Explanation

holy shit! the price of bitcoin is keep crashing!
did you get affected by the cryptsy? you could ge affected by cryptsy operator in various trading platforms, his sell could crash bitcoin!

Oh noesssss oh noesssssssssss : )

100% filled block and price on the downside, not a good morning for me at the moment.
I need some coffee to wake up and analyze WTF happened tonight

It has nothing to do with a few full blocks; actually that doesn't ever impact the price. This was caused by Hearn who should be listed as one of the worst people that were ever in the Bitcoin ecosystem & Cryptsy. Hearn basically declared Bitcoin as dead/dying and the media caught it, a fine exaple of a evil and backstabbing person.

[Elwar]

I think between now and April there will be a lot of volatility.

[marcus_of_augustus]

Wow, that's a lot of news...

Seems like btc is going through lots of troubles. I hope it'll go through them, don't want to see btc crash and die now :/

not really news ... we already knew hearn is a bitcoin hater and saboteur, except for the NYTimes readers who will no doubt lap up Hucksters Hearn's soundbites for the sheeple

Can't he say what he thinks?
I don't see anything wrong in what he's saying. BTC is really shady he's right on that. Users don't have any correct informations you can't deny that.

I don't understand the hate, he's someone who worked on btc and thinks it's a failure and warned people about it, is it a reason to hate him?

Btc community shits on anyone disagreeing with it? Well seems he's right about the community then

It is probably better that NYTimes readers do not become early adopters and continue with their government currency like good citizens.

You may have known that, I didn't even know who he is.

Lot's of old btc users seem to forget that most adopters don't take the time to read everything about btc and don't know all that stuff about technical difficulties. It's really frightening and it's making me loose some confidence. But well I don't understand most of it so I won't say anything like "btc is dead" but I can say "btc is really complicated and it's hard for normal people to trust this system".

I don't see anything wrong in what he's saying. BTC is really shady he's right on that. Users don't have any correct informations you can't deny that.

So after spending countless years of his life working with Bitcoin, a few months after his departure Bitcoin is dead? Please.   If you defend such a person you are not any better than him. Bitcoin is not that shady, especially not since there's no Silk Road equivalent. Stop your gibberish.

I don't understand the hate, he's someone who worked on btc and thinks it's a failure and warned people about it, is it a reason to hate him?

Because he's a paid bulldog who backstabbed the community with this article. Should we love him for it?  

not really news ... we already knew hearn is a bitcoin hater and saboteur, except for the NYTimes readers who will no doubt lap up Hucksters Hearn's soundbites for the sheeple

That is the problem of this story, NYTimes and the sheep that are going to believe this nonsense or defend him. It has already reflected itself on the price (incl. news about Cryptsy).
Update:
It is only logical for you to not know anything, but know that Hearn isn't bad. This makes sense.

hearn just joined the long list of idiots who have publicly spouted their ignorance and proved they don't really understand the technology.

scaredy cats like you probably need to find another sandpit to play in ... its going to get messy in this one, its for all the marbles.

Seems we won't be able to discuss. You don't seem to understand the position of someone who is not informed. Most people don't have the time to spend hundreds of hours to understand exactly how everything works and who's in charge of what.

"You're not better than him if you defend Hearn" You don't understand. I don't know who he is, he just doesn't seem like somebody bad.

Bitcoin IS incredibly shady in the sense that normal people have no idea of what's happening, what's currently developped, who's in charge of what, what can or can't be done etc...
I'm not talking about drugs or anything that something else. I'm talking about how btc works and will evolve. You're all talking about "bitcoin core" "bitcoin XT" "forks" and things like that. I've no idea of what it is, and I'm an engineer which means i got some basis in science... So btc IS shady in the sense that a small percentage of users actually understand it.

scaredy cats like you probably need to find another sandpit to play in ... its going to get messy in this one, its for all the marbles.

So for you anyone who is not totally understanding the technology is an idiot?

Well I'll join the long list of idiots. But you know what? I think there are far more users not understanding exactly how it works than users fully aware of all aspects. If all the "stupid users" as you say would dump their coins and leave the technology alone, bitcoin would actually die in a matter of seconds.

You all want adoption to become a bit more mainstream, but you can't take into account the fact that people might not want to spend 10 hours a week to understand how btc works, what's developped and what's going to happen...

There's something very "controlled demolition" about all of this. Paul Vernon was in army intelligence after all.

Fuck yeah, he jacked all the ignorant people. Probably gave all the leads each a 1K BTC .dat to shut the fuck up.

you don't have to understand how it works ... do you have to pass Aerodynamics classes before you get on an airplane?

If bitcoin does what you want it to do for you, you should use it.

Simples.

Who all thinks this is going to leak past $400? Can we get a new poll adam?

He shouldn't have declared bitcoin as dead. And should NOT have said that he's selling all his bitcoins. There are good reasons why people in control are not allowed to do that on exchanges. Everything else he can vent as much as he wants

[sAt0sHiFanClub]

(Also, add to the list of this article's bullshit arguments: "Chinese miners are the reason we don't have bigger blocks". You can blame China's influence

I dont think he blamed them for causing the problem, I think he blames them for not having the balls to stand up to Blockstream and force the issue by adopting bigger blocks.  As he explained, it was down to this funny sense of 'loyalty' - which is commendable in principle but should never stop you from doing the right thing.

But I see why the miners did what they did - the "pig circus" that was 'Scaling Bitcoin' promised that something was going to be done, but instead became a simple delay tactic while convoluted, unworkable solutions were being hammered out in the background.

But time has now run out, as it has for XT, and miners are now taking a pro active stance on the matter. All they are waiting for is somebody credible to put an alternative solution in front of them - a solution tailored to their needs - and they will jump.  And that will be sooner than many here care to believe, and certainly too soon for alternative vaporware to become a reality.
