The highlighted quote was not made by me. Brg444 has unethically and falsely used my name in a quote which I am not responsible for, it was most likely written by him. To do this is wrong, it is fraud, libel and slander. I have requested that he ceases to falsely quote me yet he continues to do so.
The quote wasn't made by you, but it very accurately predicted things you were to say later.
The fact that you are lucky enough to be able to afford to run a full node has no bearing on the discussion. Lots of people are unable to run a full node already, and certainly wouldn't be able to keep up with XT's plan of doubling the blocksize limit every 2 years until it is 8192 times bigger than the current limit.
Bu..buut buttt the majority of the very privileged, global minority, of users in the developed world can run a node!! Screw the other guys, they don't need to run full nodes, they can just use SPV right, right !? I mean, if me & my friends can run a node from the comfort of our european metropolis that should be enough decentralization?
At least I think so... and if you don't agree well man it's just like.. your opinion, yaknow?
