It'd be plain stupid to sell all his BTC. There is no question about which coin will "win" he must know that or he's stupid. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7cefom/roger_ver_just_sent_25k_btc_to_bitfinex/ Jihan tweeted a few times telling bcash community to be nice to other altcoins. I asked if he'd commit his anti-competitive patents to a defensive patent pool like BS, but no answer. --- Thank you bitcoin
