Re: "Bitcoin is at serious risk of becoming the MySpace of cryptocurrency" - Gavin
Now he argues that wanting to validate every Bitcoin transaction is "irrational." In other words, he suggests we toss the entire full node security model into the trash bin.
There you have it. He's wants to completely change the model that satoshi built. I wonder who influenced him. 
Lol, no.

You must improve your shilling game, theymos is paying you for this crap?
That doesn't speak to whether widespread SPV use is particularly safe at this time. Fraud proofs may help, but some developers like Peter Todd doubt their viability. Satoshi isn't here to speak to the infrastructure and security mechanisms required to make this viable at scale, and he didn't imply that it was viable back then, or now. So let's not deceptively use his words, please.
