Wow, that's a lot of news...
Seems like btc is going through lots of troubles. I hope it'll go through them, don't want to see btc crash and die now :/
not really news ... we already knew hearn is a bitcoin hater and saboteur, except for the NYTimes readers who will no doubt lap up Hucksters Hearn's soundbites for the sheeple
You may have known that, I didn't even know who he is.
Lot's of old btc users seem to forget that most adopters don't take the time to read everything about btc and don't know all that stuff about technical difficulties. It's really frightening and it's making me loose some confidence. But well I don't understand most of it so I won't say anything like "btc is dead" but I can say "btc is really complicated and it's hard for normal people to trust this system".
many, many people have said bitcoin is dying
https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/hearn just joined the long list of idiots who have publicly spouted their ignorance and proved they don't really understand the technology.
scaredy cats like you probably need to find another sandpit to play in ... its going to get messy in this one, its for all the marbles.
So for you anyone who is not totally understanding the technology is an idiot?
Well I'll join the long list of idiots. But you know what? I think there are far more users not understanding exactly how it works than users fully aware of all aspects. If all the "stupid users" as you say would dump their coins and leave the technology alone, bitcoin would actually die in a matter of seconds.
You all want adoption to become a bit more mainstream, but you can't take into account the fact that people might not want to spend 10 hours a week to understand how btc works, what's developped and what's going to happen...
