Gavin and Mike lobbied industry with a particular agenda without consulting any other protocol developers (https://t.co/j3pmVck4Wd) stating an intent to "be more of a dictator" and to politicize mining (29:40).

Then a massive smear campaign against protocol developers who went against this agenda was launched on reddit. This would eventually lead to Mike's rage quit and a hit piece against protocol developers being published in the New York Times.
