If you purchase the DAO in Poloniex, after the hard fork, those DAO will be converted back to Ethereum.

The DAO price has already risen. In poloniex, the DAO price is 0.96% of the Etheruem, not far away from 1%.

believe in the ETH and DAO.

I doubt that a hard fork will just happen because people think it is too profitable. What I do agree with is once the devide is crossed and the rabbit hole is entered, there is no turning back and the potential of more hard forks is there that business must be aware of. What is the truth today might not be tomorrow if the powers at be decide so for some reason, which has to be factored into a risk assessment.

wow...

imagine if eth really really goes 3 digit...   

What if some folks continue mining and using the original Ethereum? For whatever reasons. We'll have two coins under the same name.

becoin, some would disagree , majority voted to hf because someone violated spirit of the DAO. It was an act that was not in the best interest of a majority of DAO holders. Therefore they wont let it stand. Again, "hacker" knows more about workings of DAO than most people ( at most 500 people worldwide could've accomplished DAO hack...probably less) He/she/they knew they would never be able to use those DAO tokens and therefore simultaneously opened massive short positions of bitfinex. That's where profit was made

It would probably take atleast 10 minutes for investigators to figure out who the shorter is.


Has anyone even reported this crime?

lol no none has reported it
they say "the code" is  the judge the law and the executor,
no investigation was done
 
big money was lost becose of lausy code .
what i know are most of the "solvers" invested means they are among them who might lose if there is no HF



welcome brave new world order

do you know if there is a legal problem for exchanges ? after the fork ?
