I just ran into this. This is so stupid.

No shit it can't look like the one on the right. The one on the right is the problem. That's what bitcoin looks like right now and it's the reason why it doesn't scale.

Bcash is an attempt to make bitcoin it's self look like the one in the middle and in so doing give up all of the advantages that come from it looking like the one on the right. Which could be acceptable as a last resort if there were no other option.

Lightning network is a way to build a parallel network that looks like the one in the middle but doesn't replace the one on right in any way. Instead it lives separate and apart from it while being kept totally in check and made benign by the continued existence of the one on the right.

I'm so tired of all of this ignorant anti lighting network rhetoric that I keep hearing and seeing constantly. Do you guys think Ver is funding this BS. It feels like there is just too much of it for it to be organic.

P.S. Do you guys feel this is on topic enough for the wall observer thread. It's not about jews at least... but it's exactly about the price either... I just wanted a place to rant where it would actually be read and it is about bitcoin atleast...

Not enough talk of jello wrestling and asses, I say delete it.

Distributed is the new centralization

A lot of think tanks have worked out they can still manipulate if they run a distributed program and know we now hate centralization (anything centralized)

So now the fear starts as to why distributed programs are "SAFE" and "SECURE" for you

example

an australian bitcoin voting party announced Direct Democracy

you vote on each policy

then all of a sudden it changed from

Direct (Decentralized) Vs. Indirect Distribution (Centralized)

run away from the flux party

you can call them out now, go have fun
