[keepdoing]

Bitcoin Classic rolls out, and days later there is no word about it in the News Media.

Mike Hearn declares Bitcoin dead and within hours it is in the New York Times.....

Mark my words: Bitcoin is getting ready to be in a fight for it's life.

On one side are the Blockstream/Core players.  Liars, manipulators, shill, not afraid to destroy the fabric of Bitcoin with every bit of FUD they can dredge up - even if it kills bitcoin, but if they can't have total control, no one can.

On the other side you have Mike Hearn w/R3CEV/Hyperledger/Banks (AND Mainstream Media & Govt backing - don't forget that!)

We are at the start of a foot race to see who gets ready forst for the upcoming global financial meltdown. 

It's pretty clear that Bitcoin Classic will prevail in the upcoming March Fork given the huge amount of support / concensus for it.  But Blockstream seems to wat to make this a do or die fight, and they appear to be willing to destroy the good name of bitcoin if they don't get their way.  The looming battle may be the perfect backdrop of confusion and chaos for a Fiat Coin to rise from the shadows, and with the help of Gov't & Media nods - be introduced to the masses.

Fasten your seatbelts kiddies.... this is going to be a wild ride.  Right now I am betting 50% on Classic / 50% on Fiat Coin.  Current 1mb Blockstream/Core Coin not even worth mentioning in my opinion.  I see 0.001%.

Wow how quickly the New York Times gets on this.  Where were they for positive news. I believe that you are right that it is time to buckle up. He does have some valid points but this is a little nuts.  Is it true that after walking out of a store you can reverse a bitcoin transaction from the seller??

50% Classic - Please don't make me laugh so hard.

wow! what a claim. bitcoin can't be dead so soon. no one can control it all. unless he will do unbelievable things over it. If he did He will be at war to all bitcoin users and believer.

[Patatas]

At this point of time ,we all are aware how the nature of bitcoin can't be determined by a single (mostly ignorant)personalities or even a group of people for that matter.Bitcoin was the most stable financial asset of 2015 overtaking the share market.All I can see is bitcoin live than ever.

I mean this question sincerely:  Who the fuck is Mike Hearn?

I'm like part-time into bitcoin and I don't read a lot of news or a lot of anything, and I should.  But I don't know who this guy is.  Or why his opinion carries extra weight.

[Digitalbitcoin]

Quite controversial. Bitcoin is Revolution in Finance and its an Era of new Economy. It has bright Future.

These are gimmicks to get higher popularity in journalism as make controversial statements. And bcz of he is author at NY times. There is no meaning of his statements. Actually  Mike is just programmer.

[Digitalbitcoin]

Just another unpopular person who try to gain popularity? He's just nothing compared to all of bitcoin user,his comment will not affect anything so its just kind of useless news

Ya u r right I quoted that he just thinks not anything actual. Its all are prediction and guesses. So Dont hv to worry. Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency is invention not creation and it takes years to come dream live.

[Luqman]

Can we just end this drama ? Why could bitcoin dead soon? Bitcoin iis fiture of money that could not be dead.

There is no anyone who can saying "bitcoin would dead". That such a delude from Mike hearn

[rokkyroad]

Hearn and Garzik are children. " If I can't have it, I'll break it so no one else can play with it."

All this drama is making the shitcoin of the week look good and we don't need that.

[Bit_Happy]

OP:
"Bitcoin is Dead" is not in the article even once. The current thread title is highly inaccurate.

[RobbieRoor]

Only time will tell what the furture of bitcoin holds. Its hard to believe one mans claims over the others. Although he does have some good points throught there.

It is sad that this is the news NY Times publishes, nothing but DOOM and DEATH! I guess postive things doesnt sell.

[iram66680]

So this is the reason for the sudden massive drop in price  
Little unaccurate news in the media can affect a currency so fast is not very comforting.

In other words, Bitcoin_Classic is about as newsworthy as Unlimited.  IE, not at all.

XT set the bar for hilariously futile vanity fork and governance coup attempts, but these new shitforks have no chance of raising it.
