  >Yeah but is there any group/business in bitcoin that doesn't consist of keyboard warriors on reddit? This is exactly why I went from being a great champion of Bitcoin in 2011 (came on board late 2010, right after Mike if I recall) to totally disengaging with the project today. For the record, I deeply and vehemently disagreed with Mike about the direction of the project on numerous occasions (e.g., coin "redlists"), but I'd much, much rather spent my time around Mike (an all-around nice guy, by the way) than the idiots and know-nothings than presently have come to form the Bitcoin "community". Things were far, far different back in 2011-2012, before the first big price jumps led the current crown on board. Ironically, their "participation" in the project (mostly screaming, censoring, and belly-aching on Reddit) will only cause the thing their fear most: a Bitcoin bus-plunge and loss of most of their assets. Mike, if you read this, I was only a minor player in Bitcoin core (< 5 commits) but I appreciated your work and particularly your talks about Bitcoin, as well as your work on Bitcoinj, an extremely well-led open source project. I look forward to seeing your next endeavors.
