I've remained silent about the whole controversy of mining centralisation, Bitcoin's network congestion, and the possible solutions to the issues users and developers have been facing for a few months now, given the rise in both Bitcoin's value and popularity, and digital currencies as a whole.
One thing that stood out to me was the discovery of Bitmain's ASICBOOST hardware, which exploited the way blocks can be mined. Ironically, it contributed to the congestion of the network as the centralised mining hardware manufacturer was essentially mining blocks with little transactions hashed, despite being rather vocal against the possibility of SegWit, while supporting a hardfork of Bitcoin and block size increase, sheering away from the current 1MB size.
Now that Bitcoin has forked into some useless clone, and Bitcoin awaits SegWit activation, these shady mining farms now have two versions of a digital currency giant to mine; both are being largely backed, so neither will be dying out any time soon.
I think it is obvious who really wins here, and just a hint: it isn't the developers, users, or merchants. It's the miners that produce and sell hardware, and use that hardware for themselves. Bitmain and other mining farms can now push their operations into two versions of Bitcoin; at this point, it is safe to say that they will make a nice profit through both in time.
Before this, there was no other SHA256 coin worth mining. For people like Jihan Wu, this was never about fixing Bitcoin for the masses, it was about broadening their options and generating easy money. This is only one of many steps into the world of centralising Bitcoin mining.
