Sure, but that is still a costly one-time attack. It only affects those who transfer coins, not those who hold them. So if you're holding wealth, it will be safe. It will certainly tank te price for a little bit, but the market will readjust based on the probability that it will happen again. And the theory is that miners would need to choose between spending $180k to execute this attack for a couple hours, causing relatively little damage, or just mining BCH faster than anyone else, which would increase their real-world bottom line. The only one to do this consistently would be a government, probably. It's hard to imagine someone willingly burning $200k mostly for lulz. But I suppose BTC millionaires have more than enough, if they wanted to. Also, why was this article flagged? That's frustrating. It was technical and informative. I don't see a vouch button either.
