Your statement proves my points even further -- it was a response to the examples gmaxwell gave about bad miners and exchanges. I was trying to say that; there exist bad core devs.
Two became altcoiners, Jeff and Gavin, and the Hearn became a banker.

What else are competing projects if not altcoins and banks?
Anyway, seems like we're shifting away from the main topic to the extent that we are deeply discussing previous core devs.
