Not going to lie, I am feeling a bit worried about their hash share despite being an ultra-bull
Obviously a 51% share would probably lead to some kind of sell-off, but can we expect something as low as 49%?

happened many times before, it's not a concern. We've been through this many times.

So sane miners switched pools when it reached 45% last time - how close to 51% is it going to get this time before they switched?

how many times must this happen before other pools offer the same features as GHASH?

Miners will panic and move their hardware over to another pool, ghash falls back down to not a threat, then it happens all over again (unless somebody makes a better pool). Not gonna do anything to the price

51% exactly, nothing less. But it would only cause big price falls when ghash execute the attack..

And we are now at 50% and the switch has not yet happened I'm curious as to what you think the motivation of these miners would be to crash bitcoin with a 51% attack? these guys make a lot of money doing essentially nothing, you think they'd just destroy that system and throw all their money into the fire? for what? just to say haha we killed bitcoin? there has to be a motive, and the only logical one would be all the miners decided they'd rather be poor. i don't see it.

Whatever. And no you haven’t been in bitcoin since 2010. Plus if you really feel the way you do. Then sell. Have conviction. If not keep pounding sand.
