Bitcoin Community Members and Developers Propose Changing Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work

a threat and a proposition is nothing real (i wouldn't take anything from bitcoin[dot]com seriously)

Do you think that the Bitcoin Core development team should be fired?

I believe that the Bitcoin Core developers currently have too much power; there's no system of checks and balances for them.
They can decide to make massive changes to Bitcoin based on their own personal preferences, and then force those changes on to the users.

do you think, i believe.... again - no substance. and no, core can't force changes on to the users!!

The btc users would have loved being able to mine btc on their home PCs again, but as it was just a blackmail threat to get their way on segwit,

do they? who are "the btc users"? i don't want to mine on my home pc again, but i guess i don't count as "a btc user" then... Roll Eyes

after all. if paypal offered payments for micropennies but said it will charge $80 per deposit and $80 per withdrawal.
people will just use vinmo

are you comparing bitcoin with paypal and venmo?

i edited it to clear up any misunderstanding

im comparing bitcoin to dollars.. and paypal to sidechains/[bb]altnets like LN[/b]
im comparing altcoin to euro.. and venmo to an altcoin sidechain/altnet

Did you just call the Lightning Network an “altcoin network”? Because that’s a misinformed way to describe it. It needs an onchain transaction to open, and fund a channel in Lightning. In actuality those transactions in Lightning are Bitcoin transactions that have not been broadcasted in the Bitcoin network yet.

i think it is a good idea to ignore franky1 on anything he says about the lightning network
