In the early days of Unix, there was a several spinoff flavors being maintained by groups of Elitist Developers, each with their own core kernels, and each flavor's camp continued with their mantra that they were maintaining their source code base aligned strictly to the needs of the masses, not catering/bowing down to business needs/ further centralization, that their kernel was "purest form of Open Source", yadda yadda yadda.

So guess which implementation/flavor eventually won the long term battle? Yep, RedHat Linux. ONE IMPLEMENTATION. ORIENTED TO BUSINESS NEEDS, NOT STRICTLY AVERAGE JOE ELITISM.

Why? Because Business Needs > Average Joe needs. (Sad but true, but we need both to work together)
(Wasn't the whole point of Bitcoin to spend it on Merchant (ie., BUSINESS) goods and services? Without Merchant adoption of a fast, scale-able monetary solution with no middleman needed, Bitcoin loses its main core appeal )

And where are many of those original elitist Unix/Linux implementations now? Relegated to the dustbin of History.

Moral of the story:
The Bitcoin core developers better wake the fk up, grow the fk up, and start working with those in touch with global business needs. Or they will eventually (and very quickly) find themselves in the dustbin of Bitcoin History.

so you want a bitcoin microsoft and facebook corporation like to take over bitcoin?

sry not happening.

but you can always fork off and play with eth ~~dapps~~ derps.

Stupid response is stupid. Of course I want Microsoft and Facebook to EMBRACE, PROMOTE, and USE an open implementation of Bitcoin. Just like I want all the other global merchant/commercial/service industries to do the same. That *was* the original long term vision/goal.

And you don't? I guess you'd prefer just a few centralized Chinese miners, Blockstream, and a few elitist derpy neck-bearded Average Joes to pass a few btc back and forth for drugs and gambling purposes. And that's it. Roll Eyes

stupid is the stupid talking stupid about pro bono developers that actually contributed to bitcoin code for years and helped bringing it to where it is actually.

stupid.

and no, neither google nor facebook has any business with bitcoin as their sheep users just do not give a fuck about security nor privacy.

they'll get what they deserve, which is all the colored shitcoins the incorporated rainbow shitshow will come up with.
