I'm no gangsta, I just don't think BTC was started to provide VC's with a new way of getting rich. I don't agree that adoption needs VC input - it works because it works - that can be it's strength in exactly the same way that Linux didn't need VC input to thrive and survive. You want corporate money? Go Ripple.
Although I think Ripple will fail, It makes BTC stronger. more adoption
Who do think developed linux? without VC we would be missing out on some nice stuff as they heavily invested in it to make further development possible.
I have no problem with you flaming at me but please think before making stupid statements. And no I don't want to go in a discussion regarding linux
Jeez - I'm not flaming you I'm disagreeing with you - if you don't get the open source roots of BTC and why that's relevant that's fine, but it's not just a dispute on this thread, it's a core dispute in the whole technical world. I'll stay off your threads.
