Its too bad, I really thought Vitalik was the Chosen One, but I think he reacted incorrectly here by panicking and showing concern.
If I had been him I would have let DAO fail without even discussing any fork. Be as emotionless about it as the code itself. Admit mistakes were made, somebody (DAO investors) will lose some money in the short term but stay true to the principles of Ethereum.
PLUS even after all this drama, $ETH has a market cap of ~$1B as well as independence (fingers crossed) from government intervention making it an alternative to Fiat currency, as well as a much better block rate than BTC lending itself to mining on consumer-grade GPU's for the moment at least. I'm looking at litecoin LTC as my next crypto-bubble investment as well.
There's still lots of good to be said about Ethereum. DAO is toast, long live DAO2! Ethereum will come out stronger long term.
