Jeff Garzik, gmaxwell and Lukejr turned this into an issue by moving to strike Jon Matonis and Roger Ver, two established Bitcoin community members who present themselves competently and articulately, based solely on their political ideas. Now, instead of discussing the topic of strategy and purpose for the Press Center, jgarzik wants to silence any debate. I think that determining the press strategy is very important.
(checks page count) This is 14 pages of "silenced debate" and counting? That excludes further silenced debate on reddit and github.
Matonis has a Forbes column. Silenced and censored? Posh.
Further, you will also note that I
retweet @jonmatonis material, and
happily review Ver-owned BitcoinStore purchases. The world is not as simple as the critics would paint.
But bitcoin is growing up. The number of non-anarchists in this world vastly outnumbers the anarchists, and a truly global, inclusive currency needs to appeal to all.
The fundamental nature of bitcoin
is. It is what it is today, and nobody is trying to the change the engineering. You want true monetary freedom? Get bitcoin into as many peoples' hands on this planet as possible.
