Re: Analysis and list of top big blocks shills (XT #REKT ignorers)
Only the charlatans are not brave/honest enough to come up with a proper name and instead leech on bitcoin's name notoriety.
Only the authoritarians are not brave/honest enough to live by the free market they claim they espouse to. People calling themselves libertarians, but demanding protectionism in what's supposed to be an open and permissionless system, free from restrictions. I'm pretty left wing myself, you'd probably even call me "statist", but apparently even I have more stomach for an open market than you do, coward.[...]
I crave the opposite of authority, you're the one who thinks they can tell other people what kind of software they can and can't run to suit your own agenda. You're the authoritarian fascist here. I say let the chips fall where they may, because I embrace a free and open market. I don't fear it as you do. Bitcoin is and should be whatever its users define by the code they run. If you don't want people to have a choice, a closed-source coin would be far better suited to your goals.
WTF?That was an attempt at mockery, seeing as people like hdbuck, icebreaker and a few of the other hardcore MP fanboys seem to enjoy calling everyone with even the slightest left-wing leaning a statist. And the jab remains that I still respect the free market more than fake libertarian pretenders like them.
Which is the more authoritarian attitude in your mind?
- a) Unilaterally changing network parameters is a threat to the network and should be derided / ridiculed / dismissed / etc.
or
b) Any user can unilaterally change any network parameters as they wish because it's an open and permissionless system.
I'm of the opinion that hdbuck's view, "a)", is authoritarian. My view, "b)", is the complete opposite of authoritarian. Thus concludes another edition of "why do I always have to spell it out for people like they're not all there upstairs?"
