IMHO FUD and Fedcoin will destroy Bitcoin... Blockstream/Core supporters are creating such FUD that when Fedcoin (Ethereum) is increasingly introduced to the public with the upcoming Homestead rollout - it will be in tandem with negative stories about Bitcoin being a muddled, confused, dangerous mess.  And that perception is actually reality, since Blockstream/Core supporters seem to be little energizer FUD Bunnies on hyperdrive lately. So this will weaken Bitcoin, strengthen Fedcoin.  Fedcoin WILL surpass Bitcoin.  That part is pretty much certain.  The question is how badly Bitcoin will sustain self inflicted damages, and will they be deadly wounds, or wounds they can recover from.
