1BTC = 2BTC soon
After this crash XT fork is basically dead. I doubt Core devs will even discuss whatever block size increase now.
I've been following in the shadows for months now, the block size debate is not going to stop just like that, it is a real issue that needs a permanent solution, in fact I think the heat of this debate will increase in the next following weeks. For now XT seems to be the only real solution available, all the sidechains and lightening talk is not so "productive", these can't be solutions while they are just theoretical...
many don't understand that the new code in XT will be active only if 75% of the network actually runs it (beside the planned fork time)... but anyhow, how the fork will effect the price? of course there will be some panic like always, and the price might go down, but I don't think Bitcoin will be dead, in my opinion a fork means that we still can do things to improve Bitcoin and make adaptable for mass adoption,
a planned fork is not that bad in my opinion.... just to remind people here, this is not the first Bitcoin fork, in 2013 we had an accidental fork, trading and all transaction were halted for 48 hours... and before that there was a bug in the code that allowed for massive Bitcoin generation that was also fixed by a fork, so I don't see why a planned fork is more dangerous than an accidental one?!
BTW, Today I saw a block that was found by an XT client( Slush's pool using v3 already), this means miners are switching slowly and many nodes did switch as well, and Chinese miners said that they support the new block size so there you got a massive user base switching, it is only about time...
