Translation: "The establishment can't just march into the Bitcoin developer space and demand the changes they want"

This guy is a bad loser, his own system (Ripple) died a death, then his buddies Mike Hearn and Gavin Andresen tried (with every trick in the book) to force their opinions of what direction Bitcoin development should move in, by trying to install themselves as the lead devs with the keys to the repository, i.e. a coup attempt in software development. It failed, badly.

Bitcoin.com show their true anti-Bitcoin subtlety here too. They tried to cheerlead the failed coup attempt, and so this sort of bandstanding comes across as pure sour grapes grumpiness. "Waaaaaaaah, we can't change Bitcoin to Bankstercoin, it's tyranny!!!!"



Tyranny of Satoshi, bitches. Suck it up.
