A short romp through the tall weeds and shadowy past of Mike Hearn, in addition to highlighting certain tendencies this developer has in promoting centrist agendas.

Five minute read, give it a go. You'll be glad you did.

Excerpt:

Quote
This is a man, who on the surface promoted the usual “Bitcoin is financial freedom” and “Decentralization is Bitcoin’s greatest strength” while simultaneously introducing ideas and code into the project that ultimately would undermine those goals.

Really enjoyed the read,not too long at all.

Must agree the project is better off without his type pushing thro' a potential Government/bank agenda,the Tor stuff especially so, as that is vital for those in repressive regimes


Bye Mike,nice try the game is up Grin

Great post which should be pinned. I never knew one tenth of what this government bankster shill was really up to.

Glad he's gone.

Awesome post, a real eye opener. I agree it should be pinned as a continuous reminder of what Bitcoin is up against with the banksters.
