We are going down from 280$ to 220$ in less than 10 days because two shills want to prove their might by forking bitcoin?

The answer from community is clear now, Gavin & Mike ?

I think Gavin & Mike are quite content seeing that the uptake of XT among nodes passed 13% in just 4 days, and that two blocks have already been mined with it. That's a clear answer from the community so far.

I think these two points of view sum up the gap between the viewpoints nicely.

Comment 1 is talking about store of value ie they may or may not actually prefer core over xt but certainly do not like it when the prospect of moving to one option lowers their wealth.

Comment 2 is saying that the community will decide and the resulting effect longer term on the price is a "cost" that has to be borne as the community decides things not wealth movements.

While comment 2 is "purer' in bitcoin terms than comment 1, comment 1 reflects more where bitcoin has got to after 6? years ie that changes cannot be now seen in isolation. For example I would say this core/xt argument is not only hurting the price but will lead to no new merchant acceptance.

I am not sure these two viewpoints are easily reconciled and will rise much more frequently from now on in all things to do with bitcoin
