It is a bad thing that one person currently has so much influence on the bitcoin perception
him leaving should not cause more than a small dip on the news, otherwise it has become to centralized around him.

So be prepared to get a lot of negative marketing from within the community itself, not just general public.
And we have MP's promised nuke on Gavincoin.
My long-standing prediction for a bottom < $100 is coming to fruition.
The dip will likely drag the altcoins down too. They will be shooting themselves in the foot, but perhaps with exceptions.
We should have known before:
Nice try Mircea, try putting this spin on the front page of /r/Bitcoin then we'll talk.
catastrophic Indeed, it will open the doors for the scam OneCoin to flood the market 
This could be catastrophic for bitcoin. If he leaves then in my opinion neither would be successful. I suppose a major alt like litecoin could take over but I think even alts would be damaged by this. Lets hope they can find a solution.
"Today on the Sourceforge hosted Bitcoin-development mailing list Gavin Andresen has threatened to leave his present group of Bitcoin software developers over their objections to his demands for a rapid hardfork of the Bitcoin network. In the event his demands are not met Gavin plans to join Mike Hearn's Bitcoin-XT project which is a fork of the Bitcoin client where Hearn implements patches that Gavin's current affiliated developers find too risky to implement in any mainline Bitcoin client. If Gavin defects to Bitcoin-XT he plans to work with Hearn to lobby merchants, miners, and businesses to move to Bitcoin-XT. Previously Mike Hearn was responsible for the March 2013 Bitcoin network crisis."

Such a move will only weaken Bitcoin's credibility in the eyes of the public.
You can bet that if this happens some altcoins will be able to suitable spin it for their benefit. Even a 1% movement of money away from Bitcoin to a particular altcoin will make their marketcap shoot up.
