What's wrong with selling all your Bitcoin (prove it IMO) for altcoins, Veritas? Why would you stick around on the ostensibly sinking Bitcoin ship, if you really believe what you're saying?
Why do you believe Bitcoin is sinking?
dont worry about carlton he is cheek to cheek with greg maxwell who wants monero to be the next big thing.
carlton doesnt care about bitcoin(decentralized/not controlled).
in short he defends core not bitcoin, because he wants core to control bitcoin(centralized mindset), thus defending core is defending bitcoin in his eye
he wants core to twist bitcoin, to stagnate bitcoin with fee wars and nodes that dont validate(if its not core) or store transaction history(if its cores pruned mode) so that his favorite monero can grow.
i highly doubt carlton can have a logical debate about bitcoin without it sounding like defending core.
