Do you have a link to it? I would rather say, some of the people in the community made him react weird. Yes, the speech at MIT was
probably not his finest half hour, but the rest of his work was excellent. There are some people, who dismissed him.. without even
listening to what he had to say. I would also be angry, if someone ignores me, and the point I am trying to make. Give the guy a break,
he has a right to his opinion too.
When you start spouting about Satoshi making a big mistake with proof-of-work (as it relates to Bitcoin), I think you're going to have to expect a little blow-back and perhaps some ostracization from the Bitcoin community. Sure he did some good work but I would like to add that the Bitcoin community wasn't responsible for removing his bitcoin related youtube vids. That was his own doing. As I said - he removed himself from Bitcoin. So give us a break.
