge BTC dump.
Elijah Johnson
Enjoy the fireworks.
Benjamin Campbell
he wouldn't be able to do that if there wasn't market demand for bch which has market demand because it is scaling as was outlined in the white paper.
so I disagree that it's a bad thing
Benjamin White
Crash crypto for years and fuck everyone while taking his chink profits and stroking his 1 micron gook dick.
David Green
>Accumulate loads of BCH sub 1k$ >Kill BTC, have BCH replace it >??? >PROFIT
Of course if Bitcoin doesn’t die, that might be a lot of money burned. OTOH killing Bitcoin might not even be the objective, simply triggering these huge BCH pumps and selling at the top for more Bitcoin is plenty profitable, one would assume.
Leo Torres
I actually think Jihun is a stand up guy who genuinely is just trying to do what he believes will benefit the ecosystem the most. Props to him for being a smart business man who has made billions out of this industry.
Alexander Barnes
>who genuinely is just trying to do what he believes will benefit the ecosystem the most you're a moron if you don't think everything he does is profit motivated

Caleb Cruz
Everything he does is definitely profit motivated, but he is still an idealist trying to revolutionize the world for the better.
Joseph Baker
you know what they say about extraordinary claims.
Ryan Wood
>market demand for bch Which will happen immediately when btc's transactions slow to a halt and the dump begins.
Ian Williams
>basic facts are now extraordinary claims How much do they pay you chinklets?
Julian Hughes
Fucking don't call anyone a chink you racist pig fuck your mother if u want fuck.
Jace White
basic facts can be backed up by evidence.
Dylan Hill
Alright dumb fuck plebbitor. Show me which one of those "extraordinary claims" is lacking evidence.
Levi Scott
taking control of the reference implementation (currently controlled by core, for better or worse) and reducing the number of validating nodes. you need to understand, that there are three main parts of the bitcoin machine: 1) miners (controlled by jihan); 2) coders (controlled by core); 3) economic and validating nodes (more or less decentralized). the machine cannot work without any of the parts. currently all three parts are more or less independent. to make any change to the bitcoin protocol its necessary to have a consensus between all three parts. if jihan is successful in his endeavor, he will be able to make any changes to the protocol by himself, since he will be in control of two of the parts (mining and coding), while extremely weakening the third part (running a node will become more and more expensive).
Christian Edwards
Well Bcash fees are now higher than bitcoins so there is that...
Christopher Scott
thank for money roundeye
Eli Long
He would be able to force all transaction fees to be a % of the transaction itself and there'd be no competitive fork to turn to
Nathaniel Sullivan
Nodes are about as "decentralized" as democratic societies. The same people funding Blockstream are deciding who gets elected in presidential elections all over the world. It's naive to think just because this is a new system means idea consensus can't be influenced by propaganda, especially when historically the same people have been so successful at controlling the narrative. Jihan is worth supporting for the sole reason of being a lesser evil. Pick the mafia boss over the banking consortium, the former is easier to topple than the later. Competition is a key concept of capitalism, which makes it critical to side with David over Goliath so those two assholes waste resources fighting each other rather than one of them crushing you under his thumb.
Joseph Bennett
You watch the whales turn around and dump BCH into oblivion and pump something like litecoin just to fuck with everyone.
Camden Harris
>Nodes are about as "decentralized" as democratic societies. The same people funding Blockstream are deciding who gets elected in presidential elections all over the world.
Fucking jibberish, mate.
Alexander Harris
if you consider jihan (backed by chink government), ver (with his hundreds of thousands btc) and co to be david in this fight, youre a fucking brainlet, user. also, you think that jihan and chinese (masters of brainwashing) do not spread propaganda and employ shills? you naive little girl, grow the fuck up.
Xavier Taylor
Actually, I just read the rest of the post. That first line was actually the least stupid part of it. As you were, mate. >Pick the mafia boss over the banking consortium, the former is easier to topple than the later. The absolute fucking state.
