Hearn’s Bitter “Goodbye Kiss” Sends Bitcoin Price Plummeting While “Bitcoin Classic” Gains Support

Former Core developer Mike Hearn’s acerbic departure from the bitcoin scene has sent the cryptocurrency’s price plummeting, while ironically more support grows for Bitcoin Classic and effectively increasing the block size limit to 2 MB.

Since Hearn published his letter on his Medium blog just over 24 hours ago, the price of bitcoin fell 14% from $420 to $362.

I do not believe the price drop is mainly due to a single person's departure. He has not done much to bitcoin recently any way.
