how badly can fuck ups in the scripting language (new OP codes) screw up functionality in the main protocol?

I was quite shocked to see Trace Mayer punting side chains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut65i7Mrvyc,
I cant wait for BTCd and i think Andreas Antonopouloss prediction that there will be too many vested interests soon to effectively change the Bitcoin protocol, this gives me some sense of surety.

For the rest this Bitcoin experiment has become highly politicized, so what comes next?
yeah, i was surprised at Trace too.
well, he was a late comer to the game. he didn't show up in this thread until 2012 and as a follower of his RuntoGold blog, he admitted he missed it at first back in 2010 or so but picked it up for real i think in 2012 when he showed up here.
Doesn't he say he first started actively recommending (maybe he's stretching that) bitcoin to people at $0.05 - $0.25? That'd have to be late 2010 or early 2011...
Sidenote: Looks like he got www.runtobitcoin.com redirecting...

so we know sometime after June 14, 2011.
don't get me wrong. i like Trace and i consider him a friend. he knows what he's talking about (except for Sidechains and gold
) and he is one of the best to articulate it. he's one of our best advocates and he gets around. i followed him when i was a goldbug btwn 2005 and when i dumped in 2011. i think he should've won the seat for the BF last year. he also knows how to pound on ppl which i admire.i'm just settin' the record straight.
