RE: BBT's Speculation on what occurred with BTC / BCH 11/12/2017
Sometimes you have to speak up, especially when it's something like this that not only can damage BTC, but all crypto.
Everyone knows Jihan and Roger forked so they could keep ASICBOOST going, but I don't think anyone could foresee what they tried to pull this weekend, unless that pastebin not was real.
Pumping was one thing, but flooding the mempool and pulling hash rate was straight up attack on BTC and core. I expect they will do it again as soon as they have the chance. We most definitely have not seen the last of it.
I find in awfully convenient that there was a magic kill switch in ETH's Parity's mutlisig wallet that no one broke for months that was magically broken a week before the 2x drama took off.
No one reported it? Exploited it? Nothing?
Week before one of the highest drama weeks in Bitcoin ETH would have seemed like a good lifeboat to sit out the BTC drama.
BAM!
The plant hits Parity kill switch and Coindesk re reports the same FUD story like 4 days in a row.
Convenient.
