Brian is sounding so desperate lately. His opinion here just doesn't matter very much as the blocks belong to miners, not him. Frankly I'm encouraging everyone to pull their money out of coinbase right now, as the risk of a Brian -induced fork is non trivial, and his custody of your coins is probably not a risk you should bear


This is FUD. You contradict yourself with your own statement. If any fork happens it would require a super-majority of hash power to support it -- the fork would be considered canonical Bitcoin and there would be no problem and no loss of funds. It's even questionable calling it a "fork" as there really wouldn't be a material side-branch.


Seems like you agree that the miners are in charge here. You read the Bram Cohen criticisms of classic vs core coin?


Post it.
