Stop repeating this.

The ETH fork happened before the people on HN were even following cryptocurrency happenings.

That's how early in the project a fork was done — the project would never survive another at this stage of maturity.

And everyone knows that.

So stop repeating it?

That’s silly. HN is where I heard about it. The collapse of the DAO got many, many comments. Just one of the threads: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11921900

I just don't see the relevance considering the absolutely insane amount of things that have happened that would cause nobody to act in this fashion again, namely...uh...many public people are using the project publicly.

The fork stuck because it was still an alpha, as far as society was concerned.

It's currently in a grey area between a social movement and a FOSS project, and it simply started as a FOSS project.

I think it's important to characterize what occurred with this context. Devs won't get another chance at that without the project (and movement!) ending — and everyone knows it.
