Title: Charlie Lee: Bitcoin Miner Voting is Kind of Silly, But Safest Option
Post by: bbc.reporter on May 15, 2017, 01:16:23 AM
Charlie Lee said that the mining pools are really in control if segwit is activated or not. The miners themselves only care about mining and the rewards they get. In the situation of the struggle of segwit activation in bitcoin, does that mean it is really the mining pool's fault for the low support of segwit?

“In some sense, it’s just the pools that are in control,” said Lee. “From what I know, miners don’t really care too much. They obviously want their mining to be worth more, but most of them are blindly just buying equipment and mining bitcoins and not really that into the scaling issue or SegWit activation.

He's right.

I came right now here to see what was going on with getting a digital currency adopted.

..all i seen was never ending topics about profits.

And since you don't need a digital currency adopted for profit what are the odds it will happen ?
Take note all these guys here are waiting for someone else to do it.
But it's the crypto-nerd's job..
I am the one into crypto not my Mom so why would i expect her to get Litecoin adopted and used ?

Unless there is a way for shit head profiteers to make money off of adoption with new users it won't happen.

Greed fuels the entire scene 100%.
Lee was right.. these idiots couldn't care less.

If they get less NOW for the risk of maybe getting more later they won't do it.
It's all about impatient fast cash and being a greedy slob.
Selfish lazy pigs rolling around in the mud like dirty swine.

They won't do any of the work but want all the money.
Like come on Whales pump mah coin so i can make sum ROI'z dammit !!111ONE
