Quote of the Century

What is this, reddit?

Peter Rs presentation was very good, but I think that pun about blockstream is completely unnecessary. There's enough bad blood so no need to add more fire to the flames.

Yes, very good presentation. The quote of the century needs to be spread as much as possible. Otherwise the presentation doesn't get the attention it deserves. That's why some people already spread it on other social medias.

Bitcoin is as strong as it's user count and monetary status of said ones. At this point that strength is lower than the "interest groups" you're talking about,
so i wouldn't be too optimistic. Atleast not for now that is.

cheers

If BTC goes places then the current crop of overlords will look impossibly quaint and will be rapidly forgotten. It's kind of embarrassing that a supposedly world beating phenomenon is being squabbled over like WoW raid gone wrong. I'm looking to the day where they're an irrelevance.

You mean to say they're actually relevant now?  

The idea that Bitcoin will cause a global economic collapse or that it will seize the power from the mostly unnamed "corrupt elites" is laughable.

A digital currency won't seize the means of production. It has zero chance of changing military hierarchies. A digital currency by itself is incapable of "totally changing the world."

Any advance of cryptocurrencies to seize large %'s of global markets will require old money to get on-board.... more or less rendering the anti-establishment rhetoric impotent.

Only time and mass adoption will tell if these dams will break. Bitcoin has way to go.

Have fun trying to keep bitcoin decentralized with a blocksize big enough to keep all transactions, no matter what, on chain and with micro fees. This is unfortunately a pipe dream. Bitcoin or any other technology unfortunately deliver this so we are stuck with solutions like blockstream + "let a fee market develop" approach. So until someone comes up with a better idea just deal with it. It's better than centralized nodes.

where can i watch the video replay

It was on youtube but it was later removed (along with the other talks for that session).  The videos for all the other sessions have now been posted so this is the only missing session.

Was there any talk about the BIPs, especially BIP 105 & BIP 106 in the whole session ?

This conference was aimed at presenting research related to scaling bitcoin in order to "set the scene" for future proposals.  The Hong Kong conference is intended to discuss concrete proposals like BIP105, etc.  So, no proposals were presented during PowerPoint talks, or discussed at round tables.

I'm not sure. Some are saying that it was censored; others are saying that there were technical difficulties. What is strange though is that people from the conference said to me personally that it was posted for a while before it was removed.

sounds potentially fishy. let's keep an eye on the situation.
