 All the biggest corporate actors, exchanges and miners in bitcoin agreed to fork it, against the will of the devs and plebs.

They got completely wrecked.

Sequel coming soon, as the suits try to get control - but the ending will be the same..

 u forget they have more tools now. 
They have paid devs, paid podcasts, paid miners (in bitcoin they have 8 of 10 major)
They also have more talking nonsense voice (twiitter accounts, market nonsense promoters, """security researchers"""" XD) 
and my favorite of all "innovators"

 In 2017 it looked a lot worse than that. 

But the point is, let them go ahead and make their fork.  I couldn't give a fuck.  And everyone will know it's bullshit.

The real issue will be if they can kill our fork.

It's just whether bitcoin can be killed or not - always has been.

 why they will want to do the fork ? they own bitcoin now.
