Hey all,
Today it became known that Chinese markets (some of the biggest markets of miners) announced that they're looking to force segwit on btc network. Wow right?
I mine at Antpool currently and at the peak Antpool was pushing 950+PH/s. After this announcement the pool hashrate fell to 850. This specific market is demanding that changes are to be made before Aug first. What does this mean? Let's speculate.
This could mean, that many individuals feel that bitcoin as a whole is going to split into two. Bitcoin Core, with 2mb blocks and Bitcoin Unlimited. Or the unlikely scenario that the rest of the network just adapts to the segwit changes.
What do you think? In the coming days and months we shall see. Leave your comments below!
