Re: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)
"We don't need no reconsideration of Bitcoin governance." Oke, so you think we should not consider the political aspects of what is happening here, because according to you this should be a purely technical debate.
Yes, because hijacking the debates using politics is a poison for the mind and a terrible distraction from productive work. There is no issue with Bitcoin governance hence there should be no discussions or debate about it.
"XT has turned it into a governance coup on the premise of "decentralizing"." development and "inclusion"." Then how come you are using terms like "governance coup"? Even though these are political concepts.
You seem very dense.. I'm using the terms because these XT clowns have opened the political pandora box like some idiots who don't know any better. Since if this was a coup we certainly should consider the political aspects of what is happening here, so that we can be better informed on what side we should be on. Since sometimes coupes or revolutions are necessary, and this should also certainly be true for Bitcoin, after all that is why this political mechanism already exists within Bitcoin.
There is no contradiction. I am against making this a political debate but that doesn't mean I can't express my disappointment when ill-advised people turn this issue into one. Coups and revolution necessarily mean somehow is behind them, who are these people and why should we trust them? For someone who likes talking about politics so much it seems to me you are sorely lost as to how Bitcoin works in that sense.
