Circle never left. They merely trimmed back on what they offer to the public.

I imagine Allaire was taken thoroughly aback by the vehemence thrown his way upon a simple reshuffling of the priorities of a real company that just happened to be operating in the Bitcoin space. It was as if he owed something to each and every Bitcoiner, rather than a fiduciary duty to his investors. Such a sense of entitlement. I wonder what all the shit-slingers have done to advance the cause in comparison.
