I did not say the protocol could not be changed. I am pointing out Krubster's rather daft implication that the Satoshi-CSW question has anything whatsoever to do with the fact that SegWit is the alteration.
Sir,
I have always respected you. Not for your believes, but for being a gentleman and keeping a civilized tone despite all the (unfair?) bashing you receive.
jbreher deserves every fucking bit of bashing that he receives, and maybe even more bashing than he gets.
You're very intelligent, I give you that. I do however don't agree with you. For me, segwit is bitcoin, anything else is an altcoin.
Whatever. If jbreher uses his intelligence to deceive people or to to get caught in stupid-ass technical arguments, then that should take away from any point that he might be making. I would think.
Just because segwit wasn't mentioned in the whitepaper some 10 years ago, doesn't mean it can't be bitcoin.
Things evole. Technology improve. Just as bitcoin has improved. Segwit is a part of that improvement.
Of course, segwit is a part of bitcoin. It was fucking passed by overwhelming consensus in August 2017 and thereafter locked in. Of course, it is an improvement, too. NO need to argue. This ship of this argument sailed a long time ago...
