His success plateaued a couple years ago but the rest of Bitcoin continued to grow. His accomplishments aren't nearly as important or impressive today as they were in the past.

He also gets off on leading a cult of personality, but unfortunately as his relative importance to Bitcoin shrinks due to Bitcoin's continued growth relative to his plateauing, his ability to attract and maintain the cult is shrinking.

This means that in order to satisfy his ego, he needs Bitcoin to stop growing.

I like your proposal for market-based block sizes. Have fun starting JustusCoin to implement it.

Davout's opinion on the 20MB fork is correct; your ad hom attacks on him just make you look desperate.

The Monopolist Maximalist position is obviously untenable hubris and increasingly being modified to the more humble/reasonable Minimalist Maximalist paradigm.

Andreas Antonopoulos (speaking at MIT), recently said:

"Bitcoin may end up being the gold-reserve currency digital gold reserving value for other currencies, hundreds of other currencies.

As long as you have a two-way exchange between the value, you can very seamlessly move from one to the other I expect we will see a world where bitcoin provides a core fungible currency value layer on top of which youll have protocol layers that deliver micro payments, fast transaction processing, anonymity and all kinds of other programmatic guarantees depending on the niche application. Which is why there will not be one currency to rule them all, because there is no one application for everyone." (Reference: http://youtu.be/J8y_GypCWf4?t=28m2s)

Are you now going to also accuse Andreas of needing to stop BTC from growing, to satisfy his ego?

Are Andreas' accomplishments and contributions "plateauing" as well?

Is Andreas likewise leading a "cult of personality?" Or are Davout and Andreas both leaders in the same cult? Please clarify! Grin
