Wow, the attitude of the Bitcoin core developers is the polar opposite of what I would have expected to see here.

Gents, I wonder which of the following responses Satoshi would have been ~most likely~ to give upon learning about the Counterparty project.

Would he have -

A) responded with excitement, and honored that others are building upon his work, done all he could to support the shared goals of both projects? Or would he have -

B) said "this is not what Bitcoin is for, you free-riding parasites!" or "I don't recall seeing a BIP for this, you intellectually lazy mofos!" and thrown the project under a bus?

I wonder if a little of the founding ethos may been lost here.
