You are an idiot. It's called insider trading, and yes I believe they will tank the price short term to increase their holdings to maximize their long term profit.

>> No.2815229

wrong...

the traders are the ones who have the power to go short, or pull out their money from the system

the miners are trapped in their long positions.
they have huge $ investments in hardware that cannot be "pulled out"

BTC splits into BTC and BCC (bitmain)

Jihad does not want any competition. So he activates his stealth army of miners and 51% attacks Bitcoin, breaking it.

He then says "look, only BCC is safe. We have the power to protect it and keep your money safe. It is the real bitcoin" and most people go along with it because they only care about making money.

If BTC and BCC split, BCC will see BTC as a direct competitor and do everything in their power to destroy it, even at the cost of short term uncertainty and price drops.
