Hey all,
I've been watching Bitcoin since its inception (whitepaper) by Satoshi, and have been following the Bitcoin phenomenon grow upon the US and then the rest of the world throughout the years, and while Bitcoin had it's ups and downs (prices/usage, but mainly the fear a round it this last year) it's been a huge success and an amazing project that had withstood the biggest and strongest evil forces you can think off (governments, state judges, whales, asic companies, ...etc) and it seems to me that Bitcoin will probably have few more years it needs to suffer as it becomes fully mainstream and finally a part of our life as a decentralized currency.

Whatever happens to Bitcoin is totally in our hands, but we cannot let individuals ruine Bitcoin. Individuals like whales/51% consensus pools (company) and more. Although it's decentralized, and quite fast (with the aid of the Lightning Network of course) I think that Bitcoin Core must implement some sort of protection/punishing mechanism to make sure the status quo is not affected by the hands of those wishing to control it, and therefore doing whatever they want with it (dumping prices, withholding coins) ...etc.

It's time that developers really think hard on the state of Bitcoin and where the true vision of Satoshi (either a group or individual it doesn't matter) is. It's our obligation to remain true to that vision and make sure that deventralization at its core means true equality to its users.

Whatever your thoughts are, please share and let the community follow what's right, not what is!
