Since Bitcoin's inception, supporters have always understood that it may come under attack by the most powerful (and resourceful) entities in the world. Each new attack just means one thing... We're still going in the right direction.

Personally, I believe that there are multitudes of attacks being done behind the scenes to destroy not just Bitcoin, but the whole crypto-system. Bitcoin is obviously the main target since it is the first of it's name, and BCH continues from the original ledger to be the original concept of Bitcoin (despite the miners who have an inability to act against perceived authority). This has shown a weakness in Bitcoin. If miners cannot think/act for themselves, then we are doomed. This is just one attack vector amongst hundreds more, and we have to accept that vulnerability and find a way to address it whilst still allowing miners to actually vote/shift to that which they truly support.

Bitcoin threatens the entire world economy. The money of every government. Of every dictatorship. Every bad actor in this world with money to lose.

Do not be disheartened by the nature of disruptive, decentralized technology being under attack. When the attacks stop, then we should be concerned.
