Looking at it that way maybe Vitalik now feels very regretful and dirty for doing the hard fork. He has stained his career and his reputation in the cryptosphere. Now what will happen to the slockit team? They are the ones who started and developed the DAO.

What is going on in the Ethereum community? What are the miners saying? They will be the key to victory. The supporters of ETC must appeal to them to find it in their hearts to do the right thing.

Hello Minecache!

I am only joking. But anyway that does not make sense. Why would you buy all ETC and sell the rest and then burn the others? What are you hoping to achieve? It will not destroy the chain. It is already living without the Ethereum foundation which is in a better position now. Developers from bitcoin will now finally have the opportunity to develop in it without intervention from an authority.

I have pointed out this before that we can use the price of NXT as a barometer to measure the interest in Ardor. If there is not much demand in NXT then we can see that not many people are interested in Ardor. Right now we are seeing that the NXT community got in to buy and hold NXT. We still have not seen outside the NXT community because there is not much chatter in the forum about Ardor. Everyone is busy talking about ETC and before that STEEM.

Only if they had ETH stored at Poloniex before the hard fork right? Unless I am mistaken.

I don't think the foundation store all their ETH in an exchange.

I have a question. If the support on Ethereum fork goes down and the miners start going back to the original Ehtereum classic, what now will the position of the Ethereum foundation be? Will they still be the ones deciding on what the road map of the platform is? Will the community still listen to them?

Yes he has money. That is very pitiful. If you ask why I say this, I will ask you "Where is his soul?"

He is being used by the people around him. The moment the Ethereum fork goes down, they will all leave Vitalik out in the cold.

Yes in the gambling world they call it the scared money. These types of gamblers are the ones that always lose which is very ironic because they are very timid.

Yes. For Holm it would be better for her to have 1 or 2 easy fights before she continues for the quest for the belt. She is already drained mentally having lost two tough match ups in a row. Those were fights she could have won. The first one she made a mistake and got submitted the second one is another mistake for her lack of aggression. Very sad to see.

In this fight I predict that it won't last the usual 5 rounds with Lawler. I really feel that the strategy Woodley would use is to rush Lawler and knock him out with strikes. My question is does Lawler have a sturdy chin? Can he take the power right hand punch of Tyron?

But why would you avoid something that you like doing? If you deny your impulses, you deny what makes you human. I think it is ok to gamble but follow a strategy to avoid or make risk taking smaller.

"But let’s make it clear that we (the ethereum developers) have never abandoned the old chain. We never forked the chain. We have implemented a switch in our client to give users a choice to fork if they want to and that’s all. The "Ethereum Classic" chain is just as much our child as the forked one, and if both of them survive (which is the users’ choice, not ours), then I intend to take care of them equally in the future too."

There might be people in Vitalik's inner circle that does not agree in the hard fork. If those people leave where will they run? Yes, the original Ethereum chain. It is the one immutable, original, real chain. I fear for him because when everyone is truly shaken they might throw him out in the cold.

Did anyone try to communicate with the attacker? I think it is a wise thing to do if you want stability and security for the original chain. He has a degree of power on the platform and it would be ideal if he comes out and communicates to the ETC supporters what are his motives and his plans.

Yes. You say this and that but why am I hearing that the original Ethereum classic will become available at Bitfinex? That is one of the largest exchanges and it is no joke to be listed there. You underestimate the gravity of the situation. There is a chance that a majority of people will switch to the original if it will serve their self interest.

Would it be a possible scenario for the attacker to buy ETH with his ETC in Poloniex and then dump the ETH for BTC? There is this possibility that the attacker is not after pure profit but is after the Ethereum fork because he wants to prove a point. He could be a bitcoin loyalist and wants to show Vitalik who is the boss.

I know this is a good news for some. But the bad news is Ethereum classic's mining hashrate is going down. If the exchanges commit to this and list it, they should provide mining power too. It will be useless to offer this vulnerable coin for trading.

If he is losing weight it might be all the stress that is the cause of it. He is now the center of attraction and he is being pressured by the people around him to do the hard fork. After everything I speculate that Vitalik will take a long break from cryptocurrencies and let someone take over.

Some use dogecoins because they are a medium of transferring value from one exchange to another. The fee is cheaper and the confirmations are faster. I think this is good if it is only for small amounts. Maybe in the future the users will handle bigger and bigger amounts.

The people that are aware of the real situation will vote for the original Ethereum classic. But the winner will be the fork because they have the money and have the backing of the companies who have interests of profit with Vitalik and his group.

It will begin like a joke. Then it will happen for real. Then forks will become an actual standard. Then blockchains will become a joke.
