This is an another Conspiracy and it is so hard to believe nowadays because almost all of the things that we see in the internet seems true, we believe at first sight most of the time in this internet thing unless you already learned your lessons not to.


What can we do about this?

For me there is no 100% thing as long as you are not there when it happened because every individual can make their own story to make them good in the eyes of others because it is a human nature that we have a wide imagination to make it believable.

I thought I was the only one who understood UASF as a dangerous precedent.

A real honest test would be implement it as a Hard Fork and let the economic majority, whom is claimed to be supporting this, truly decide which chain had value.

This way, it's just a clever way of gaming the system and add a little bit more incentive through the dangers of replay and reorg.

For those who claim they don't want to disrupt the system and thus apologize for soft forks, this one is candy...

This is coercion at its best, regardless of pretended chivalry of what is being fought for.

The fact is, Bitcoin's brand is valuable. Noone wants to risk forking off to a new coin. This is the only reason this is being done through a soft fork in my eyes.

I admire the fact that you exerted much effort for this.

I won't be going deeper through your discussion. But I agree that code is law. Well, as with all laws, they say no one is above the law. That should apply but we tend to forget that laws are, after all, creations of people who put themselves under the law they create. Well, they, and the rest, know that laws need a little retouch every now and then. This is not for something else but for development, their own development. If they know that the laws (codes if you want) need improvement, they have to do something about it. If they need progress. If they want to survive and live longer.

Good point. I wonder what altcoin the OP would transfer to that satisfies his requirements. Litecoin has Segwit, Dash is instamined, Ethereum cannot scale unless it hard forks to POS and ETC has the DAO hacker ready to dump. Never mind the others like Ripple XRP.
