Where is the proof for your claim?

Neither Theymos nor tvbcof nor NewLibery nor sardokan nor davout nor Pete Dushenski are "associated with Monero."

Monero Maximalists should be happy about the Great 20MB Schism, as Monero and other alts could benefit greatly from the fallout of a Bitcoin Civil War.

I hold both and wish to avoid this particular drama, however amazingly entertaining it promises to be.   

But Gavin.gov and the other BTC.mil spooks seem to be going all in with their efforts to Embrace/Extend/Extinguish our little experiment.

So we're in for another enthralling season of All My Bitcoins, regardless of what we dastardly "associated with Monero" types do or don't want.
