8btc news will be on site to report the event live during the whole process and will ask questions to collected from home and abroad to make the meet-up more interactive.

The meet-up of Bitcoin Core comes at a fitting time. Several days ago Jiang Zhuoer’s article As a China Mining Pool Owner, Why I am a Hardcore Opponent to SegWit has triggered harsh heated discussion in the Chinese community and Reddit. Mow quickly took move to hold an AMA to face almost all questions and even said “BU are terrible and BU know nothing about coding while Corm members are good at coding.” Mow also note he will support onchain scaling and bigger blocksize if needed. (see Samson Mow’s AMA on 8btc: BU are Terrible and We Do Support Onchain Scaling)

But there are still people who think Mow’s answers are vague and commercial and thus still won’t by Mow’s story.

Jihan Wu even said on twitter BTCC is the worst trusted exchange in China during Mow’s AMA period.

Now it’s time for Core members to meet questions themselves, Can they prove they are really better than BU ?
