Although there are many ETH, USDT and other currencies to trade for, fact is the majority of altcoin transactions are made via BTC.
Which means we're looking at something akin to "a complete and total shutdown of all altcoins from transacting via bitcoin until we figure out what the hell is going on!"
Political comedy gold aside, what does that say about the centralized power of one coin? Even in this gorgeous new era of blockchain technology, the trials and tribulations of a single coin still have the ability to take the majority of the entire crypto market offline due to (essentially) regularly scheduled maintenance.
tl;dr: how's the world gonna get their CoffeeCoin fix while ya can't move anything through Bitcoin for a month?
ETH replaces BTC in the next 90 days as BTC splits into BTC Legacy and BTC Unlimited
Thats my prediction brotha
