I want the distribution of wealth in crypto to look like the pie chart of mining pool hashrates.
That would require Bitcoin losing significant market share to altcoins. I don't want that to happen. Most Bitcoin users don't want that to happen. You're an advocate of altcoins, so your interests diverge from that the majority of the members of this community. I suspect that is why you are advocating against a hard fork and for a permanent 1 MB restriction that would hamper Bitcoin's adoption.
you fail to realize: this hardfork, secret island meetings, gavins behaviour, the low priority consensus actually seems to have, the inaccessibility that Gavincoin will have, the behaviour of the pro-forkers aswell as many, many other things is
exactly what drives people out of bitcoin and into altcoins.
(not that i would think it's a bad thing, i think it's healthy)
Alts gaining marketshare is healthy for all of the ecosystem, it improves decentralisation and developement.
Bitcoin bagholders who fear this are people who miss out on the opportunity to invest in altchains and make profits there.
its not about missing opportunitys to invest in shitcoins
more like a total dislike of them
its more like ALT coin bag holders trying to pimp their own coin because btc is closer to mainstream
than any ALT coin will ever be and alts are dying off every day and nobody even pays attention to it while btc gains more and more milllions in investments
Exactly. We have XMR advocate kazuki49 harshly insulting Bitcoiners who say they want Bitcoin to maintain its market dominance against altcoins.
We have iCEBREAKER saying a permanent 1 MB restriction is okay because altcoins can just take market share from Bitcoin when the Bitcoin blockchain fills up to the limit.
We have 'Pecunia non olet' saying the hard fork would be bad, and then telling Bitcoiners they should be investing in altcoins.
That they have to come into the Bitcointalk forum to try to discourage the community from making the right decision, to give their altcoins a chance, shows how low they're sinking.
We crypto advocates are very small in number and most of us (including Satoshi, a supporter of Namecoin) understand the values of innovation, diversity, competition, and specialization.
I've already said Bitcoin should be the backbone of the rest. I support all crypto, especially Bitcoin, so I don't want to see it harmed by hard forks where an economic majority is in question.
Piling every proof-of-work quorum system in the world into one dataset doesn't scale. Bitcoin and BitDNS can be used separately. Users shouldn't have to download all of both to use one or the other.

amincd's paranoia is hilarious. Please, show me where infamous BTC maximalist Mircea Popescu has ever been anything but 100% anti-altcoin.
