Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
He's not going to apologise and this is probably secretly what he wanted.

I dont think there is much of a "secret" about it. Its not a conspiracy or anything, its just really hard to assume that he had no idea about short/midterm consequences of his actions. Unless he is really just a butthurt manchild who performed a ragequit without much of a backthought.

Mike Hearn's blog post is the absolute perfect example of a raging narcissist throwing a fit. His post will go down in time as one of the stupidest acts made by someone with his intelligence and influence. We will be reading and laughing about him for decades to come.

[email protected] has set the bar for whiny rage quitting so high, we shall not see his like again.   Sad

He's not going to apologise and this is probably secretly what he wanted. Just look at what little it took for his words to have a drastic impact on bitcoins price. If it can fall by $100 or whatever just by someone saying its doomed (which was fud) then it makes me a little concerned for the future of btc What happens if a few prominent people say its dead? Are we going to see a fall by hundreds of dollars based on that? Someone saying something bad about bitcoin shouldn't have such an effect.

He is not just someone. After reading this blog he wanted to make a statement, which he clearly did.
Question is will something happen now?

Well looks like he made profit out of this. I would not wonder if he bought more coins... Greedy assholes never can get enough. Thats why we live in such a bloody world were people kill each other to have more and more...

btw. when I google Mike Hearn, it looks like he invested some of his coins on steroids

Thanks to this guy Mike Hearn the price went down $60 today. Alot of people have lost a lot of money and it's all because of this guy.

In order to get back our money we need to find this guy and make him take back all the bullshit and lies he wrote in his blog. He will be making a full public media apology for his actions and a confession that he is a troll and FUD master.

So if you know Mike Hearn, his address or any information about him please post it. We need to contact him personally and let him know he is responsible for people losing their hard earned money. And we need to ask him what he is going to do about it.

Ha ha - I can see that the church of bitcoin is strong as ever.

Mike Hearn does not have to make an apology. His action proves the resilience of the bitcoin system. The price did not crash to $200 or below.

Dont worry it gives the "Its the bottom, great buying opportunity, buy now or regret it!" guys some fresh ammo lol

LOL.

yes..

Buy btc please. I have orders set on all the majors to sell my btc.
I'll buy back in at $130 for the last bounce to $250.


is this sarcasm or do you actually think were slipping to $130 anytime soon?

some one try to spread panic... with 130 $ from 450 $ (and not 250$) we will see the crash of the price!

No need for that.
Clever ones aren't that ignorant.

And as long as Bitcoin is in the mainstream media, everyone, alongwith newbies are gonna start learning about it and for that they surely need to buy a significant amount of Bitcoins.

After Mike left the community very few of them (foolish ones) actually followed his path and were trying to influence their peers during the process.
But the major fact for it's price to go down is due to the expenditure on year-ending holidays, as well as Cryptsy Craptsy's downfall.

Hope it will diffuse soon. Wink

If it can't survive one snubbed silly sausage then btc belongs on the scrapheap. Internal politics is far likelier to kill it off than sinister fictional bankers.

He will never be part of Core again, and Core is all that matters as we have seen with XT, no body ran nodes for that piece of shit, and nobody will run nodes for Bitcoin Classic and other alt wannabes. They are fighting a losing battle.

I will be running a Classic node, and as of right now, at least 50% of the miners and others like Coinbase intend to as well.



Because you are clueless, no disrespect. Anyone with a brain would never give trust to some developers that have never demonstrated shit and have clear connections to banks/CIA and an underlying agenda vs supporting developers that have delivered fantastic and creative stuff like seg wit or CT amongst a million other entries that are for the betterment of the experience and to decentralize nodes and keep it more anonymous. Let's remember Mike Hearn only had 3 entries in github for Core lol. Im going to quote this fantastic reddit post that tells it like it is

Mike Hearn was responsible for the flash crash this past August with the hard intro of XT, so this makes twice he has moved the market. He should never be allowed near bitcoin again as he has proven himself arrogant and reckless. The market recovered from August and will recover from this also just give it some time.

He will never be part of Core again, and Core is all that matters as we have seen with XT, no body ran nodes for that piece of shit, and nobody will run nodes for Bitcoin Classic and other alt wannabes. They are fighting a losing battle.

XT was utter BS, but Bitcoin Classic is the way to go imo. Why would anyone stick to core with 1MB block sizes as if it was 2010? It doesn't allow Bitcoin to scale and will create absurd fees for all users the more BTC is adopted. Bitcoin Classic is simply another hard fork in the evolultion of Bitcoin. If you want to be a hardcore purist, the current version of Bitcoin isn't Bitcoin either, it's a fork! BTC has been forked several times to adapt to requirements of usability and growth.

Because we don't need 2MB when segwit is around the corner and trusting some random devs vs time tested devs is stupid. If you don't understand how risk/reward segwit is better than a hard fork for a 1MB increase you got some reading to do.

Are you actually brave enough to transfer coins with your trendy _Classic thingy, or is it just a useless vanity node?


I hope that they get 75% miner support right away so that I can watch their miners saying, "Oh shit, we just mined a ton of worthless altcoins!".

Yes he should be apologized for his statement. But i think we all who love bitcoin will never gonna get fooled by this so crack developer. I think after this statement if he still come back after sometime to be part of developer he should not be allowed to do so.

Cryptsy event is completely irrelevant.  The amount of coins stolen is so incredibly small.

do not understimate the panic selling that few coins can create, that the real damage not the amount of coins

the bad news itself, can start a huge downtrend in not time, like it happened already

also what Mike is saying, is not even that true, there are proposal for the issue he is describing, he just mad because none was accepting his altcoin...

+1

The bad news will all fade away.  Making it to NY times pretty much makes the 'news' fully realized, i.e. those who wanted to sell, sold.  There might be more selling as it snowballs to low 300s (a big maybe), but then we'll have an explosive bounce.  Just watch.

Is it possible he sold his coins at rate of it was at the time then after the price went down he buy again?

We should see an investigation into it. Mike Hearn can be arrested by SEC for market manipulation.

I believe only if he is in United States which I don't believe he is or if he used a United States exchange. Or if whatever country he is in has similar laws.

I could be wrong about that.
