BU is not an attack on Bitcoin, it is an attack on the Core developers and an attempt to fork it all away from them.

BU is not an attack on core devs, so much as it is an end-around of the braindead policy of not doing a simple increase to maxblocksize. Last year even. Core devs get to set their own policy. But core is not the entirety of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is permissionless. BU has exactly as much authority as does core. Core devs can also be left bereft when the majority decides bigger blocks are what is needed now.

In the end, the market will determine the direction Bitcoin turns - toward core, BU, another, or on the path of status quo.

BU is not an attack on Bitcoin, it is an attack on the Core developers and an attempt to fork it all away from them. The article was written from a big blocker's perspective and it is a very biased one at that. Read the part "dissenters". The dissenters would depend on which side you are asking.

So be very careful and try to think for yourself and always listen to both sides of the argument.

I admire your objectivity in this whole thing. Most people (including myself) tend to get polarized to a position and then start to look for evidence to support their position while ignoring/denying evidence to the contrary.

Segwit is the Trojan Horse that will allow Bankers using LN to Bankrupt the Miners.

BTU is the only salvation for the ASICS Miners & BTC Transactions problems,

since BTC Core only works for bankers now and won't just increase blocksize or make a faster blockspeed to decrease transaction fees.

I would argue that, after some of the more recent revelations of the motivations that the BU devs have and their plan for BU in the future, Bitcoin Unlimited is most definitely an attack on the nature of Bitcoin and potentially on the entire network should most of their plans come to pass in the way they are describing them.

Since Segwit is the only other viable option, I would encourage other devs to front other ways so that we can have some competition and make sure the network gets the best.

you could say:
BU is an attack on BitcoinCore

i think that might be a fair assessment.

BU shouldn't be considered as an attack. It is just a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, just like Segwit is also a BIP.

I did not consider this as an attack to Bitcoin, but surely it will affect the bitcoin . It is a branching out of bitcoin and like ETC or the Ethereum Classic its just like another cryptocurrency to me. I do not know what will happen in the future, but I wish the success of this BTU BTC hard fork initiative. I hope it will change the way we expect with bitcoins. If its only the same and no change, this is another crap.

At the start i was exited about BU but when time passed i see BU as a disgusting hostile take over.

From the article it's clear that the recent cause of price drop is just a planned attack. From every angle a perfect plan has been executed, which was also now overcome by the potentially growing bitcoin.
