Exactly. a lot of people don't want bitcoin to succeed.
So they trash talk, and are letting other bitcoin owners doubt the decisions they made.
without knew what effect that caused by their speculation in the future. in the end bitcoin stakeholders affraid that bad speculation happened.
just like last week bitcoin price dropped to almost 20% many people believe its caused by mikehearn speculation earlier.
I believe that's the reason as well for the price drop
Whenever something like that happens, it's obviously a reason for a price drop
People tend to chicken out whenever some developer quits.
Most people just get insecure and tend to panic whenever there's something negative being said about bitcoin.
It sucks to see this happen but hey, it happens and this is exactly how bitcoin works, with it's ups and downs.
