The funny thing is if an exchange as large as Poloniex isn't taking this stunt seriously then I don't think the rest of the Bitcoin community will actually think much of it. The problem is that MOST of the people who bought Bitcoin have NO understanding of it and they just got into it to make a quick buck. The reality is that this Bitcoin Cash is going to be pretty much worthless in comparison to the real BTC.
