I was surprised that the news around the Microsoft led Ethereum group didn't hike the price at all.

Any thoughts?

The price already went up due to these projects. The fact that the first major project badly failed seems like it should have a more long lasting effect on the price!
Will banks and microsoft really start using smart contracts for real money, when the DAO was cracked in a few days and needed a hard fork to save Ether?

How many hard forks will they need to keep all the new projects running smoothly? I would wait and see before assuming that good prospects become actual good projects,
