Hear hear.  But what do you expect on a forum where most people are paid to post?  And where you have people of all different countries with all different levels of writing proficiency?  You're going to get heaps of slop splattered in all different directions.  And yes, that includes topics that shouldn't exist and many, many posts that shouldn't exist.

This forum is frigging unlike any other I've ever been a member of.

Edit:  This is probably in the wrong section, though I think it's a very valid topic.  Should be in meta, no?

How many people do you think are being paid to post?

Its massively important for any human society... even hunter/gatherers developed methods for governing themselves. I believe we could benefit with a decentralization of power in nation-states however as in their modern form they seem to only represent business interests. Since WW1 its been the dominant nation states exploiting the smaller ones.  This is in part what makes crypto so enticing, i feel that we have the opportunity to create our own systems to operate in through rules established in various digital currencies. Rules that cant be changed, an example could be establishing a part of fees dedicated to a fund that covers healthcare for all users. Not sure how this would work out exactly as i am not well-versed in programming but at the very least their is an opportunity to change how we govern.

Feels like the main issue seems to be what each group (miners, hodlers, core...) wants bitcoin to be. The currency that everyone uses daily with very low fees or a store value for all others to be traded against, a place to hide the value where the fee price is less important.

Well, it is like who they want to lead the bitcoin network and who is powerful. And I dont like paying big fees transacting bitcoin because all I want is just to know if my reciever can get the bitcoin I transacted. I dont want to pay bigger fees because I love bitcoin because of its low fees and fast transactions.


Exactly, BTU becomes the kind of coin you would be interested in for the short term because it solves (when bug-free) your issue which is high fees and transaction times. I'm torn because I want bitcoin to remain both a store of value and maintain its use for everyday purchases, which ignorantly from my perspective seems to be core in the long term.  There is definitely a risk that while the fees continue to increase and price slides from the debate that another coin will take over assuming that it has smaller fees and quick transaction times.
