SatoshiLite @gavinandresen Definition of Bitcoin is like a definition of a word. It can morph and slowly change over time. No one controls it.

@seweso Unclear what you’re saying; you mean by using Ethereum protocol to generate “bitcoin” tokens?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to seweso

via Twitter Web Client in reply to seweso

@seweso Right, at the end of the day “Bitcoin” is whatever set of rules people agree upon. Any rule can /technically/ be changed.

@TomReichhart The tweet to which you are replying was in reference to a block that took 99 minutes to find.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to TomReichhart

@Snyke I suppose @haq4good is making a case for a nation state backed actor or some entity with more money to lose if BTC succeeds?
