2017 - 52 Days to SegWit: Why the chain won’t split

[SpaceMonkey]

Last week’s post about the BIP148 UASF ended up generating quite a bit of discussion on reddit and twitter, which you can read here and here, respectively.

I have since received a lot of comments about BIP148 from people who read the post or otherwise used it as an opportunity to voice their opinions about BIP148. The vast majority of these comments were positive, and the comments that were negative were mostly supportive of the idea of a UASF, just not this particular UASF. The remainder was trolling (lol).

As I stated in last week’s post, the main reason that I’m supporting BIP148 is because I don’t think we need to wait for either Segwit2x to roll out or BIP149 to activate (if it ever even gets deployed). This is not a matter me of taking my impatience out on the Bitcoin network, potentially putting the sanctity of the blockchain on the line in the process. I have no intention of helping to violate bitcoin’s core value as a reliable p2p electronic cash system.
