Segwit2x
Worth keeping this in mind: "DCG (Digital Currency Group) is the company spearheading the Segwit2x movement. ... Mastercard is an investor in DCG. ... Three board members are listed, and one Board "Advisor." Three of the four Members/advisors are particularly interesting: Glenn Hutchins: Former Advisor to President Clinton. Hutchins sits on the board of The Federal Reserve Bank of New York ... ending December 31, 2018. ... Barry Silbert: CEO of DCG ... Ex investment Banker at (Houlihan Lokey) And then there's the "Board Advisor," Lawrence H. Summers: "Chief Economist at the World Bank from 1991 to 1993"
is segwit2x a corporate takeover attempt?
Ah so! Thanks for this info.
The presence of such heavyweights on the Board seems like an undeniable admission that Bitcoin has arrived 'big time' and now has to be addressed.
I am still trying to understand how this corporate takeover is going to unfold, since everything depends on the coin buyers', sellers', and miners' decisions after the hard fork. For one thing, a major part of the network strength of Bitcoin is not in the USA.
I have heard this corporate takeover hypothesis mentioned on Youtube . Can you lay out how that would happen for us Dummies?
