Circle abandoned Bitcoin because they weren't making enough profit off it. Now they are trying to build a fiat wallet running on Blockchain technology with no fees. Everyone else who is sucking on Bitcoin's tit won't leave as long as the money keeps coming in.
That's not a good choice of giving up on bitcoin because it will have good future due to its good economy all those negative hearsays were pulling down the minds of the users which brings negative impacts to bitcoiners and we should not bare that in mind. Taking stand on what positive vision we have is right most of the time and avoid believing bad feedbacks which easily disappoints anyone.
