sure, if you own a website you can do whatever you want, it's yours, you make the rules...

The question is not will ETC die or will it coexist with ETH. The question is will ETH die alone or will it die together with all other cryptos.

I beleive too many people didn't understand why we can be sure that there will never be more than 21M BTC. Thanks to this fork I hope some begin to realize that. Blockchains cannot be destroyed, ETC shows us that. If somebody forks Bitcoin to e.g increase coinsupply, because blah, blah... the economy needs that, I will stay on the old chain, and will see which BTC people prefer to accept. But there's no need to wait for that to happen. Something similar is happening right now. ETH suffered a "fiating" hardfork. If it succeeds, we can expect more such hardforks including those changing emission rate, all of them of course for the sake of public good. And If it can be done in #2 crypto, why couldn't it be done in Bitcoin as well? Bribe, threaten core devs, prominent public figures and their families and they will shape public opinion in favor of the fork. Only wider community can resist, and if the unforked chain survives it can be adopted again later as the main chain.
The only strong argument in this article is: what you would do if say 50% of all coinsupply is stolen. In that case your coin is dead anyway. And BTW for a hacker it's unwise to steal as much money as that, unless the purpose is to kill the coin, because if you own all the money, nobody will play with you, most people will refuse to accept your tokens as money.

If you are long-term ETH investor, you should be grateful to ETC - it gives your investments a chance to survive. ETH is doomed anyway, too many people understand what happened and won't touch anything running on the forked chain.

One of the first giveaways of a scam or something being hidden is the lack of negative comments. Every company no matter how good has negative comments it is very suspicious when there are no complaints. I would never trust any company that has no complaints it just doesn't add up. A complaint is not going to make me less likely to follow buy or invest in something.

but if it was a news website they should atleast keep the reliability and writing down the fact,people's criticize doesn't matter because people have freedom of speech,but seems they just preventing any kind of threat that could potentially make them go to bad situation

people have reported before that Coindesk censors the comments on their site. so this is nothing strange in my opinion. they may be protecting some interest of their own by blocking anything remotely negative about anything they don't like!

So basically that's like bitcointalk without the rules ? If mods agree with the post ,they can keep it otherwise,in case op the OP,they would delete the post since its offending their terms and regulations laid by the person who paid them to promote ETH on their website ? Someone earlier told me the same thing,seems legit.There is no harm in the post anyway,the only reason a mod can remove that post is when he doesn't agree with it or maybe personal grudges with the poster.

Coindesk comments are moderated, you need for moderator to check comments and approve, that may take some time.

Two things can happen: Ethereum survives and Ethereum dies:
1) Ethereum survives. By "survives" I mean survives for at least several months - a year and keeps it's current marketcap measured in BTC or gains even more marketcap. So the precedent is indeed set. It takes some time, but it will be realized, that all guarantees, such as: freedom from censorship, finite supply of tokens, prespecified emission rate, that people love so much about public blockchains can be modified, altered, canceled. Without those guarantees cryptocurrencies are useless. All cryptos die, including Ethereum and Bitcoin. Game over.

2) Ethereum dies. By "dies" I mean looses most of it's marketcap measured in BTC. Cryptocommunity learns another lesson: while it's possible to violate economically meaningful blockchain rules with a hardfork, it causes it's death. Cryptocurrencies continue to evolve. The game continues.
