You cannot kill the cow you are milking, but you can suggest changes to the equipment doing the milking to increase your chances to milk more than your competitors.

Some people will milk the cow until it starts to bleed... for them it's all about profit... they do not care about the cow.

They use their poor internet infrastructure and their government as a excuse, to justify changes to suite their situation.. They do not want to understand, that within a free market, everything goes. {The guy with the bigger guns, win}

The change will be done, with or without them..... They have the option to choose, when a fork happens.

The suggestion they have made, is also the option I would take, because it just make sense. {Do small changes, before bottlenecks are anticipated}

Nice try, but I can't imangione Roberts doing just that.

No one is promising anyone future returns here.

What you'll actually find is that it's a law enforcement officer's dream. On a small level: yes, it requires no centralized point, and that's great if you want to transport value stores without regulation. The problem is that centralization is required for general purpose use. As soon as you have that, you have KYC laws coming into effect (check out the proposed BTC regulation in NY State from earlier this week). KYC laws + public ledger = much much much better than gold for LEOs (edit: or cash, frankly).

Do you want to ruin Bitcoin?
Because allowing fractional reserves would be a good way to ruin Bitcoin.
Too think off requiring 100% reserves as being anything other than one of the only positive requirements of these rules is nothing short of idiotic.

I've been wanting to build a self-regulating meshnet using Bitcoin for a while now. Just put some Bitcoin into your router and it'll negotiate a path to whatever you want through whatever other routers it needs to use. If you end up providing more bandwidth than you take, you can end up financially ahead. You could even think of it as a better way of mining bitcoin, if you're one of those who fixate on the monetary reward without regard for its fundamental necessity to the network.
