Does someone know why John Carvalho would say that "Decred is an absolute joke". I respect him, and his views on Bitcoin. But I saw his comment on Twitter, and would like to know the legitimate reason why he believes that.

Is there bad history between him, and Decred, or its developers? Is it because he does not believe in on-chain governance?

Gembitz, do not bother trolling. You are in my ignore list.

No reasoned maximalist fits into your bill here. Monero is tolerable mostly because they actually make unique design decisions and provide some confidence for privacy value. Same for Grin, but I have a feeling Grin will be a dud or short-lived. Decred is an absolute joke.

He's covertly shilling Decred. Everyone knows it's the shit.

Who the fuck is John Carvalho?
A youtuber with 6 videos produced, with 1000 visualizations in the most watched?
A guy with 29,000 fake followers on twitter?
He's probably just wanting some attention and to be a dick after reading this Tone Vays comment:

I believe John Carvalho is one of the Bitcoiners who came in with the wave 2011 - 2012. That's before most of us. He is not some Youtuber. Hahaha.

His views, and insights about Bitcoin are sound, and between him and Tone Vays, I pick him.

Plus do not attack the person, attack the debate. I wanted to ask him why he said Decred is an "absolute joke", but someone already asked. John didn't give a reply. It would have been good to know his opinion.

maybe he didn't answer because he don't know how to "prove" what he said.
an "absolute joke" are strong words.. it's not like to say "decred have some weaknesses"

[Wind_FURY]

I heard him say that on-chain governance won't work from one of his tweets. Although he did not into it because Twitter's character limit.

I will reach out to him and ask why. Let's find a rebuttal.

The ticket prices are always going up despite the bear market. Might the miners be buying the tickets too? Would it not cause some sort of "failure" in the system if they "control" the POW side and the POS side?

Many people are splitting tickets.
It was after that that the ticket price began to rise

[gtzanap]

Prices have been on the rise almost since the beginning of the coin.
After the algorithm was fixed to allow for smoother price changes, it has been on a slow but steady upward trend regardless of price.
Ticket splitting is too new to account for that, although I imagine it further increases the upward pressure as the barrier to entry in the staking activity has been removed.
