Bitcoin is only as strong as it's weakest link. And in this i refer to the community, if many people drag bitcoin down then it will be weak.
I do agree with this. Bitcoin as a system is practically unbreakable (it does have some attack vectors though) if we leave humans out (as in control over mining, development and such) of the equation (assuming there are machines serving as miners and as nodes). Humans are the main weak point in this system. Don't some people realize just how XT and now Classic have shifted the idea of taking control over our money, decentralization and whatnot to the idea of "fighting" over 'implementations'? If you think about it, in order to achieve what was originally wanted (from this perspective) Bitcoin does not need some sort of 'rush' (sacrificing some aspects partially to achieve that goal) that will enable as many people as possible to use the system at all times.
Tl;dr: I'm glad that the Classic chapter is over and that we can focus on more important matters and prepare for the next controversial HF (maybe Bitcoin Reloaded?).
