Fuck me, you're right.

I thought segwit would get slammed and the miners would knock it out conclusively because it was 90 percent anti vs 10 percent pro, and I knew all about empty blocks and hostile reorgs, but the longer we are in this game the more apparent it becomes that it's really not a case of just hashpower. For hashpower to truly force an agenda it would have to also control all the significant economic nodes on the network, and since the coretards captured all the nodes at the exchanges, miners effectively had to go along with their ruleset or just lose their role.
I thought I understood blockchains a lot better than I did. It's humbling ten years in to get this level of a wakeup call.
But, BCH is still on the right side of history, because looking at it from the new perspective what really matters is what's the best ruleset. And the one meg ruleset plus segwit is absolutely idiotic. BCH is simply proceeding directly along the original path and making appropriate technical adjustments along the way to reach the goal we've wanted all along; peer to peer electronic cash for the world..

Useless stupid fuckhead, what do you not understand about the fact that you can't fucking prevent multiple colluding central large volume hub nodes running a con on the external network from doing whatever the fuck they like until it exceeds the bounds of total outstanding locked coins visible from non colluding nodes? If they want to run fractional reserve in the shadows, there's fuck all you can do about it until they overdo it enough to cause a run to the chain. And if they fucking do that guess what? Your pleb ass was priced out of the market so they'll settle on chain first while the value of the asset is cratering from their scam and you'll get left holding less purchasing power by the time you can afford to sell your fucking worthless bags because everyone finally understands bitcoin was worthless from the moment lightning was shoehorned in.
Fuck me just use your fucking brain and think about the security model and topology and think how you'd attack it you stupid fuck. Stop assuming everyone will just play nice granted they never fucking have in this arena in the history of mankind.
Why are lightning cunts so fucking insanely stupid? Fuck.
