Experience in programming is one thing. Deciding what Bitcoin should be is another.
So people who major in economics and politics/other random field should decide what the best
technical approach is?
Obviously Bitcoin presents an overlap of technology and socioeconomics.
My point was that I (and many others) aren't willing to follow a group
of developers simply because they are experienced technicians.
I think Mike Hearn pointed out some of the key philosophical/technical
points held by Greg Maxwell. Greg is obviously bright, but
based on everything I've heard from equally smart people
such as Gavin Andressen and Peter Rizun, I've
decided that I also disagree with Greg Maxwell's position and vision
for what Bitcoin should be and how to scale it.
As someone pointed out in a recent thread "people are not satifisfied
with Core's scalability roadmap".
You can disagree; I'm not here to try to change your opinion. I'm
simply telling you mine.
