As for me, I don't care about guy making FUD. But he is right in one thing - hardfork is bad idea.
And as I said before...
When 50 000 000 NXT was stolen nobody made a hardfork. But it was 3355.73 BTC or roughly USD $1,701,015.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/breaking-bter-hacked-50m-nxt-stolenAlso there was a community vote and discussion.
Or $534 million in NEM.
And there are a lot of other examples without hardfork.
You talk about decentralization and anonymization, but you take the sole decision about the hardfork. It does not work like this.
And what is very strange in this situation is that the 51 % attack and the wallet stolen occurred right before the release of the pool. So suddenly and unexpectedly.
Yes, now are stable. We will release this night referral experimental program for preparing the main release.
We're working to finish pools this week for the official pools with referral release and bounty program and this month the first exchange should be here too.
As you can see in next 12-24 hours pool had to be started.
And boooom. Attack and stolen. I do not believe in such coincidences.
Also if you fixed all issues, where is the pool, referral program ?)
Something is not right here happening.
First, you gave a few examples where they chose to accept loses and gave up. I could give you an example involving ETC and ETH where a hard fork was done, ETC is the classic..you can compare market cap and draw conclusions from that.
Next, just because they were delayed and now analyzing data in order to provide it to the authorities will delay them a bit more, doesn't mean that pools and road map in general will not be delivered afterwards.
You are right, something not right has happen, and the responsible for this attack will be held accountable for their actions.
