Arlight, alright ... already on my way to stock up altcoins and cash in parts of my btc. Thanks for letting me know ...
But if Bitcoin tanks wouldn't it take the alts with it?
Wouldn't think so. Quite the opposite. Depends on why BTC tanks. Does it tank because the BTC community made a mistake, does it tank because of stupidity and groupthink?
I think most alts can process already many times the tps that btc does. So if BTC tanks due to a very unwise hardfork LTC and his friends will go to the moon - they can handle much more txs already.
It's very predictable to me and this year i make a lot of money by just putting money on the alts that have solutions to BTC problems.
Basically alts are the solution to this problem with the throughput of txs - but apparently everyone is blind and biased. There is so much unused free space on all these alternative chains, it's more than anyone could ever use. Why people would want to put BTC at risk with controversial forks is beyond me. It's not rational. If BTC tanks due to such a stuuupid hardfork i'll be rich from altcoins for sure.
If BTC tanks at first alts would tank too but if BTC would be broken beyond possible repair alts would go berserk. BTC failing due to a problem that's not inherent to alts and is specific to BTC alone is the altcoin bagholders wet dream scenario.
