You are running in circles. There won't be consensus with this community of greedy and selfish basdards everywhere.
Gavin should just release his Gavincoin on the open market as new chain and everyone is happy. (it's going to die within months and rest with the other shitcoins)
What's that cult you have there about that btc-chain?
Blockchains aren't scarce. It's totally overpriced. People are so stupid to buy these expensive coins and make such a upheaval about it.
Just release altcoins and hype them! It's the same. There is no significant difference between Bitcoin and all the other shitcoins. NONE. Never will be.
Sidechains?
Will be in altcoins immediately too.
Hashrate?
Merge mining gives you all the hash you want
Gavincoin bloat?
Nobody wants it so it won't occure in altcoins - if it turns out to not kill BTC a better version of it will occure in an altcoin
so what the fuck are you all about this bitcoin-chain like a tribe of apes?
The only problem here is: Gavin can't handle high marketcap. He needs to have a very low marketcap because he's got no clue about his investors.
Give that guy some shitcoin to play with. Bitcoin is likely too expensive with this management. They can't handle it and don't know how to treat investors.
