It's the beginning of the end. The glitterati of bitcoin as splitting up into different factions. There are no broad sunlit uplands, only a valley of darkness

Or, more likely, another period of strangely stable (given BTC has no fundamental value in dollar terms) $200-300 prices.

I don't think so. First the bitcoin XT must show how strong it is and this need time to be verified. Then can be discussed about the price of both of them Bitcoin has a respectable story behind its shoulders and this story cannot go down immediately. I think that bitcoin will survive and I hope tha both groups will be in one mind about the future of this big invention.
