BCASH update
Ver moved coins to bitfinex, looks like he was sell small pieces in 2000 btc blocks. It'd be plain stupid to sell all his BTC. There is no question about which coin will "win" he must know that or he's stupid.

Jihan tweeted a few times telling bcash community to be nice to other altcoins. I asked if he'd commit his anti-competitive patents to a defensive patent pool like BS, but no answer.
