[Bitcoin-segwit2x] F2Pool backing out of NYA - Fork still happening?

[Cedrick Perrigo]

Lmao. What's the usefulness to tell the opinions of some exchanges that has market share of 0.00% according to CoinMarketCap? We probably should take considerations of the majority first like Coinbase, ShapeShift and others, who needs to take care of millions of its own users.

In the mean time, no offense to them, but as a really small business, you would have nothing to lose even when you pick the wrong side. The smaller you are, the easier you can be brought by Blockstream to follow its propaganda.
