Bitcoin needs to be compatible forever otherwise it's not a long term storage option.

If I want to set away a long term investment as a set & forget investment for like 10 years. I dont want to come back to this forum or to any bitcoin site and read the drama and FUD about new versions coming that are incompatible with the old ones.

If I want to setup some bitcoins for long term savings, then I should not need to check back every week for updates, thats the whole point.

These morons want us to be constantly updated with bitcoin as they steer it by their wishes. No, bitcoin is supposed to be nobody's property.

Imagine if you set away 20,000 BTC in a savings address, and then you fall into 10 years of coma. When you wake up, you find out that you don't own those coins anymore because some moron pushed a hardfork, and those that didnt uppgrade in time, lost every coin!!!
