Here is a version of the Blockstream koolaid deception and lies:
EDIT: it should be pointed out that miners have an incentive to support a non-segwit chain increasing the max number of BTC to 42 million even if there is no chain reorganization, because they can attempt to take that ongoing SegWit value increased block rewards for themselves, because as viewed from Satoshis protocol, this is a pay to anyone transaction]. A chain reorganization An increase in the mining rewards is a way to capture booty and lock miners into the fork with the incentive of the booty to jumpstart the consensus around taking SegWitincreasing rewards for the miners. So it is not quite accurate to state that SegWit Increasing the max number of BTC to 42 million requires a contentious fork. It merely requires that miners act in their best interests to "protect Satoshis protocol and the immutability and security of Bitcoin for the maximum long-term value of their hardware investment", as well as maximizing their profit in the short-term.
The above is how a Blockhead would spread disinformation and propaganda.
The truth is that SegWit was a change that violated the immutability of Bitcoin if it is assumed that miners will not treat the transactions as pay to anyone. The Real Bitcoin refuses to honor that change because it demands we do not fall down that slippery slope of mutating Bitcoin. So
stealing[accepting the donations] from the fools who pay to anyone is honoring the immutable protocol of Bitcoin. Yet a Blockhead would try to play politics and equate protecting the immutability with doing the opposite.
In-fucking-credulous!
And for a follow-up it, the propaganda gets even more twisted:
It was a lie, which was kind of the underlying point.
It is not a valid point. Those who make donations to miners in order to fund the blockchain are very generous and appreciated. Miners who honor Satoshis protocol gladly accept those donations. There is no lie/deception on their part. Blockheads are lying about the reality of what immutability means.
We can suppose his point is that two wrongs dont make it right or that stealing is always immoral. But it belies an understanding of contract law and reality. The deception was initiated by Blockstream who made people believe that donations were transactions. Society cant function if we reward deception by giving retards and rapefugees a vote. If the protocol says one thing, and some fools do another thing, they are culpable, not society.
