Re: Estranged Core Developer Gavin Andresen Finally Makes Sensible 2MB BIP Proposal!
The market loves it!! 
It is because of the uncertainty behind the future of Bitcoin. If the core devs were not so against any kind of increase in the max block size then the market would react differently. When the first block that "voted" for XT was mined someone sold 20k BTC on bitfinex (likely because of the uncertainty)
I think if the Core accepts the 2MB proposal and implements it after through testing on the test net, then the bitcoin price will fly.
