Any one who's saying the stuff Mike Hearn has said is nothing more than a troll with hidden agenda. People shouldn't have valued his words from the very beginning. Then the panic would be less than 50% of what it was.
Who says the drop was caused by Hearn. Price was slowly going down even before he left the party.
It's because the media world wide have released plenty of articles regarding him leaving being the "end of Bitcoin". All that is done to create panic among the not experienced Bitcoiners. It played a significant role in this. I never said it was the only reason behind the drop.
