So I posted the other day I had too many coins in gox across accounts to admit haha, and felt admitting that it was due to complacency and stupidity that I did so .... I take that back. I now have 5783 coins in Gox as I am buying here and if I have the patience and guts to buy back in to 8,000 coins then I will do so. They have never done me wrong and I understand that this is an experiment. If I lose, I lose and I knew that way back when.
So who here has heard of a Board of Directors who knew there was a problem for over two and a half years and wrote papers and academics detailing the problem but did not act until after the problem had manifested itself? The Federal Reserve you would say!?! And you would be right.
What is different here is we have the power to do something about it and soon you are going to see some changes. From me. I am in the shadows working on many projects but one of them will simply be a new core team of developers for BTC, the community will have the opportunity to go in Bitcoin 1.0's direction or Bitcoin 2.0's direction. I see too much Americentric development and discussion around Bitcoin's future. Luckily the phenomenon has a voting mechanism to choose which way they wish to go with 51% of the network power.
They have all served their purpose and done well. However for the experiment to become reality, we will require a bit more discipline and less drama.
I call bullshit on everything you just said.
