The clowns you refer too are the ones actually working on Bitcoin development which make them more relevant than Peter could ever hope to be.
The clowns I refer to are you and alikes. Gavin (the lead developer before core got compromised) was one of them who made Bitcoin relevant.
At the moment core is compromised and hijacked by stagnators. It won't last. They'll be forced to deliver bigger blocks or to become irrelevant.
