Bitcoin XT hasn't been doing shit to price - that situation existed on Bitfinex long before XT's crap-pile hit. But most people close to the market know that. What I find interesting is all the OMITTED details that good 'ol Mike Hearn decided not to tell people about his proposed fork, all the while feeding into the three-letter-agency agenda of allowing a means to single out users. I don't buy his anti DoS explanation after the fact, either. Plain and simple, Mike decided to bamboozle everyone into running his Bitcoin "Big Brother Edition" client, without telling anyone the real truth of what was in there.

Hey Mike, go fuck yourself, you spook agency pawn.
