Okay. I guess Gavin is an idiot, the Chinese miners are all idiots, Brian Armstrong's an idiot, and anyone that doesn't agree with Blockstream is an idiot! lol
Gavin is decent, he sometimes has weird ideas (e.g. 20 MB blocks are urgent) but he's good overall (most of the time). Armstrong is an idiot. He would trade away the decentralization of Bitcoin for more money any day of the week.
You mean people are finally waking up to the notion that Bitcoin is not a democracy & how laughably little $ it takes to corrupt it?
Actually the problem is not within Bitcoin itself and you need a lot of money to damage the system. The problem are the people.
As bitcoin becomes inundated and infiltrated by companies like Blockstream and PWC, alternative currencies will learn from these breaches and compromises and build stronger systems to prevent Satoshi's original protocol from being perverted, co-opted, and corrupted.
Stop spreading propaganda. There is zero proof that Blockstream has done anything that has negatively impacted Bitcoin so far.
