Many thanks for the info. Was not aware of this. It will be very interesting to see what happens.
I actually don't hold BTC very often. The value of my Bittrex account is made up from other alt coin investments. But I am wondering now how these will be affected if BTC were to suddenly crash?
Sure, no problem. So far, things seem to be okay, but it will be interesting to see what happens. I'm quite sure the value of altcoins would crash with BTC in the event of catastrophe at least in terms of USD value since their value is tied to BTC's. But if BTC does split, maybe that will cause some changes to that, or maybe ETH will become the leading coin used as a base. Who knows!
