Happy 9th anniversary of The Hearnia, when Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn declared it a failed experiment and sold all his coins at $430. 😬

Is he the one that went to the NYT?
Nathaniel Popper at NYT wrote about the ragequit.
Mike went on to work at R3.
Yeah, I was watching The Money Matters podcast last wk nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd, and he had shown a pic of the NYT article with him laying in a bed. 🤣🤣
Ouch.
So he was a BTC developer? Yet his post shows that he has not understood the concept of bitcoin where everyone is free to choose?
He could as well establish a blockchain with bigger blocks himself. There was no one he must have asked for permission to do so.
I wonder what he is doing now?
Writing "Bitcoin is dead" articles for legacy media, probably?
oof
I wonder how many coins he sold. True mitwit it would seem.
amazing
send out a search party for him.
