Clearly, me and many more could not comprehend this. Thanks for enlightening all of us.
I'm all happy now knowing these jokers are highly intelligent beings incapable of an emotional, sour grapes rant.
Yup. You guys do need to be enlightened.
Of course they can be emotional. I think most people would be emotionally attached after working on something for 5 years, trying to make it succeed. And they would be frustrated when others cannot see the problems that they so clearly see, because they think it will eventually ruin the project they've worked so hard on for years.
I don't know if Mike Hearn is "right". But clearly he is one of the most knowledgeable people about bitcoin in the world, and I think his concerns definitely require some attention. Now, he is a human being, and like all other human beings, he's not perfect. He's prone to emotion, and he's prone to only seeing his side of things. There may be a lot of good things happening that he's not seeing, or maybe there are a lot of holes in what he's proposing that he's not seeing.
I don't know, I don't pretend to be knowledgeable enough to comment. But to just brush him off as a "joker" who wrote what he did in an effort to "destroy" bitcoin is I think very silly, and not good for bitcoin.
