It's funny how they just decide to add a 1 In front of the price.
Either they accidentally put in $800 and meant $1800 and took them a few days to notice.
Or they read everyone saying how it was "cheap" and they decided to raise the price.
I don't think it was the ETH statement. We all knew they wouldn't fork anyways .
They made it look like it was a typo but it was never a typo, it was greedy, the truth is they updated the price to look like a typo
after the eth dev meeting. bitmain is close to have 51% attack on eth network. If it happens to eth then it will teach eth devs a lesson but i believe bitmain will not do it cause they got the green light from eth devs to keep using their f3. I believe that is why eth devs did not want to change, afraid bitmain 51% attack. eth devs deep know they cant counter the f3 which is 10x the hashrate of the e3 and because of that hashrate and since bitmain and co hold all eth asics yet, is easy to do the 51% attack.
