Yes, it is amazing. Happens in politics all the time and people don't care - not till they look at barb wire from the wrong side, anyway.
Maybe they do care once their income drops to zero.

Last time I checked Ghash doesn't actually take a fee so I wouldn't say they don't care, it's more of the fact they don't care enough for them to skip that extra 2% or whatever other pools charge them. It is rather surprising that they don't see it as potentially a threat that could make their hardware useless (as far as earning money goes) but probably they're thinking that everyone else will switch and they can continue to mine feeless.

Not sure, but the crash last night was probably caused by this (unless we think it was the Expedia news
). That was way more than 2% loss for any miner who sells immediately. So this behavior already caused a loss.It gets interesting when Expedia and others announce that they changed their minds about Bitcoin because they no longer deem Bitcoin secure.
