My prediction...
Bitcoin will not die, but confidence is intentionally being
Ethereum has been working nonstop on opening gateways world wide to ensure this happens. They will have mining early on to provide an out for the miners who feel they may lose their asses. Mining operations will rejoice that they can mine the "Oil to bitcoin's Gold" while Bitcoin is faultering.
Let's see how right (or wrong) I am. Definitely interested in everyone else's perspective though.
Bottom line, The Federal Reserve and by association the big banks are very aware of Bitcoin. I therefore with trillions at their disposal think they are not going to walk on by as Bitcoin grows into a new financial order. We should assume they have a plan of attack.
If I wanted to be paranoid I would say big players like Microsoft and even the FED have Bitcoin to dump the market lower as it wishes and yes Etherum in my mind stinks of the banks trying to slip their system past Bitcoin. Very good point.
I hope people on here won't touch Etherum. It's simply the new way your keepers are planning on i enslaving you and your children.
