Hearn: The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment

Hearn: The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment

Parent article: Hearn: The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment

Closely related article from the NY Times, also focusing on Mr. Hearn. Their article seems to imply that it's both project governance (internal politics) and technical issues (e.g. scalability, limit on transactions per second, etc.) which led to Bitcoin's failure (as Hearn sees it).

Or, more accurately, the attempts to address the scalability matters ended in acrimony and recrimination.

Hearn: The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment

Because this conversation has lacked any sort of actual refutation of Hearn's falsehoods (or mentions that he went to work for Big Finance immediately after publishing his ragequit):

Bram Cohen addresses Hearn's ragequit.

Greg Slepak's point by point, epic refutation of Hearn's ragequit.

That should balance the conversation -- highly stinky of politics at this point -- quite a bit.
