joulesbeef, I want a serious, yes or no answer here.
Would you rather have these attacks happen now, when a BTC is worth ~$5 scammy forks are worth 0.00x BTC, or would you rather have the attacks happen when BTC has achieved mainstream use and 1 BTC = ~$10,000 scammy forks may worth 0.x BTC?

He isn't talking about attacks on BITCOIN, but on forks.
Ya but the attacks on all alt chains give insight for bitcoin's protection. Duh!
