Strap on your crypto helmet! :)

Imagine all the new people who have just bought btc within few months. Welcome to the wild ride.

I kind of figured a well orchestrated attack, by some of the biggest players in the field could easily wipe out Bitcoin if they so chose to do so, but sadly... no one new may ever join the investment ranks after this little stunt.

Roger Ver is said to have 100k bitcoins and he has now moved 25k of it to Bitfinex for whatever reason. Whales are making their moves.

Roger and his cronies are going to trade all of their Bitcoins in for BTrash, so the market is going to get a little bit more crazy before it gets better, but... Satoshi probably kept all of his Bitcoin all these years just in case this happened, and is going to sell all of his BTrash to get back at them.

Why would you call it BTrash? Isn't Bitcoin cash what Satoshi himself visioned in the whitepaper - aka increasing block limit as needed and not artificially limiting it to 1mb?

Exactly!I'm one from the Dash side of things. But I've had lots of respect for Roger. He seems a genuine good guy who is sensible unlike the Bitcoin devs and fanboys who are toxic bunch of egomaniacs.
I've extensively expressed my opinion here:https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@vimukthi/bitcoin-fees-triple-under-a-week-while-dash-makes-itself-10-times-cheaper-my-discovery-of-a-secret-device-to-store-the-entire

I've supported BCH from the beginning on the basis that it's the real Bitcoin. I love Dash because it's already planning for 400MB blocks and it's without any such drama.

400mb sounds huge. What are the current sizes of the blocks over there?

2MB
The block size is a total non-issue blown out of proportion. https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@vimukthi/bitcoin-fees-triple-under-a-week-while-dash-makes-itself-10-times-cheaper-my-discovery-of-a-secret-device-to-store-the-entire
Also there is Dash labs developing specified hardware to improve the experience and avoid possible draw backs in the future. Dash develops the tech instead of holding back their coin.

45% of block reward is split between masternodes. So masternodes will never complain about increasing expenses as they are paid by the network for their commitment. That's how true capitalism work. Incentives instead of force or shaming or other commie tactics.
