Has Mike Hearn joined the wrong side of the force?

XT was obvious not successful so Mike Hearn switched the sides. Good for Bitcoin?

Your post suggest Mike Hearn will now work against Bitcoin, which I think is false. Working for banks to help them find solution for their in-house blockchain does not imply he works against Bitcoin. Hopefully he finds some spare time to improve Bitcoin as well.

The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"

This was probably intended..., as well as a comment on the instability caused by fractional-reserve banking.

indeed banks don't want to use Bitcoin because it doesn't fit their nasty fractional-reserve banking system but they want to use the Blockchain technology instead to support their nasty fractional-reserve banking system.

another one bites the dust...

The main and possibly only reason that they are focusing on Blockchain technology and highlighting it everywhere is because they don't want Bitcoin to succeed. In other words, they're working against Bitcoin.

Banks are desperately scrambling to find a way to incorporate the techonology behind Bitcoin into their tired old system. Eventually, they can claim to be a safer way to use Bitcoin. When the world sees our people defect to help them it's a statement against Bitcoin. I don't think that bastard ever really cared about anything but his own success.

One of the first users of Bitcoin? LOL 

He was never around before December 2010. As an example, sirius started using Bitcoin in November 2009,
Theymos started using Bitcoin in February 2010, knightmb, mizerydearia, Syke and MoonShadow were using Bitcoin from July 2010 and there's about 100 people that were working on Bitcoin when he showed up. He was relatively late to the party. The fool makes it sound like he invented Bitcoin. ROFL

I agree, this description of Hearn's has other misdirections and falsehoods.

The pioneers of smart contracts were obviously Nick Szabo, for theoretical basis, and the first working prototype smart contracts platform was fellowtraveller's Open-Transactions and then Ethereum ... Lighthouse was definitely after these, and is too limited to be referred to as a "smart contracts pioneer".

Lighthouse? As in the level 3 competitor?

in real life, you need a job.
in real life, normal and trusted people develop on bitcoin for free and repair car for cash.

but real life is cheated by helicopter paper money ... for rich only.

That is very well possible indeed. However, we've prevented him from hurting Bitcoin and that is a good thing. We need to fight off bad actors whenever we can. It is time to forget about Hearn.
