With your way of thinking, there is absolutely no way bitcoin could be anything else than a perpetual store of value, any spending of it would be deemed to be considered a huge loss in the future. And the fact that it would be so defeats its purpose, therefore its value, resulting in a paradox IMHO. I'd be interested reading your way of refuting this paradox.

This is off-topic and would require more brain power than I have to spare right now in order to discuss. This way of thinking applies only to the this particular matter (ranks; not in general).

I have a good reason. I want to change my username because I want to match it up with my current avatar and I will not change my avatar ever.

What are the names of the lower tiers?

That is a bad reason and a waste of his time (unless he has extra time to spend). There are now lower tiers aside of Donator ATM, he did say he would consider it.

The same offence is happening to the customers who have already paid 2 BTC or more for one cup of coffee. Will they go back tomorrow and file a dispute as they have paid much more?

You are comparing a drink that will get consumed pretty quickly to a forum rank which will be eternal (until you die or the forum dies). The comparison is quite bad.

You need to match up with the current situation. I did not want to offend you but this is my suggestion.

"You"(admins) don't "need" to , its theymos' decision and not a "democracy", he decides what goes. Donations, even though are appreciated, aren't that necessary, Ad revenues provide a regular stream of BTCs.

Correct. Nobody has to do anything. Sometimes it is very hard even for the staff members to have a influence on his decisions. He ultimately makes the decisions as I've said.