Asher Scott
>spamming BTC transactions transactions with fee are not spam, and even then there's no evidence jihan is doing this >felon Roger Ver nice ad hominem >putting up a 10,000 BTC buy wall to prevent BCH from falling below 0.1 which is totally legal. >coordinated pumps and constant paid shilling absolutely zero evidence >mining BCH for months at a substantial loss to pump his shitcoin okay, and this thread is exactly about WHY he would do that. >new DA created specifically to manipulate the BTC market possible, but more likely just to prevent the fork being DOA
Anthony Davis
if theres overwhelming demand for something like bch (as chinklets here love to claim), why did it need eda and daa to prevent it from being doa? sounds like manipulation to me
Kevin Perry
>coding it up for you
Literally changing an integer value from 1 to 2
Fuck that fucking second testament kike
Caleb Wright
do you realize how disastrous it would be to have two competing chains share the same difficulty algorithm? it's the scrypt multipool days all over again.
Logan Gomez
>which is totally legal Actually it's not legal. It's criminal market manipulation as classified by the SEC, but I doubt a felon like Roger would care about laws.
Also, let's see. From the five points I raised, you cite lack of evidence for only two, but let's address them anyway. >>coordinated pumps and constant paid shilling >absolutely zero evidence Huh. I guess BCH just randomly started to pump today at the same time Roger put down a 3000 BTC wall at 0.1 and people on multiple trollboxes (Poloniex, hitBTC, discord, etc ...) I read were talking about a coordinated pump today. What a merry coincidence. >transactions with fee are not spam, and even then there's no evidence jihan is doing this Yeah, because people totally would attach a $100 fee to a transaction containing a $5 underlying value. That makes sense, and sure isn't spam by Jihan.
Isaac Evans
no, it wouldnt be. as you said yourself, without eda. bch wouldve been doa. there would be nothing disastrous, there would be no bch.
Matthew James
FUCK YOUR MOTHER IF YOU WANT TO FUCK
Ryan Sullivan
>totally legal
Coin needs life support to keep from free falling due to difficulty adjustment it's not about legality.
Owen Taylor
Holy fuck I called it, it's actually happening!!! LTC TO THE MOON!!!
Oliver Thompson
>Actually it's not legal. I had no idea honestly. placing a buy order on an exchange is illegal now?
>coincidence uh, yeah, without any better evidence it's just that. coincidence.
Samuel Hughes
>I had no idea honestly. placing a buy order on an exchange is illegal now? So you're just retarded then? Placing a buy order without the intent of it being bought is illegal as classified by the SEC. If the only intent is to push up the price then that is felony market manipulation.
>it's just that. coincidence lol
Ethan Thompson
Chink detected
Grayson Myers
Why even deal with these wishful thinking cunts who missed the btc boat? It's just painful to read how desperate these people are to push their speculative basic begging thinking it might actually make them.as rich as those of us pulling out thousands in fiat every day for the fuck of it while still maintaining thousands of coins.
Mason Richardson
So what I have squinty eyes what's the big fucking deal?
Oliver Kelly
youre the only one having a stroke regarding that, no one else give a fuck about you or you squinty eyes, chink.

Brayden Richardson
Hopefully the kikes make short work of your zipperhead. Good luck winning when the Federal reserve backs Bitcoin.
Jordan Rogers
Jokes on you I'm not actually a chink.
Leo Nelson
These types of Americans are so fucking tedious. "Anyone who's more successful than me is evil!" is such an adolescent way to approach your life.
The vast majority of individuals in all industries are not corrupt, and want to build a productive, wealthy, better world.
People have got so stupid and radicalised that they flock to the transparently corrupt cartels because "Hey, at least these sociopaths are open and honest about wanting to rob me blind! Right, guys?"
Idiot.
Adrian Rodriguez
theres plenty of statists everywhere, not just burgerland: its just brainlets who cant think for themselves and demand goobernment to control everything, so they dont have to use their empty heads.
William Gray
just a balance of power both side are smart and evil
Josiah Torres
Congrats, you completely failed at reading.
Charles Hall
Noice digits my negro
Lucas Phillips
the SEC is the SECURITIES and exchange commission. It has no authority over coins that are not securities. Market Manipulation only applies to currencies/securities, so technically it is legal to mess around in Crypto, so suck a dick noob.
