Also: why is it that the hacker did nothing to profit from this event?

There are ways they/it/them/he/she could've turned this to advantage.
I don't think they are dumb. Doesn't add up.

It took me a while to realize that in the world of crypto I lose more by listening to Hypers than I do by listening to Fudders.
This fact I find so shameful that I had to create a new forum account.

Ever thought about working to grow a community, rather than try to cut others down?

Its a suggestion to try, maybe you can stop losing money.

I understand you feel passionate about Vericoin and feel that what you are doing by waging forum war against what you presume to be Fudders is a good thing. I have been involved in building crypto community and I know what it feels like when things go wrong.

I will lose a lot of money personally in what happened here today and it saddens me, but I like to think that I am not involved here for short term gain but because I see potential for long term gain for everyone.

Part of that gain is not having to rely on central authorities to protect us.
What this would need is a redesigned system that excludes them and middlemen.
This is why I am interested in crypto.
We can build a world where we don't need middlemen, this would be more efficient and more beneficial for everyone.

This event today is not on my roadmap towards this world.
It maintains the status quo of the old.
We are in a race for survival at the moment where all alternative currencies are competing.
A rollback threatens the existence of the whole race.
I will lose money either way and unfortunately so will you. But more importantly, so will everyone potentially in the long run unless this truly is a once-off event never to be replicated.
