Is anyone else in here concerned about "Bitmain"?

>Admits that Bitcoin is dead and should be replaced with Bitcoin cash
>Are the ones who created 95%+ of the hardware that actually currently mines bitcoin
> No accountability for their hardware because they sell it for Bitcoin Cash

Nobody has ever saw source code of the machines that are mining the Bitcoin and basically keeps up the whole network alive. And the source code is written by a chinese company who hates bitcoin and wants it dead.

It's not hard to connect the dots, is it?

For all we know, they can flip a switch at any moment and change the miners mining currency. Or perform any kind of attack on the whol network, because they actually control more than 50% of the network resources.

Explain it to me, where I'm wrong here? Because it looks to me that soon we might see some bad things happening.

Bump.

Anyone else realise that most of the bitcoin miners are bought by people who do not know notthing about computer hardware or software what so ever?

China's not stupid, they would be pretty mad at Bitmain for pulling the rug out from Americans when they weren't fully on it yet. They're probably already under orders on pain of death to do something like what you're talking about. But not until the right time. When pensions are invested in bitcoin, when America trusts it, is the right time. I'd feel comfortable right up until everyone else is.

Yeah, that where you are wrong nigga.

You have the illusion that you can mine whatever you want, but in reality they can override that thing if they want to.

Well OP if Bitmain really switches remotely to mine BTC cash everyone that uses them will be:

>What the fuck try to fix them and if they can't turn them off.

As for what will happen with BTC:

>BTC will auto change difficulty because a lot less hashes are mining it now. People will buy other companies miners or just go back to GPU mining as it will be possible to profit with it.

As for Bitamain:

>He will lose his business no one is gonna buy his miners. I guess he can continue to mine Bitcoin Cash with his personal miners.

If he switches back to BTC with his miners the whole network will see this because of insane difficulty increase, which could come only from him. This will discredit his BtC cash....

Over all its loss all around for him if he pulls this.
