You can enlighten them, but it might take decades. Remember those genius who only get acknowledged after their death or even several hundred years later? Being too advanced is a disadvantage
If the block size debate has demonstrated anything, it's that there's a fundamental lack of understanding about how Bitcoin actually works. If you're going to the moon, would you like your spaceship built by a handful of informed engineers, or by the average tax payer?
Relevant quote. Nah, what's going on here is a bunch of grasping careerists want to send Mercury-Redstone V1 buzzbomb to the moon, and Wernher told them "lol, ur stupit, NO." Which brings up another point: comparing a few lines of code to rocket surgery. No issues with galaxy-scale self-importance, nope. P.S. Lauda, I'm yet to see a line of code from you. Til I do, am assuming you're one of the ignorant unwashed you love to shit on. |

I've got some great links that you may wish to use to expand your sources of information and upgrade your understandings. It's completely up to you what you want to believe, however. ... How is the "democratic principle" working out on our planet? ...
On the planet? Slavery nearly abolished, literacy. standard of living, and nearly every other metric: up! Myself, I'm farting through silk  But you, your life didn't work out too well, I take it? And you blame ...democracy? Because can't possibly be your own fault? Slavery merely changed labels. Watch: The Story of Your EnslavementLife for me is now always getting better than it has been before (since being born that is), and it's only through gnosis that such is achievable. So life's getting better for you, and you can't even post a link to your batshit UToob without fucking it up?  see link in sig Hahahahahaha  "Ah'm 'a gonna drop some gnosis on y'all. Where did the money go? The answer is obvious my friends. It is the Jews! Covetous Jews, who have taken all our money and hoarded it for themselves. And hidden all the cash in some secret Jew Cave that they built, probably back in the early 60’s…" |

As opposed to following the blind, angry, and decidedly unpleasant minority? The one resorting to threats and blackmail when shit don't go its your way? |

Bitcoin Classic is nothing more than an altcoin without the support of the core devs and eventually the miners.
I suspect you will be proven wrong within a few short weeks. You really think the old cypherpunk guard will just blow over?! You should spend more time here in the trenches. This will get ugly. I knew the bride when she used to rock & roll!  oh... pooped a little... |

... Core would most likely present a 90/95% consensus threshold with a longer grace period.
Only 90%?  Too low! That ain't no consensus, that's a minority. Can only hope you'll staunchly oppose it, Citizen! Sincerely, The Violated 9.9% Majority. |

all currency are being used for something illegal by somebody.
bitcoin might be easier to not be tracked though with mixer and all that stuff.
Bitcoin is very easy to track. You can see the money movement in the block chain. It is much easier to trace than cash. Right. Caveat: You don't know who the moving money belongs to. Can't arrest a BTC addy  |

Is it just me or are we just waiting to take off after the blockchain controversy has been dealt with?
'Block size controversy'. But yes, I do think once this pissing contest is over we will experience an upward trajectory. Yeah I just can't wait Til you get me straight We gotta get out of this slump Got to hold on With a happy song Til good things come along  |

Children of Chinamen. Celebrating. Putting a dark chapter of China's history behind them.  And, in the death, as the last few corpses lay Rotting on the slimy thoroughfare The shutters lifted in inches In temperance building high on poacher's hill And red mutant eyes gaze down on hunger city No more big wheels Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of love-me avenue Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald, any day now The year of the forking fork!!11!  You said it, brother! LLLlllLlllLllOoooOoOooOoOosers Losers! |

... there are only transaction capacity challenges that are largely solved and are being implemented and technological growth constraints that can be adequately worked with.
Well no, you have slightly bigger problems... You know when an army is truly defeated? Not when its frontline Shtrafbats get slaughtered, that sort of thing's to be expected, plenty more grist where that came from; a battle is not the war. But when the generals turn on each other and start slapfighting. With spittle, potty words and hair-pulling! Ain't no recovering from that...   ...that, and bright-but-insane Dr. Strangelove types like MP threatening to take down Bitcoin if things don't go his way |

... Whilst nations like Germany may want it's gold repatriated, it would not be in their interests to acknowledge that the gold they have at the Fed Reserve is actually gone and/or doesn't exist and/or never did exist to begin with.
Which only goes to show how fallible the gold standard is. Remember kids, it's the goldsmith who invented fractional reserve banking In the past, savers looking to keep their coins and valuables in safekeeping depositories deposited gold and silver at goldsmiths, receiving in exchange a note for their deposit (see Bank of Amsterdam). These notes gained acceptance as a medium of exchange for commercial transactions and thus became an early form of circulating paper money.[6] As the notes were used directly in trade, the goldsmiths observed that people would not usually redeem all their notes at the same time, and they saw the opportunity to invest their coin reserves in interest-bearing loans and bills. |

Segwit and classic have practically similar 0-0.25MB difference capacity differences , with segwit allowing for better longterm scaling by fixing tx malleability(something that is required for payment channels to progress) .
Logically, supporting Classic doesn't make much sense.
TL;DR: Classic takes an existing kludge (1MB limit) and changes it to 2MB. No complexity added. Core keeps the existing kludge (1MB limit), and *adds another, horrendously convoluted kludge, just to keep the *other* kludge*. In technical circles, this sort of thing is called "fucking retarded," "a patch on a patch." The 1MB limit is a sanity check to prevent DOS attacks, not a kludge. You clearly have never coded a line, iCICLE, because that's the very essence of a kludge. It's an afterthought, a conditional meant to discount information that's clearly out of range, in this case 1MB worth of data when a few kb is the most that's expected under normal, non-DoS circumstances. It's quick, it's dirty, and, like all magic number fixes, it works great til shit change. And then it don't. Hence kludge. It is also a serendipitous supply demarcation line useful for establishing fee markets.
Eww! Sounds like a used lingerie store. They teach you to talk like that at "Lrn 2 talk like an aging divorcee impressing the pants off her plumber" school? FFS, icicle... |

Unlike the Bitcoin network, what makes "supercomputers" super is they can solve more than one problem, they're "programmable." Think of the Bitcoin network as a whole shitload of circa '70 pocket calculators, with all the keys broken except for the (number) 2 and the plus sign. So as long as you don't care what number you add "2" to, you can do it super fast by using Bitcoin |
