i actually think the underlying problem here is that some of us see Bitcoin as Sound Money who's sanctity is to be protected at all costs, like me, and others see it as an avenue to develop stocks, bonds, community currencies, assurance contracts, smart contracts, etc, etc.
as Bitcoin stands, it makes anything other than money very difficult to implement. i've talked about this for years here. how many times have i said "The Blockchain may only ever be applicable to Bitcoin as Money"?
if you don't buy into this view, then SC's seem like a natural thing. who cares if somehow a little inflation, centralization, or trust requiring needs slip in the backdoor?
I have a count of 3 Bitcoin proponents who see what you see, - sad reflection on comprehension skill. If Blockstreem gets to implement the protocol change to allow the extraction of value from the blockchain, we may get another chance at sound money in another 100 years, who knows, it could be longer as the sad truth is the majority cant see how this proposal destroys the one hope we have at sound money.
The sad thing is those crazy evaluations people where projecting wont materialist, they'll be eaten by inflation in the SC that your tormenters are so eager to see happen.
There is still a chance they wake up.
