Will they go under? Can they survive on half the amount of income?
they will have to survive until difficulty updates to reflect the lower price. Some may won't be able to do that and will change their business model or die. But the biggest players, if they hold many bitcoins, may hedge against that. They may push the price arbitrary low and collecting back their bitcoins at much lower prices will earn enough to compensate the lack of income from mining. I wouldn't be afraid about them.
