OK, as a non-expert, all of this controversy re the future of Bitcoin comes perilously close to discouraging use of BTC...

"Confidence makes a currency."

All of this talk of forks, selling BTC by well-known names, etc. is likely to lead to loss of confidence in Bitcoin. Maybe those intimately involved with BTC development might not see this, but a loss of confidence among the general public (better said: casual users of BTC) will be a serious blow to confidence.

Loss of confidence would cause me (and many others I would guess) to SELL my Bitcoin.

I agree with you, this is just showing how chaotic bitcoin development is, and it sure as hell doesnt bring new people in.

Too late, mate. Happened already. Can only be contained now. I for one sold already because i thought the exact same thing. Only a fool is buying Bitcoin in the current climate. NO DEMAND FOR BITCOIN!
People will go to Dash and Litecoin or what ever they think is reasonable.

It's quite possible that the price decline is just starting. Forking bitcoin due to good reason is ok, but forking it withouth agreeing on what fork to follow is terrible.
This why common people fear bitcoin.
