not really. why does it matter that this message is authentic? that 2x _really_ isn't going to happen? it can still happen, and it doesn't matter who posts what online.

Jeff Garzik was the only author of btc1, the primary 2x implementation. For it to survive for any length of time, someone needs to step up and take over code maintainership.

"Who posts what online" is exactly what determines whether or not 2x happens.
