Can Two Ethereum Markets Co-Exist?

How big is the ethereum market? In light of recent developments, answering this question has become more complex for traders and market observers.

The planned technical change, which at first had seemed to go off without a hitch, soon got a little strange, as a whole ecosystem of exchanges, miners and traders sprung up around the abandoned blockchain.
