yese I lost a tansaction today. The last time that happened was 12/22/16 and I sold every bitcoin I had into Dash. (which made me a millionaire). Bitcoin is broken.
Now, we see which of the two camps forked bitcoin will not be broken.
For that reason, Bitcoind dropped 1700? and bch went up to 2000 (from $290 a few days ago)

note that bitcoin's security is still fine, you just can't spend it right now.
