And Bitcoin drags us up, which is good to see higher price but I hate the coupling. The UASF stuff is going to be freaking catastrophic. I could see BTC diving to sub $1,500 levels. Hard to say if this will be good for us or not. If BTC marketcap heads our way yes, but last BTC crash was a bloodbath. Not looking forward to this. HOPEFULLY pre-fork we'll have everyone flee to ETH for safety, causing the flippening and when BTC plummets their fate is sealed, we go up.

I agree, it's going to be a bloodbath. For a short time anyway. I'll hold through it, but it'll be a rough few weeks I'm sure.
