Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
all this time we were worried about central control systems from outside but it turns out they are like cancer they grow from within.
And they thrive because the organism fails to recognize tumors as malignant, and even feeds them more than the sane organs.
I am in agreement with Stolfi? This isn't the end of Bitcoin. It's the end of the world!
1. Seriously, the core dev's involvement with Blockstream is a real conflict of interest. Sidechains can be used as a way to route around a bottleneck. They will profit from bottlenecks that they created in the first place.
2. There is something wrong with a protocol if there is no diversity of code running on top of it, or that can run on top of it.
3. It's silly to argue about the trade-offs in scalability vs mining decentralization when code development is so centralized that it is essentially a monopoly.
