Looks like the more centralized/scammish a coin gets, the faster the transactions.

Who would have thought?

GO GAVIN!

PayPal Lite

Ripple!

Holy Holy

Holy Dollar!

The other devs like Peter Todd have done such a good job putting out evidence that dramatically increasing the blocksize will lead to centralization of bitcoin that instead of refuting it the pro Gavin power grab are a screaming chorus of urgency and crisis reminding me of when there is a bill like the patriot act being pushed through congress.

Many are already decloaking and admitting an elitist centralization agenda.

That thing about the fork not happening until 90 % of nodes are running XT, that is going to change too.

These guys on a power trip have no intentions of waiting for 90 % of the nodes.

Get ready because if this powergrab is allowed to go unchalleged next thing is the 21 million BTC limit along with changing the target time.


The Gavin Regime will turn into Darth Vader saying "I'm altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further"

Made a video with some quotes from this forum and /r/Bitcoin.

I will quarify that only the first 2 quotes are MicroGuy, the rest are other various cheerleaders of centralization.


At first I thought MicroGuy was being sarcastic, but after reading his post history it appears he is serious.

When I first heard of Bitcoin, my mind was closed to it, because I was thinking this was just another centrally controlled currency.

Then recently I started seeing people who are apostles of the State, attacking Bitcoin as a bad thing.  That was when I decided to do research on what this bitcoin is.  I was amazed to find that it was designed to be a decentralized currency, where the value can't be decided by any central bank or centrally controlled group.

Some time ago I realized that all tyranny and economic inequity is the result of central control of resources and/or prices.

The creation of a currency that is diametrically opposed to attempts by a small group to centrally control it, is a great poison to the tyrant, and the rent seeker.

As to myself, I have small business in the Keystone State, USA.   I shall be excepting bitcoins there.

Also, my business is totally "legal" and conducted openly.
