Mike Hearn coming on for AMA in 6 hours.

[buwaytress]

Apparently, this guy's been away for a while but he'll be holding an AMA on Reddit. Early Bitcoin dev, even had contact with Satoshi. Was the source of some new Satoshi correspondence shared in this forum sometime last year. One of the first big blockers, he's turned his back on Bitcoin but might be interesting to see what he's been up to. Plenty of fans still, judging from the responses.

This would be great if Hearn will be back at being a correspondent in crypto currency. If this news was true then a bigger possibility that the price of Bitcoin will be back on top.

I hope this is true. Bitcoin and the whole crypto currency market is beat up by FUDs. We need a catalyst for prices to go up and this could be one of them.i think the  Demand for bitcoin could go up if he will be back.

This is really a good time for Mike Hearn, a pioneer developer of bitcoin, to emerge and answer querries and questions with regards to bitcoin. Bitcoin nowadays is faced with great trials and the community really need some very important people in bitcoin to show up and calm the hearts of the users. If this will occur the encounter with Hearn will possibly boost bitcoin economy once again.

Woah...thanks for posting this.

Should be very interesting to hear what he has to say about the way forward !

let us not forget that Mike Hearn was also responsible for one of the biggest FUDs that was spread about bitcoin. back in the days (i think it was 2015) that he became butthurt and decided to leave bitcoin, but instead of leaving it behind like a civilized person he decided to spread some FUD about bitcoin first. long story short he said bitcoin is going to die soon. this was when price was about $400 and it had a big dump afterwards down to $300 or $200 if i am not mistaken which is a large drop because of a simple FUD (near half).

Passionate people abound in Bitcoin, to be sure. Hearn certainly did cause an uproar... and he seems to take credit in the AMA for causing Bitcoin to slide in price (20% actually, not 50% as you say, which recovered shortly), but I don't think anyone ragequitting even in those days would have ever killed of Bitcoin.

I suspect the only developer that will ever have an impact on Bitcoin (price) will be Satoshi him/her/them self/ves.

P.S. AMA wasn't half as exciting as I'd have expected. Thought to see some of the old fire return.

Wow! It’s a great news that Mike has back. I have read some of his articles. Since he is back, I hope, he will share something good for bitcoin. People who are doing some research can attend the session.

Woo this is a big news if it’s true. He might be a helpful factor in price increase. Hope he will back Bitcoin as he did in the early stage. Thanks for sharing the news.

I would prefer not having him back.   ...He has sold his soul to the Banks by joining the R3 Group. I would imagine that he would be announcing some new BankCoin that they have worked on over there. Some private Blockchain technology that would be controlled by these Banks. Hint : https://docs.corda.net/_static/corda-technical-whitepaper.pdf

Gavin and Mike wanted to sabotage Bitcoin with the introduction of Bitcoin XT and when they failed, Mike abandoned the project and he joined the Banks to fight against Bitcoin. I would not trust him at all.
