Title: [2015-11-07] Theymos Threatens to Ban Coinbase From Reddit, BitcoinTalk and Bitc

It is no secret that the Bitcoin subReddit is not the most fun and loving place on the Internet by any means. Over the past year or so, various reports have surfaced regarding /r:/Bitcoin being mismanaged, and comments are being downvoted – or even removed – at every turn. Things have really gotten out of hand once the discussion about Bitcoin block sizes started. Those discussions are now spilling over, and Coinbase could be effectively banned from all major Bitcoin platforms soon.

And here we go with another topic about Theymos..

Can you lock this and ''move'' your post to one of these duplicated topics? In order to prevent further spam useless posts.
Thanks.

Edit: fixed urls.

Coinbase is collecting patents on Bitcoin technology, assuring us that they'll be "good guys", while at the same time admitting they are doing so to enhance the valuation of their business.

Just parse that rambling post for the details, its all there. If theymos wants to punish them, its his stuff, he can do what he wants. I personally think Coinbase are going to be future bad actors, and I don't buy their flimsy defense of racking up Bitcoin patents.

I am not  a fan of Coinbase. I don't like that corporate mindset and I thing that Bitcoin technology should be patentless, and free to use for everyone.

Additionally I think Reddit is paradoxically a bad place to conduct a discussion. How good can be place where your comment can be down voted to oblivion or deleted?

After seeing the bullying tactics and rubbish posts by the XT shills here I think @theymos is doing the right thing.

Fuck them and their attempt to take over Bitcoin!

Nice off-topic spam... Then When such a spam got reported and the mod delete similar shitposts, they start crying and talk about censorship and power abuse. (not mentioning a specific person)

(@Mods you have to do your job and lock/remove duplicated (triplucated exactly, see my previous post above for links) topics like this...)

Off topic? I'm comparing this to the Chinese "Culture Evolution", Burns all books. Anyone talks ill about our party is paid shills by the Western.

Only dumbfucks or communist themselves would even argue its a right thing to do.

If ppl want to support XT, its their choice. Stop making it sounds like they want to destroy Bitcoin . Sounds familiar to RPC?
