@cointastical Sure; I have no clue what short term price movements might occur.
@digitsu @ryanxcharles You can fork any time you want, but there’s no guarantee that the ecosystem will follow you.
@DavidSilvaSmith No sir! You can’t kill an idea.
@matbalez The buck stops at your node. No one can force you to run rules with which you disagree.
@matbalez Indeed, thus you should reject any attempts by humans to govern the protocol.
Every Bitcoin crisis is an opportunity to buy cheap BTC from the people who convince themselves that THIS time Bitcoin won’t be antifragile.
@BKBrianKelly The “bitcoin is controlled by an elite group” is a narrative that has been propagated for years…
@ryanxcharles Ehhhhh maybe; it’s also possible that conflicting philosophies would have naturally diverged via freedom of association.
@ryanxcharles I see extremist culture also coming from /r/btc and bitcoin.com 😬
As you’re aware, anyone who wants to fork can…
@BKBrianKelly Anyone is free to discuss whatever they want. Also free to leave if they want. I pose to you it’s not as divisive as it seems.
@ryanxcharles There’s no doubt that some people tried. But given the multitude of channels online, they failed. Remember I ran /r/bitcoinxt?
@BKBrianKelly Security model of the protocol is the same as it has always been. Anyone can leave via HF at any time. HF != theft of your BTC
@BKBrianKelly Perceived by whom? I sure don’t perceive that. I’d posit that Bitcoin is one case where perception != reality.
@RyanScudellari Actually, it’s so humble that it appears arrogant to those who don’t understand the reference. https://t.co/qq1wHVuNiP
@BKBrianKelly For further details, read my report from the recent Roundtable: https://t.co/hNvAOC4vck
@BKBrianKelly It is different: these meetings have absolutely no measurable effect upon the protocol itself. That’s my point RE: outcomes.
@deadalnix @ryanxcharles And Core development governance structure favors vetos similar to how the protocol itself favors vetos.
@deadalnix @ryanxcharles IMO the Core devs who are employed by Blockstream are highly experienced & good @ making technical arguments.
@BKBrianKelly FED 2.0? I refer you to the many similar meetings (and their outcomes) that have occurred over the past several years.
@deadalnix @ryanxcharles Understandable. And these are a problem because your view is that Blockstream controls Bitcoin Core development?
@deadalnix @ryanxcharles Of course, so you agree there’s no evidence of any AXA / Bilderberg conspiracy to “cripple Bitcoin?”
@EdanYago @alistairmilne @ryanxcharles Indeed. https://t.co/PCTRq4xS2W
@ryanxcharles are you a proponent of the AXA conspiracy theory now?
@morcosa Based upon a wide variety of (unscientific) polls and my own interactions with users & customers: about 10%.
RT @mikeinspace: The answer we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived…
