I think that many people miss the most important thing here: it is not important if a currency hard-forks or not - what is important is that it can. I have no confidence that Bitcoin or any other currency doesn't fork in the future, because it is possible at any moment. The fact that the fork has happened or not changes nothing - it always stays as a possibility. In other words the chance of Ethereum or Bitcoin hard-forking in the future wouldn't change if the hard-fork didn't happen right now. |

Well, it's setting a precedent that will make the case easier in the future. Bitcoin's hard forks have all seemed to be good faith attempts to fix issues in the protocol. I don't think anyway on the Ethereum team is arguing this is anything other than an extremely arbitrary fork. The fact that 51% of stakeholders agreed to set this precedent should scare anyone from owning Ethereum in the future.
