>--Wants to fix it with a hardfork

That does not explain why He still won't adopt Segwit (the network upgrade that recently took place) on his sites coinbase.com and Gdax, which allows for 4MB blocks and cheaper transactions for his customers, in a backwards-compatible way (a Soft fork). Instead pushes for a second fork, a "hard fork", which would require every user in the ecosystem to switch to a new software (who's author is pushing an ICO coin sale of his own!). A fork which every single bitcoin developer (except the ICO-guy who hasn't contributed in 2 years) strongly opposes.

Yes, not surprising that he blogs about Ether and owns more Ether and profits when people trade their Bitcoin into Ether on his sites. Same with the other big "2x" pusher who runs "Shapeshift" a site that turns your bitcoin into other coins and takes a cut%. These guys don't want to help bitcoin, they want to make money off the cryptocurrency space.
