Only because of Antpool and the other major Chinese mining pools like BTC.TOP and Via. I have a feeling Bitmain/Antpool may pull out of the Segwit2x and support BCC. If that happens, we're looking at major market disruption.
I personally can't fathom why Jihan would go along with Segwit2x knowing that once segwit gets activated, core and other pools have three months to come up with all kinds of creative ways undermine the 2mb HF in November.
A plausible theory may be that Jihan and the other pro-big-block pools are planning on switching support to a fork with much larger blocks 8mb+.
I can't fathom why anyone would want segwit corrupting the blockchain unless they were being paid some of that 75 million from Blockstream.
Why are you even answering if you downvote everhthing?:D
Yep, that would centralize even more power in their hands. Do you guys know, that every antminer has a backdoor?

It basically means that Jihan can switch off any miner if he decides to. Either you obey or your $$$ investment is worth nothing.
That's why we have UASF and that's why we're gonna have SegWit. China can have 100% control over their China Bitcoin Cash, but not over the real Bitcoin.
I'm fairly certain that Antbleed was just propaganda. Why? Because that propaganda page was launched anonymously!

Someone didn't want his miner to be switched off... But who knows for sure, probably Jihan himself only. Yet it's hard to argue that his antminers have majority in the Bitcoin hashrate.
The same BS was also used to sell the ASICboost as some kind of undisputed fact, when in fact there is no hard evidence that Bitmain has ever used the covert form on the Bitcoin mainnet. Zero empirical evidence!
