Stop spreading this conspiracy theory stuff (which is very popular on /r/Bitcoin)

Bitmain's own pools—AntPool and BTC.com—were voting for (not against) Segwit through nVersion flags in July 2017

Although Bitmain have had criticism about segwit, they are overall «publicly on record as historically supporting it» source: https://blog.bitmain.com/en/regarding-recent-allegations-sme...

They signed this pro-segwit letter: https://medium.com/@bitcoinroundtable/bitcoin-roundtable-con...

Yeah... Im not sure how you can twist the available information into attempting to say bitmain is PRO segwit.

Anyone in the space knows they are not. But please try to confuse newcomers to the space by continuing this nonsense

No, you’re spreading opinionated propaganda, and a political witchhunt. And I don’t think this is appropriate for HN.

/r/bitcoin is heavily censored and is an echo chamber. It is no way representative of the bitcoin community.

Go to any in person Meetup and you know the majority of old bitcoin era and experts are not on /r/bitcoin’s side, and wanted the block size raised a year ago. I’d suggest diversifying your news sources because /r/Bitcoin is more biased than Breitbart.

I'm not sure how you can say I'm twisting information when I cited 3 verifiable facts to support my statement. (You cited 0.)

«Anyone in the space»

You mean anyone on /r/Bitcoin, a heavily censored subreddit controlled effectively by one person (theymos and his minions) who is openly anti-Bitmain.
