I am totally agreeing with this statement.
Many of Bitcoin enthusiast(pioneers), Miners, Developers, Users etc. are too afraid of changes even though it is for a common good(not all of course).
I know that many of us is skeptical about things that is new but other people tend to pretend to be concern just for the sake of their own, what I mean is the political side behind the Bitcoin's growth because many speakers or with positions make themselves or acting like they are in charge and they know what will happen if they implement this or that and at the end there is no better solutions that is being implemented.
I Think this is the downside of being decentralized.
None of that matters for some alt. All it is is some alt. Many take the view that Bitcoin can't afford to mangle itself in the pursuit of bells and whistles.
Perhaps that's been taken too far now.
All I'm taking away from this speech are the words - pot, kettle and black.
I'll be getting rid if we end up with a Bitcoin controlled by this guy.
