So, MINT is kinda weak right now and it's probably a good time to strike. Hypothetically, let's say a whale with a lot of MINT and BTC wanted to destroy MINT, what would he have to do? I don't think it is as simple as just dumping MINT into the ground, is it? If the whale were to buy up some BC, then dump on MINT, would that mean the MINT bagholders will drop their holdings and maybe move into BC, thereby pushing BC to the moon? I'm getting the feeling that BC is superior to MINT because we have a better community and better dev, rat4, who looks for problems to fix, whether it benefits BC or not.
No amount of Mint or BTC will destroy this coin. You might be able to lower the price temporarily at massive personal loss, but that's the best you could do. If the POW blocks present an actual security threat, expect a hard fork to no longer accept pow and a move to pure POS. Everyone who sold their mint cheap will cry. Also, BC is not going to the moon sorry to burst your bubble. BC will be under 1000 satoshi this summer.
