It seems like the headlines are running after Mike Hearn. Ever since the Bitcoin developer quit the network, Bitcoin price suffered, disagreements within the network’s development core became mainstream news and Hearn conspiracy theories have popped up all around. Bitcoin is no stranger to conspiracy, in fact, it has all the elements necessary to make theorists work around the clock. From the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, to Hearn’s job with R3, and everything in the middle, it seems that any kind of Bitcoin conspiracy theory generates a considerable amount of attention. Instead of chasing the Bitcoin conspiracy headlines, it would be more entertaining to list all the conspiracy theories that fizzled out as soon as the next one appeared.
