Oh my god what a load of bullshit
This is the speculation sub-forum, lucas. What I wrote certainly may not be true, and I acknowledge that in the original post. But I don't see how this is bullshit. Do you think the great whales of bitcoin want to harm it instead? Perhaps they wouldn't do what I describe, but you must agree that they would act to *support the bitcoin system* because their fates are intertwined.
I think, in line with Speculation sub-forum, that bitcoin is a game to make money. People with a lot of many have a lot of money precisely because they do not stop at some number and always work to get more. A whale with 40k BTC exposure to bitcoin markets movements will do everything to protect their investment.
I think there is people like that around nothing special about it. Just try to imagine yourself in summer of 2010 trying to cooldown your 2x QX9775 in your Intel D5400XS running 24/7 @ 58 Mhs and the picture becomes much clearer. Doesn't it? To protect that kind of investment they will do everything... riiiiiiight...
