Yes ASIC boost was yet another issue bitmain created - a messy time it was back then.
The UASF situation is, in my view, very similar to what we are seeing now and also different.
Core 30 have loosened the rules allowing larger op_return effectively creating a new kind of Bitcoin, whereas bip 444 suggest reverting that to the old and keep Bitcoin a purely monetary network not a ETH 2.0. Then there's knots enforsing the old rules wanting to do the same but in a slightly different way.
Whatever happens, thank you for engaging in this conversation. It's refreshing talking to someone who actually have historical knowledge.
