Bitcoin has a large lead as a store of value over every altcoin in having existed 8 years without failure. The security of Bitcoin has been proven far more than its much younger counterparts with usage by almost every metric exceeding that of altcoins.

Original: Deutsche Bank: Bitcoin is One of the Greatest Market Threats in 2018.
He's been very busy creating many threads with copied content today.
Copy:
Deutsche Bank has issued a market briefing for 2018. The document, created by Chief International Economist Torsten Slok, lists 30 possible threats that could disrupt global markets next year. Alongside entries like “North Korea” and “Brexit”, is bitcoin. Its inclusion shows the extent to which the banking sector is eyeing the revitalized digital currency. While some institutional investors see bitcoin as an opportunity, many more consider it a threat.

This makes me think your harddrive is "cluster f*cked".
A file can be corrupt in two ways:
1 - The software (in your case bitcoin core) had a failure when writing the file
2 - Your harddrive failed and corrupted the file
In case 1 you can ask for extern help -> copy the file, hand it over and let somebody try to recover it
In case 2 you can NOT ask for extern help by handing out a copy of the file since you can not hand over the harddrive index and cluster build.

Apart from the first sentence copied from the official release statement https://bitcoincore.org/en/2017/11/11/release-0.15.1/
The Bitcoin 0.15.1 released is for an improved and more efficient safety and network enhancement.This release focuses on the safety of the P2P network as a precaution against potential future network forks, as well as bringing bug fixes, optimizations and improvements to the 0.15.x series.There are changes in the way Bitcoin Core deals with peer connections and invalid block as a safety precaution against blockchain forks and misbehaving peers.Peers which provide a chain with less work than the minimum-chain-work during IBD will now be disconnected.

So why this user hasn't been banned yet? I reported him two days ago, and today I see this dude posting again, wtf. I don't particularly care if someone copies someone else's posts (though this doesn't in the least mean that I commend such practice in any possible way), but this is certainly not the case when my own posts get copy-pasted. See below the offending post:

I'm sorry but you grow to be incorrect not only in your findings, however in your premises too, wtf. Naturally, you can produce a appropriate result by offsetting one error with another, but you insist so much around the correctness of the math applied (as though it could fix issues or allow you to escape, huh), so you really haven't any choice within this element. I mean the projection for a century you pointed out, not your theoretical instance, of course (you will not get away with that either)Which is b . s . now, so we do not have to hold back 100 years to really observe that with this personal eye

Copy:
When data compression is used in a data transmission application,the goal is speed. Speed of transmission depends upon the number of bits sent,the time required for the encoder to generate the coded message and the time required for the decoder to recover the original ensemble. In a data storage application,Although the degree of compression is the primary concern,it is nonetheless necessary that the algorithm be efficient in order for the scheme to be practical.
Copy:
As discussed in the Introduction,data compression has wide application in terms of information storage,including representation of the abstract data type string and file compression.Huffman coding is used for compression in several file archival systems [ARC 1986; one of the adaptive schemes to be discussed in Section 5.An adaptive Huffman coding technique is the basis for the compact command of the UNIX operating system.
one could expect to see even greater use of variable-length coding in the future.

Nah, you do not have to worry about your BTC getting halved or that it will somehow be reduced to create these other coins.
I think there are a lot of people who are getting this wrong and are totally confused with all the FUD that are being spread.
Your original bitcoins are safe, just keep the private key secret and wait for the fork. After the fork, you will have coins from
the new fork too... You can sell or keep those coins, if you have sole control over your private key. Some people store their
bitcoins in services where these services have control over your private key and they can decide what they want to do with
those forked coins.

Bitcoin itself as a protocol will evolve. Many people forget the simple fact that it is a protocol first and the money part just happens to be the first app written over it. Think of it like the Netscape browser written for (predominantly) HTTP. It was good at its time, but then other browsers took the mantle and Netscape was dethroned. The same analogy
could apply to bitcoins (the money). It could be dethroned and for all we know Dogecoin or Litecoin could prevail.

The University of Melbourne, a public Australian university, has become the first academic institution in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region to issue recipient-owned academic credentials on a blockchain.
Following an early pilot first revealed in May, the University of Melbourne is now storing and issuing student records on a blockchain where recipients will be able to access their academic credentials on a mobile application. The open-source mobile app, available for iOS and Android, will facilitate students to store and share their academic credentials, the university announced.
Professor Gregor Kennedy, pro-vice chancellor of teaching and learning at the university revealed the institution is “very excited that its exploration of a new way of providing students with credentials was successful.”.
He added:
While we are entirely committed to existing degrees and awards that the University offers, we are also interested in exploring how we can build a more diverse credentialing ecosystem…Issuing credentials on the blockchain is a key component of this investigation.

On June 12, 2017, an Ethereum based called Bancor held its ICO. It raised $153 million in 3 hours. No, you are not reading it wrong, 153 million…..in 3 hours!!!
If that doesn’t get your brain melting, then how about this? The BAT ICO $35 million in 30 seconds!!! That’s near $1.2 million per second! And if that still doesn’t get your jaw dropping, then how about this? Have you heard of UET? UET had an ICO which raised $40,000 in just 3 days. Admirable if not particularly mind-blowing. Why do we bring it up after talking about Bancor and BAT?
Well, UET stands for “Useless Ethereum Token”, it is a “joke coin”.
