Joking aside I just want to underline how this kind of ties could be suddenly cut for a reason or another.

Sure. If that kind of business was easy and straigthforward, everyone would be doing it.
The particular way in which we do it makes it so that each of our customers has an account directly with the financial partner, which makes cutting the tie on a whim much harder for the bank.

It protects our customers a lot in the sense that the bank can't simply and suddenly freeze our funds on a BS pretext, they have to answer to each and every customer individually. As of today there are only two entities doing this properly, Paymium, and bitcoin.de

You are trying to divert from the subject one again.

Just putting a mirror in front of you. If that's not an enjoyable experience it's usually not the mirror that's to blame...

Gavin is the pioneer that pushed development and evolution further. Every software has evolved this way. Every software pushed the hardware to new limits. Looking at every piece of software from inception up to today's state it's easily to see that the requirements of software were always bigger than current hardware until they reach an equilibrium. Didn't PC games pushed the video card business further? Didn't video processing pushed hardware further in terms of pure raw power and code optimization?

You can't compare bitcoin to video games if you want to make any sort of sense.

By your logic no software should evolve if the developers aren't pushing the current hardware requirements.

With your logic we end up with a new iOS every year, designed at pushing the hardware and getting us to buy a new iPhone...

Even if the tomorrow's computers will not be able to handle it, it's not like we can't go back if the tomorrow computers will not be able to handle what is Gavin proposing and it's not like we will not have some kind of warnings ahead.

That's completely backwards, it just makes so much more sense to wait that the hardware actually is of handling it before doing a modification...
