Shit.

Noone can own bitcoin. Get a brain.

Yep.. that's my thought too... The thread has a kind of bad premise, even if Maxwell has quite a bit of influence, he only has influence as long as he is making sense to convince others to go along with whatever he happens to be proposing to do or not do.

Pretty much. And claiming so is also pretty much a slap in the face to literally the hundreds of other contributors sending patches to wumpussince the implication is clearly that they're too braindead to make up their own mind and instead just go along with whatever gmax says. This is partly the reason why the crazy people have basically zero developers helping them seize control.

And gmax doesn't have commit access to the repo anyway. Duh.

Is this all real or just a joke. So what will happen if somebody owns bitcoin, that is the next question. Will bitcoin be controlled by maxwell, will decentralization of bitcoin remains or not? Will the blocksize changes or not?

Im not going to react neagatively as of now, but if things go out of control due to maxwell owning bitcoin then thats another story. Lets just hope that if maxwell owns bitcoin, bitcoin will be better than ever.

Maxwell owns bitcoin and things are not better than ever. Worse than ever. High fees, and terrible transaction throughput. more than 50,000 stuck in the fucked up system. With large blocks - bitcoin price would be over $1,500.
