I think Ethereum will be no more among us after this attack, the issues to it will be fixed sooner but i don't think that it will survive for longer , it will die in this year.

Vitalik Buterin did the mistake of his life by pannicking about people panic selling and demanding that exchanges froze the ETH markets... I mean what the FUCK? Think about this for a moment. This is terrible and sets a scary precedent. This would never happen with BTC because everyone knows it would be a disaster.

First time I read about this! Freezing markets happened after the 9/11. It seems a bit excessive to freeze markets for something this unimportant!

Almost 2 years ago exactly, Vericoin (VRC) forked to recover stolen funds

VRC chart since:

A fork takes away all trust. Satoshi's assumption is that miners are rational, so they won't do things that hurt them. If miners can fork for this, they can also do it to take funds from someone else.
