Bram Cohen has always hated Bitcoin.

Which makes it strange how in 2015 he suddenly took an interest in Bitcoin and (1) supports everything Blockstream is doing (2) writes blog posts attacking long-time Bitcoin contributors like Mike Hearn and Gavin Andresen.

Perhaps Bram Cohen is "consulting" for Blockstream? They admit they spent over $10m+ in their first 12 months of operations in 2015 which is a high burn rate considering how few full-time employees ("founders") they had during that time.
