Is Bitcoin Breaking Up?

By PAUL VIGNA
Jan. 17, 2016 10:28 a.m. ET


A prominent bitcoin developer has labeled the currency a failed experiment, widening the rift over an arcane but critical technical issue that has divided the community for nearly a year.

“The fundamentals are broken, and whatever happens to the price in the short term, the long-term trend should probably be downwards,” developer Mike Hearn wrote on the blogging platform Medium. “I will no longer be taking part in bitcoin development...

There is some poetic justice in the price tanking because of Mike's rage-quit and the block size war.  There would have been no war and no rage-quit, if some segment of the community had not sided with Blockstream out of stupid greed -- because they imagined that Blockstream's plan would make the price of bitcoin go up, even though it meant giving up the very goal that motivated Satoshi to create it,and the only thing that justifies its existence.

Who cares about blockstream? And get we get pass this satoshi appeal to autority now? unless you are satoshi maybe?

As iCEBREAKER observed, Your big statist lie is that "Bitcoin was created to replace commercial banking, not central banking (as if the Genesis Text was about $2 ATM fees instead of TBTF bailouts)."

There is no ph0rk forthcoming, only desperate inflative reddit minions leapfrogging from ph0rk to ph0rk.

Hearn will be like a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off at R3C ... he's bitcoin's biggest asset right now. Can you imagine that arrogant little snipe not getting his way inside a corporate IT project, just waiting to slip the knife in or totally blow-up the project in a PR nightmare intended to destroy its credibility??

From his LinkedIn profile: "senior software engineer and tech lead at Google, where I worked for about 7.5 years on Maps/Earth, Gmail anti spam, signup abuse and login security"

From Gavin's profile: "Software Engineer - Silicon Graphics (SGI) 1988 – 1996 (8 years)"

By a strange coincidence, Gavin and Mike seem to be the only core devs with significant *professional*  software development experience...

I'd like to know a lot more about how the NYTimes journalist, Nathaniel Popper who wrote the Digital Gold fiction, was able to time the release of his Hearn hit piece exactly for R3C's benefit at the washington hearing?

Why do you think that there was any particular interest for R3 to do so?

The run-up from 360 to 380 looked somewhat weird, have a feeling its not going to last that long and 350 will be retested again. Just seems way to easy for now.

i think we will comeback to $390 again like the highest price in this day  Roll Eyes

Got the same impression here but looking closely my feeling is we could breach 400$ soon. No peace for the wicked as they say in English  Wink

You may be right. The down trend had some facts to back it up. No reason to see it stop quick. Just wait for a few days we'll reach 350 then, and we'll buy everything we can!

It's all mathematics...!
BTC has 99 problems and I'm not one of them...

If the core devs don't mesh it could eventually melt down... IMHO  Cool

There's nothing wrong with your english. Half this forum should be on meds.

That's an underestimation. I'd say the WHOLE forum would be more accurate.  Grin

So are you saying that we are going down, and I should sell a bit more... ha hahaha... what fucking looney to attempt to judge what someone else should be doing. Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Must be that English is not my first language, neither my second. I was (trying to) positively cheer for you bitcoin reaching 502$ so you are in the green as well, and only envy your considerable stake. No harm intended and good for you that you managed to get your average price down while only trading with 10% of your stash.

Edit: for the record, I do not trade at all. Cold storage + small amounts for weekly / monthly  usage.
