I'm not a fence sitter. I think I've made it clear that I want to see lower fees, reliable confirmations, and to help spread bitcoin all across the world.
The only thing I'm fence sitting on is whether the next move for the BTC/BCH ratio is up or down.
Nothing personal, but let me do a "socialist wants free shit ideolog" -> english translation
"I want to see lower fees" translation: i want free shit, i do not want to compete with people more intent, cause
"help spread bitcoin all across the world" i want my investment go up in value first and foremost, while
"reliable confirmations" i want it all to be very comfy for me, myself and me, i can not code, but someone must take care about that.
"but i am a philantrope, really"
I recently spearheaded the launch of a 5-year / $3-million dollar project called the Gigablock Testnet Initiative. The goals of the project are to do scaling R&D so that bitcoin
can scale to bank the billions of unbanked, facilitated low-friction payments between anyone, and .... well simply be better
money.
People like you may miss all of the work being done to grow bitcoin because you don't realize that you're in a censored echo chamber where only Blockstream/Core's narrative is allowed to propagate.
You do not know nothing about what i read/know or do not know about "all the work done".
Saying "you are in a censored echo chamber" is not an argument, hence can be ignored as is.
Goals of a project, "spearheading the launch of the real beginning of the starting, now really" does not equal an actual, finished, workable product. Come back when it is done, implemented and used, than i will congratulate for your hard work and ingenuity.
In 3rd world countries, where the economic need to use bitcoin is high (Venezuela, Zimbabwe, India, etc.), it already trades on a higher value than in the banked comfy western countries, so the basic assumption you argue that "scaling problems prohibit 3rd world use" is factually false. You can make it cheaper for them, yes, but it is not broken.
