Very well said.  That's exactly it--I'm about to go to bed for the night and I'm sure tomorrow morning, the price will be the only indicator that anything even happened.  I'm sure there are going to be a TON of bitcoin users who won't have any clue as to what went on here.

I think the exchange rate isn't going to go too nuts, becuase there's plenty of people who realize how much of a non-issue this is and are buying cheap coins as fast as the people freaking out are selling them.  The price will drop, but not to $5.
