Brother, you really drove the point home with the intro. I no longer recommend investing in SHA-256 Bitcoin, and I advise most of my friends to slowly divest from it. My reasons are the same as yours.
Our opponents were deeply intertwined with the mining cartel, and they knew pretty early on that BIP-110 would be ignored because it was being worked through the back channels.
But I disagree that the fork failed. It not only exposed the cancer plaguing this chain, but also showed how deeply it has metastasised. Some naive people over there didn’t get the message, but I think the next cycle will quite possibly make the reality impossible to ignore anymore.
One note on the Blake2b node counts (I’m one of those node runners too): the numbers are not a fraction of 1% of the Knots numbers. There are already about 5,000 listening and non-listening nodes, and they’re increasing every day, just like the hashrate on our chain.
And the energy in this community is quite different compared to SHA-256. The lifeboat is being built as we speak.
Bitcoin is dead. Long live Bitcoin. ✊🏻
