theymos threatening to ban the biggest business in bitcoin

[DiamondCardz]

The situation has been blown out of proportion and now the circlejerking on reddit is bringing us dangerously close to a situation where we're going to allow the big businesses in bitcoin to make the decisions about it. We are walking a fine line between decentralisation and centralisation of the decision-making.

I can appreciate the fact that theymos is actually standing up for what makes sense in terms of the bitcoin protocol.
XT and BIP101 would be a very unfortunate thing to see take place and I pray that this doesn't become the case.

Most of these companies only care about a quick buck.

I think its a fair statement though. If they somehow can affect the growth of bitcoin community, then it must be fair to simply have restrictions the community wont find coinbase helpful. What's good for them is where they better stick, after all they started with bitcoin.
