That's like saying if "webpages are legit ways of publishing content" or some other such nonsense. Bitcoin was only the beginning. And "Altcoins", for anyone that doesn't know, are not all created equal! Yes, there are lots of shitty webpages, but you shouldn't group them all into one barrel. There are some REAL serious contenders being built. ~~ Title: Re: Brian Armstrong of Banker-Owned Coinbase Says we need a "FOR PROFIT" fork?

But they don't tell Apple and Samsung how to design them. :-* ~ Companies like Coinbase and Circle need to stick with retailing, and let core focus on design unmolested. Retailers should retail, miners should mine, and core should develop. Title: Re: Brian Armstrong of Banker-Owned Coinbase Says we need a "FOR PROFIT" fork?

They might just get that chance... and the GPU mining section might get a lot busier too. ;) Title: Re: Brian Armstrong of Banker-Owned Coinbase Says we need a "FOR PROFIT" fork?

Or they could contribute back to the community like Red Hat, since they have $100 million to run a business built on FOSS that other people wrote for them.

I guess it's nice that Coinbase hires the handicapped. x2 What he says does not even make sense. Another of his tweets Quote It's not about bitcoin Classic winning and Core losing, it's about moving to a world with many competing forks. Competition drives progress I thought this was some sort of act to rally the masses for his agenda, but maybe he is just that clueless about Bitcoin. |
