Man this risk has always been omnipresent and until we get as many devices into the wild protecting our network it remains.
Sure we know the risk is there. That's not what I'm wondering about.
What I'm wondering about is if people would hold on to their original strategy and see their orders through, or respond to the dilution risk right away, which, de facto, means "leave bitcoin behind."
My opinion? Many, if not most, would hold. Not because they're stupid, but because they want to mine. The same reason people will hold on to their BFL orders until they ship or BFL fails.
I've been involved with work that people enjoy and build a community round before.
People do things because they enjoy them. People do things for money.
If the money moves away, people still continue doing what they enjoy.
Bitcoin is a movement, sure there is greed trying to earn a quick buck.
In essence as much as media and delays have meant more people getting on board.
Delays and skepticism have actually helped.
It shakes out those looking to turn a quick profit.
If the greed succeeds, the love will die and people will stop supporting the movement and turn to another...
Greed will be short lived, unless it gets that quick buck.
Integrity depends on the company you back, and how they treat you...
