I will also grant that there is a certain level of technicals, economics, politics, computer programming that must take some faith to accept because there are not too many people (even the really smart ones) who are going to understand all aspects of bitcoin, even if they specialize in some of them
Correct. Myself being an exception for the most part (although anyone can make mistakes, I do keep learning faster than those Core social justice workers who believe in democracy and thus making it impossible for them to learn).
First of all. I thought that you had decided to childishly wish me luck in losing my coins, and you were going to continue to attempt to dialogue with me? I guess you changed your mind?
Second, I develop a considerable amount of skepticism whenever I hear people describing or characterizing themselves as "the smartest person in the room" or anything close to that. Instead of describing and characterizing yourself as smart, wouldn't it be better for you to actually demonstrate such smartness through your ideas and presentation of ideas. So far I have not seen it. So far I have seen a lot of name calling that seem aimed at inflaming and provoking rather than being justified descriptions about what is happening and inaccurate generalizing that includes the reliance on several faulty presumptions.
(including some of the developers not understanding some of the politics and economics, but they still end up supporting the right principles that cause bitcoin to serve as a stronger and stronger product of course with varying valuable use cases).
Incorrect. It is impossible for them to learn. They
were socialized into the democracy religion and cant be cured.
Get the fuck out of here.
First of all you are attempting to characterize core as if it were some kind of centralized business, when instead it is largely open and pushed by merit. Those people who have good ideas and present their ideas well gain respect in such community.
The system is not exactly democratic, but certainly there are strong democratic aspects that allow meritorious participation... strongest ideas win... Also, like Adam Back said in the quoted posts there are incentives built into mining, that kind of assume lack of trust and self interest, but that miners will do the right thing based on not wanting to kill their golden goose. Sure there may be some powerful players who attempt to burn the thing down, but likely those evil players will get shunned and miners will move away from them. Of course, economics, game theory and politics play out too... and bitcoin has been adapting to some of the gamesmanship and one-upsmanship, too.
Likely bitcoin has gotten stronger from the multitude of attacks through 2017, and sure your spreading FUD about segwit is just another one of those attempts at an attack to attempt to get peeps to move off of segwit.
so how is that playing into anyones hand?
I should not have to explain this concept. If segwit fear spreaders are trying to cause folks not to use segwit or to adopt it, then they achieve part of their objective when users act on such fears and fail/refuse to use segwit. It is largely a systemic issue rather than an individual issue.
We try to prevent the hardfork and help others protect their real Bitcoin,
Now you are a "we"? A royal "we"? (which would just be you).... If not a "royal we", then who are the members of your stupid ass propaganda/FUD spreading team?
