I'm sorry, but I can not understand it. I do not understand the logic behind that.
I know that it is very annoying to quote Satoshi, but his original idea was that anyone could make a transansation with another, without the need of a third party; He even talked about small payments. I understand that his words are not absolute truths, and that he may also have made mistakes, but, that is far from wanting to convert bitcoin into a tool of a new plutocracy, in a type of money that only new oligarchs can use. That's what I have trouble understanding.
And maybe they are right, maybe it does not collapse, and we see the birth of a new economy and oligarchy, but not different from the previous ones in ethical terms.
No
I am sorry.
I mistook you for our garden variety troll, and I apologize. I see now that you have an actual concern, one I share as a matter of fact.
You bring up a valid point. I can see how my attitude displayed above could be seen as every bit as distasteful as the bigblocker "if you don't have $20,000 [to spend on a full node] to help this network then fuck you".
I sincerely wish that the scaling debate could have remained civil...but this is the world we live in, and I am not prepared to cede control of the potentially most liberating technology ever conceived to the current big block cabal.
Yes, a microtransaction crypto implementation would be nice, perhaps Litecoin, perhaps L2/offchain solutions...but not shoddy, untested and hastilly implemented code on THIS blockchain...NO, the market has said no.
