We have a separate thread discussing forks and their effects on price. Called Money for nothing, look it up. Don't get too bothered, sometimes even I don't know when I am serious and when I am not.

Yes. We have won!
No contentious Fork, no Chaos: just BTC. And prove how strong the underlying protocol really is: it's extremely hard to attack.

This is good for Bitcoin, but might give a temporally price-dip: as many speculated for the free dividend, which will not be given. Anyway the risk of chaos is gone, and might give a long relief-rally to the next event: Futures on CME and CBOE.
