Large groups of well paid, organized, funded professionals with clear objectives and good management - (like R3, hyperledger, ethereum, others) are sure making those Core programmers look like the silly little whiny bitches that they are.

This is 100% the end of bitcoin as we know it. Good thing too. This 'open source', 'no leadership', 'no organization' thing was always a load of bullshit.
I think that is not true, bitcoin is still alive and it will still alive forever, although the price of bitcoin is low right now, it is expected that at this moth and in the following month the price of bitcoin is lower than usual but after a several months from now we can expect that bitcoin will rapidly increased its price.
