The ONLY way that ETH can survive this clusterfuck is if Vitalik Buterin stops acting like a central banker and starts letting things fall. Dao fucked up? Let it fall and deal with the losses, stop trying to change things now.
Honestly, things are locking BAD in altcoin camp.
Yes, time to let it fail. If they try to prevent it they are impeding decentralization. Things are definitely interesting right now, seems like we can expect more drama in alts. I think it is a good thing, means that someone knows that the crypto community is on to something when it comes to the future of money and data.
