What if the supposed "bitcoin maximalists" or whoever profits from creating chaos within ethereum replies with their own eth51 attack pool? I wonder if there'd be enough bitcoin GPU miners to create some real chaos or if most people/pools have made the move to ASICs.

If eth's value and market cap continue to go up, with the bitcoin reward halving AND PoS incoming, ethereum sure could be a threat to their business model since they won't be able to move from btc to eth mining if btc eventually becomes less worthy of mining.

Creating serious trouble or FUD on eth MAY be in their best interests.
