I was reading http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/17/business/dealbook/the-bitcoin-believer-who-gave-up.html, where Hearn has been quoted saying...

"I want to be in a professional environment again where people are grounded in some sort of business reality."

So, he left an industry having unprofessionals like Barry Silbert, Tim Draper, Richard Branson to work for this element...

I don’t feel any pity or sympathy for Mike Hearn and I think he is also like other morons who consider bitcoin a scam or a fraud or a Ponzi scheme or a bubble that would burst soon and I think these people are totally foolish and they are somewhere lacking in understanding the fate and potential of bitcoin and that’s why they took that decision of leaving bitcoin industry and I am damm sure that they will surely regret in the future when the valuation will reach sky high and time will answer them all for their guilt.

He tried to ruin years and years of work done by thousands of bitcoin professionals.It never stays the same, people progress and I believe he is one of those people that wants to move on.

Very typical of luddites/conformists. Or he was probably paid to say those words.

Revisiting the old thread at euphoria moment. Wink

i was wondering the other day about which one of these "bitcoin obituaries" is going to be the first to come up now that price has gone up. and here we go, one of the better ones.
i still remember the dip back in the time he said all that. boy that was a great day for me to buy cheap coins.
so i think we owe him some gratitude

I think I should also thank him for the cheap coins I bought back then. His attempt to sabotage Bitcoin, failed miserably and it just put a little dent in the price for us to buy cheaper coins at the time. Luckily a lot of us saw through his actions and we stayed in the game and even invested more.

Now we are laughing at all those stunts and filling our pockets with massive profits. ^LoL^

We shouldn't feel pity for him. Who knows, he might still keep a few hundreds of coins for just in case?... He just need to quietly watch the price increase. As a bitcoiner (hope I am qualified), it's very difficult for me to ditch my coins, even if I do not agree with some other colleagues...

I don't even know what hearn is up to these days. Is he with an altcoin or went to a bank or what? He was always odd to me anyway. No loss there.

I feel petty too but everyone has the freedom to leave, i don't know which other coin is more professional than bitcoin.

Ethereum seems pretty solid from the technical point of view.
But I feel Haern is a whiner, he don't know what he really wants and he had no patience to see how bitcoin could grow big.
I think he would be good in corporate team of researchers with clear goals and deadlines.

Ethereum is definitely solid, but it isn't the Bitcoin killer that it was being made out to be. This was my biggest gripe with the initial hype about Ethereum, was that everyone thought it was going to be so amazing it could destroy Bitcoin's value and draw more of the userbase away from Bitcoin and into Ethereum, but it ended up not really mattering.

Mike Hearn may have left for legitimate reasons, but his whiny demeanour when he made the post about Bitcoin being dead kind of burned a lot of bridges for him.

I don't feel pity for Mike Hearn. I don't feel anything for Mike Hearn. I don't feel like I lost anything because of him. I have more important things to worry about.

He doesn't understand the mathematics of emergence from chaos.

Bitcoin will eventually fix itself. I have as much faith in Bitcoin as I do in mathematics.

Too bad you didn't learn that the universe is composed of partial orders and not a total order. Then you'd understand why every consensus system will become centralized and thus a defacto a fiat.

Now Mike & R3CV has started to make sense to me. They are seeking 200m USD in funding - http://bitcoinist.net/r3-seeks-200-million-in-funding/

Mike caused hundreds of thousands of people to see a drop in the combined value of their assets of around a billion dollars. He tried to ruin years and years of work done by thousands of bitcoin professionals. Tried to damage a technology almost as important as the internet.

Nice guy. I'm sure he will be happy with his new friends. He'll need them as I guess he just lost every professional friend he ever had. He sure lost all of my respect and caused me a few sleepless nights.

Thanks Mike

Enjoy what you made for yourself

I agree with this. No person, whatever mistakes he/she makes, can change the rules of mathematics. One plus one will be equal to two regardless of anyone's actions.

As we can see Bitcoin is going up again btw.

Humans use it. Humans have agendas. Humans can change code. The idea that btc will 'fix itself' is laughable. It can easily be stunted, stagnated or sent off in a fatal direction by a powerful minority.

I don't really feel anything for him. Things change, people change, the way they are thinking and viewing things in life and business.
It never stays the same, people progress and I believe he is one of those people that wants to move on because he doesn't believe in bitcoin anymore and I think that's okay.
