In December 1st, he tweeted saying that he lost his sponsorship from Bitmain alongside Joao Barbosa, AKA Promag.
“Thanks Bitmain for all the help (despite the disagreement we had),” Schnelli tweeted, asking the crypto community to contribute to his further efforts on Bitcoin Core.
Reddit users were quick to suggest that Bitmain could have found better ways to spend their money.
