In by Case , By FUD
F = FACTS
U = UNSUNG
D = DEBUNK
Cheesy

Pretty much when anyone tries to redefine FUD spreading as if it were some form of higher but necessary truth, then most of the time, that person is engaged in such a practice of disinformation. (by the way, FUD spreading = the posting of information (usually misinformation) that is meant to cause Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt in the reader of such)

Thanks Newbie, Wink

There is a lot of something being spread, don't step in it.

Cool

Yes, another sign of a misinformation campaign is attacking the person rather than the argument. And, by the way, I am not a newbie.. just having some issues with my regular account, as might be inferred by my username.

Substantively, I have trouble with quite a few of the seg wit naysayers, because in part, when seg wit was first proposed in December 2015, there was nearly unanimous agreement that it was a good thing for bitcoin. And, overall, there really is no major technical criticism against it - except for attempts at FUD spreading (in other words misinformation campaigns that play to emotions rather than logic).

Surely it would be a good thing to get seg wit activated in the coming 6 months in order that Bitcoin developers will be able to take advantage of some of the features and to build upon it and to bring more to end-users, such as myself (and maybe a large segment of the population that does not want to get into technicalities, as long as their value remains decentralized immutable and securely able to store and transfer).
