These are the numbers I am talking about -- the ones based on the assumption that hardware and bandwidth costs will always decrease. So you admit that you pulled them out of someone else's ass. That makes it better?

Okay buddy, tell you what, you can keep plugging your ears and stick to nutcase MP's numbers.

... And I will stick to the numbers from the chief core developer who has the majority's interests in mind, and more importantly can push code from GitHub.

Tell me in a few years if MP does anything or go anywhere!

I'm the one "plugging ears" ?? Please make an argument for me to hear, rather than pasting the same meme over and over!

You know who else claims to have "the majority's interests in mind" ? Every socialist regime ever! How has that worked so far? Anyone who claims this as a goal is exactly the wrong person to be a leader in bitcoin. Do you think GitHub matters? Why then is the latest version number getting stamped on less than 10% of the blocks? And even that number seems high -- I suspect someone is mining at a loss just to boost the number.

It's not good enough that MP created pretty much everything in bitcoin that's worth having!? He's already been at it for more than 2 years, but get back to me in another 2 -- I'll fill you in on what you missed out on.

How do you propose that we invent a better finance system? By not inventing and trying new stuff? How did everything that we have today got to this point? By getting it right from the first time and never trying new and absurd things to everything around us???

Go invent your "better finance system" somewhere else; if it's truly better, it'll win out. I'm not afraid of all the countless altcoins attempting exactly this.

There's too much potential value to be realized by a universal monetary ledger to imagine that some kind of fragmented solution will successfully compete.

Who is talking about a "fragmented solution" except those in favor of a fork!? Stop being a coward rallying the derps on this irrelevant forum, and swing by #bitcoin-assets where you are inexplicably still on the lordship list.
