I'm afraid you noobs and authority cravers handle bitcoin to USG and corporations for the Big Brother Finale. (FASCIST! Angry

)

Bitcoin is about freedom, but freedom is not about democracy.
It is about the individual (as in the individual must be able to mine, run a full node, access the blockchain and cryptographic signatures by himself).
Not the illusion of the greater number of stupid 'marketed' sheeple precipitating the rest into the abyss.

Bitcoin consensus mechanism fights exactly this by preventing social/populist coup over its protocol.

You are stupid if you think any fork attempt will be successful as the previous ones lamely failed and with not even as much people involved as of now.

Bitcoin's protocol is not some incorporated IOS that has to be upgraded every two weeks^tm.

This is the core of why I don't agree with a lot of the proposals out there. They seek to weaken Bitcoin's cryptography in some way or pass off complete signatures as not necessary. Without a fully verified node you may as well be using pebbles recorded in the rockchain,

You do realize that Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) was a major section in Satoshi's original white paper right?
It was part of the Bitcoin vision from day 1. So where you do get this shit from?

SPV doesn't weaken the cryptography at all. You're spouting nonsense.

I have no issues with SPV wallets in general. It is possible to use one that verifies off your own personal server.

It's not nonsense at all. I sense a redditard. http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-December/000184.html

Just because it is appropriate for the bitcoin foundation (an institution) to run a full node doesn't mean
every individual user has to...which was the whole point of Satoshi's SPV...So yeah, it IS nonsense.

I'm not going to argue further with yet another brain-damaged BIP101 supporter, as you most certainly are.
