People don't seem to understand the fundamentals of crypto !
If you *remove the 21M coin limit* your chain is NOT COMPATIBLE with bitcoin, so of course it will not be bitcoin. You have invalid blocks according to bitcoin's protocol ! You have simply produced an altcoin that is not recognized by the bitcoin protocol.
What about removing the *1 MB block size limit*?

Nobody is "trying to harm" anything. Consensus mechanism, nothing else.
I don't think you are informed on the background of these actors nor their motivations.
Miners pay millions only for energy already (how much is your investment?) and miners (sadly...) might be more centralized as the rest of our community - they will come up with enough % of hash power and nodes if needed ( costs less than 100$) if time is ready.
Irrelevant. This just adds a sybil variant to the existing hashrate attack.
We can dispute forever and try to split our community - it does not help, no it rather harms. Sit back and watch or spend some millions.
Then tell the BU folk to stop trying to harm Bitcoin.

I do - I speak to Bitcoin United.
This monster cluster fuck we are in right now has something good.
We now have more than one solution - it's a luxury !
The reason is clear, one group has failed to deliver the no-brainer solution that fits all.
I feel very sorry for some 'core' Core devs since I ve spoken with one just some days ago for about 1 hour face to face trying to understand some of the issues - as unbiased as I could - politics and own agendas are bad....
Most ve done and still do a great job keeping things just up and running (most forget about this !) - but sorting out the right features for the next releases is hardest in terms of scaling and long term future and 'we' all try to deliver best, but just are dammed to 'fail' sometime - that's our complex life.
Admitting such failures is one of the strongest personal features human can have. Only with this we can do the next step forward and still we don't know for sure it the next one is correct.
