Frankly, the situation has gotten ridiculous and I don't see this schism getting resolved any time soon. The amount of sheer stupidity, toxicity and a lack of reason is off the charts, and merely following what's going on in Bitcoin these days will give me an ulcer.

I've decided to plug out for six months, stay away from all Bitcoin related news and forums, avoid checking the price, and let the chips fall where they may. I'm still in the black and I've taken a bit of profits in order to reduce my risk, but I'll keep the bulk of my holdings intact.

In six months, Bitcoin might be a different currency run by a centralized group of people, possibly on a different chain, in which case I'll liquidate the rest of my holdings because it will have proven to me that cryptocurrencies are easy to hijack, and therefore a non-viable concept. Or it still might be the same old honey badger, laughing at its detractors and doing better than ever.

Either way, I'm done with this cancer. See you in six months and godspeed.
