Core is poison, and so are you.
How much did you pay for that account, Roger?
My name is Dustin Freeman. I've been involved with Bitcoin since early 2012 after hearing about it on HARD[OCP], and subsequently reading Satoshi's white paper.
I did not doubt that Bitcoin would be success until Core's abrupt about-face on that white paper. But Core does not control Bitcoin, as much as they would like you to believe.
Check the edit. The fact that you shilled for XT actually pisses me off. You are calling out Core devs (which are the only reason bitcoin continues being as solid as ever) while you shilled the disgrace called XT, with some fucking moron that wanted to be the "beneavolent dictator", someone that was clearly anti privacy:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-xt-fork-can-blacklist-tor-exits-may-reveal-users-ip-addressesand someone that dumps the coins then ragequits to crash the market latter, then goes to work in R3cev, and R3cev is a failure, then bitcoin breaks the ATH months later. LOSER lol.
Mature.
Ignoring the facts. You worshiped XT, an altcoin that wanted to be controlled by beneavolent dictator XT, and wanted to crack down on TOR users. Therefore, all of your arguments are invalid (not surprised you are dumb enough to support BUcoin)
(maybe they're affiliated with some altcoin that they believe it could profit with Bitcoin's decline?)
gmaxwell the devs 'boss' (CTO) works for blockstream which have an agenda and their own platform.
Gmaxwell loves Monero.
gmaxwells wage comes from AXA and DCG, which DCG owns coindesk and many other services. and also zcash.
DCG and blockstream is also involved with the bankers hyperledger.
also another blockstream employee, who invented FIBRE (ringfensing blockstream nodes around the bitcoin pools as the top of the network topology) (termed upstream filters). is now working with 'chaincode' to create hyperledgers 'fabric'
Oh wow, the best coders on the planet are working on effective offchain scaling (off-chain being the ONLY way to scale to mainstream levels). You guys are a waste of time. I can't wait to see BU fail to see what the name of the next delusional big blocker wet dream is named like.
