Those that are trying to make this out to be a "do or die now issue" are those that are trying to "take over the project".
Those that actually own Bitcoin don't really care about being able to buy coffee with it - they care about not losing the value of their investment.
Bitcoin never set out to be an investment vehicle. It was created to be
Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.
Try to understand that by making Bitcoin useless as a currency (buying coffee), you also destroy its value.
