the same idiots.. doomad oeleo blackhatcoiner. .. boring
all they want to do is say bitcoin is broke, too complicated,

Nope. We're saying the fictional version of Bitcoin that only exists in your fractured mind would be far more broken than the entirely real and working Bitcoin we have now. Your version will never exist, because even if you paid someone to code it for you, they'd get sick of you and your obnoxious, ego-maniacal bullshit in about five minutes and abandon the project. And even if by some miracle you did somehow get it made, it would be shit and you'd be forked off. So the only option left open to you is to spout nonsense from your soapbox and accuse everyone else of social drama because you are wholly impotent to enact change.

We like what's being made. You don't. We don't need to change course because we are getting what we want. You claim you don't like where we're heading, but you won't change course. Yet you keep talking like we are the crazy ones.

now i got my rant over and done with. here is my experience from speaking to loads of people around the world and their reasons.

But you don't speak with people. You speak at them. And if we're talking about things that might be putting the public off, maybe we should consider the chance that one of those things is you.

It wouldn't surprise me if you approach these people and, without even being prompted, you just start blurting out all your delusions about "evil developers", "sinister cults" and your warped notions of what constitutes scaling and they politely stood there and listened, so you just naturally took it for granted that they agreed with you. I bet the moment the conversation ended, they were just left thinking "I'm glad that fucking headcase is gone". And then you report back here claiming you've championed the cause, when all you've probably done is made people think Bitcoin users are a bunch of raving wingnuts. You're probably doing more harm to adoption than good. If there is a chance you're scaring potential users away, maybe do us all a favour and don't speak to anyone else. After all, totalitarians make for a poor ambassador for a project offering freedom.
