1) Miners attack - inevitably leading to POW change.
Not really inevitably. I would give low chances for that extreme outcome.
After the fork, 2X'ers will dump their BTC stash and dramatically reduce the price
We'll see. Up to now no one put their money where their mouth is.
3) CME is a godsend tool for shorters, and has been engineered to come online just before the fork.(2 days before) It is not good news at the moment.
yes, and this is why I always disagreed with people happy to see big money enter in the scene.
4) BTC may well immediately drop 15% after the fork. It shouldn't 'create value out of thin air' like the Cash fork.
15% would be a small correction. The question is what happens later. But atm I'm quite confident in bitcoin resilience. And similar previous attacks failed utterly.
The easiest attack for them is just creating empty blocks
I'm always been in favor of invalidating empty blocks. And now there are more reasons to do it.
6) The new difficulty algorithm in BCash becomes active a 2 days before the fork, again this has been engineered to ensure BCash can efficiently steal mining power from other chains.
They keep that trash alive just by a korean exchange which must be JihadWu's playground. BCH is a zombie coin whose expiry date is near.
they are un-predicatble because, as in a war, they depend of the tactics employed by the opposition. It all depends on the mind of the enemy, something you can't really know for sure.
The point is what is their objective. Since they cannot seriously believe that their alt would keep the bitcoin value they must be in just for the destruction, sponsored by TPTB behind the scene.

+1. But do not count on being able to buy back your btc cheaper. I would dump only what I can afford to forget about.
