ABC is the biggest threat to BTC - with ABC's upgrade BCH will make BTC look like a sad joke.

Wrong. ABC is the biggest attack on BCH yet. SV is the correct path

How is improved propagation that benefits all miners an attack?

Even the correct path can be incorrect when you're shackled for the duration.

Why?

ABC is introducing dangerous new opcodes.
Simon Van Gelder
replied 2207d
Dangerous to whom?
replied 2207d
Dangerous to your coin. Since these new opcodes directly enable oracles, the coin is vulnerable to regulatory attacks. The value of coins is then at stake.

It is not my coin: it is *our* coin

Enabling oracles does not require their usage: I do not see how an attack on that vector would succeed.

The value of coins is always at stake.

- Our, yours, mine, same.
- Not that different to how EtherDelta went down and SatoshiDice
- The bigger the danger, the lesser the coin value

It is very different. If you send coins to a regulated (read junk) exchange, you may get junk (read regulated) coins back. OP_CHECKDATASIGVERIFY Et al. enables unregulated exchanges.

Here you go. I prefer worldwide expansion to constant fights with regulators. Also it brings back the stigma that bitcoin is for illegal activities. This lowers the price. No thanks.

BTC ALREADY looks like a sad joke compared to BCH as it stands.

It's a magic circle, the BTC is the most valuable because it has the most hashpower because it's the most valuable, which gives it value - at least in the current market.
