Title: reorg
Post by: beaxchange on May 23, 2019, 11:41:43 AM
In the tweet on May 7th, Zhao mentioned that Binance had decided against a reorg, but then briefly pro-conned the situation.

On the pro side, by implementing a reorg, Binance could punish the hackers by moving the fees onto them. This would also act as a deterrent against future attacks, and would also test the reaction of the Bitcoin network to a reorg event.

On the con side, Zhao acknowledged that a reorg event might damage Bitcoin?s credibility, as well as potentially causing a permanent split in not only the Bitcoin blockchain but in the cryptocurrency community too.

how should we all think of it as a community  ???
