So with only 4000 BTC you can execute an attack that disconnects all Windows clients at once. The attack takes 14 days to be prepared, so that gives enough time for users to upgrade (or if the core dev develops a patch fast enough)

This is the cheapest attack to the whole network ever seen.

2 days later

Over 4k BTC bought in one shot

Coincidence?
