all the endless fighting about block size is wasting time, resources, and slowing progress.

We are obligated to fight features.  Don't expect the small block militia to just give up and roll over, abandoning our diverse/diffuse/defensible/resilient network to the depredations of Hearn's bankster buddies.

It's not "wasting time" to defend Bitcoin from internal and external adversaries.  To the contrary, that's how we enhance our antifragility.

IOW, Bitcoin runs on drama.  Always has, always will.

If you get tired of it, try taking a nap or making a nice cup of tea.

Maybe bitcoiners just aren't as excited about bitcoin as human nature turns it a bit sour. That's my sentiment atm.

I feel you. I'm not talking about the utility of bitcoin. But all the endless fighting about block size is wasting time, resources, and slowing progress.

The popular opinion seems to be that Core's refusal to lift the 1MB block size has put an early, artificial cap on adoption. I don't know how true it is...But the market is rarely wrong about these things.

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Whether or not it's put a cap on adoption, it certainly seems to have put a cap on the price.

Interestingly, there is an analogous problem in the capital markets at large right now.

Stock markets have come well off of their Summer highs.  There is evidence that the global economy is slipping into recession if it isn't there already.

Central banks don't seem to have a clue about it, and don't even acknowledge the possibility going by the FOMC statement today.

OPEC countries are being killed by the collapse in oil prices, but can't agree on production quotas.

There is a general breakdown of confidence due to incompetent, ineffectual leadership across the board.

I think the flow of topics in general--not just the economics section--is lacking.  There are some very bright people who used to post regularly here, the old-timers and so forth.  What I see mostly is speculation threads that are just wild guessing and are completely unnecessary.  I don't have a great background in economics, just a few college courses, so I don't have a lot to add here.

Its a nice thought, that all of this stress-testing will lead to a better bitcoin. I hope you're right. Though it does seem like Hearn just gave up on his vision for what bitcoin should be and/or has been purchased.

There have not been many interesting posts on the forum regarding economics lately, so occasionally I'll read through the older threads.
