Bitcoin Classic rolls out, and days later there is no word about it in the News Media.

Mike Hearn declares Bitcoin dead and within hours it is in the New York Times.....

In other words, Bitcoin_Classic is about as newsworthy as Unlimited. IE, not at all.

XT set the bar for hilariously futile vanity fork and governance coup attempts, but these new shitforks have no chance of raising it.

Code:

REKT

In the article he talks about in detail all the FUD and drama ....that his FORK should not have been the source of stuff....however it seems to me that he seems to talk about the
core devs in the same manner that they talk about xt...so go figure.....his open source universe of my way or the highway it seems

also he is now working for private blockchain interests by such a letter and getting rid of all btc ( hell who could tell) he clears things up for his 'new corporate masters"

so wtf is the difference between his working for 'private blockchain crypto code" and "bitcoin open source code that has some centralization properties vs his new working
environment which is ALL centralization on such projects from what I can tell....assuming I give him 'some' on his btc centralization tendencies ....for fairness in his views...still lame

what western bankers can centralize a crypto coin...with private blockchain efforts but somewhat (if he is to be believed) centralized btc run out of china via miners is NOT OK

seems he wants it both ways

1) bitcoin xt "benevolent dictatorship" (his words)

or

2) open btc crypto in his manner if he can't have the above

hell then he goes on about 'bitcoin classic' and muddles it all up further

seems his 'agenda' is slipping like a 'fat man's butt crack'

man what a tool ..it just seems a bit too much 'I'm gonna quit now because just because I was mean to you guys you were mean to me back" kinda gonna take his toys and go home

sheesh.....I MAY believe his points IF other bitcoin core devs as things change act as 'immature' about stuff not going their way with core code or whatever....that part of his 'rant'

has me wondering.......bunch of nerds running a great tech idea with 'big money' involved....well hell what could go wrong

but I think HE is an isolated individual in all this...even if SLOW i think others WILL do what needs to be done with code if/when it has to be done...sloppy yes.....dragging of feet yes
but BTC development is making a house by committee...it don't have to look pretty ..it just has to do its function and keep the rain/snow out

just a bit too much 'everyone is an evil greedy f*ck but me tone in all this rant* anyway wtf do I know at one time I drank the BFL kool aid (got a refund) but still I fess up when
I'm plain ass wrong....not sure if he can face such a possiblity

just my take on the usual 'Bitcoin of our Lives" the continuing 'Soap Opera"...never a dull moment....

(*hey Icebreaker...how's it going by the by*)
